Champions League 2024-25

Also, no chance PSG progress v RM, even if they're the superior team.

RM is a different beast in CL semis and especially final until proven otherwise, repeatedly (like their 00s drought).

Idk, Madrid defense seems really weak, it will be a firefight that PSG could well win. Whilst Madrid are favourites would call it more 60-40.

You know what you get with Pucho's PSG. A bit like us.

I think that plays into our hands as our A side is a bit better than theirs.

Based off of the Liverpool ties, PSG vs Us is at this stage in the season, the best quality final.

They surpassed my expectstion, but Liverpool are on their worst phase despite getting results domestically. They really struggled with the the press and technical ability of PSG mind. Something that they haven't faced this season.

Alot can happen after the international break though. A change of training regime and a key injury or two can detail anyones season.

And ours are in the hands of DLH and K-Dawg. Fuck me.

All in all a great game. Too very good teams, top class football displayed, no controversial refereeing decisions, the better team over two legs eventually won.

Even though I wanted Liverpool to go through, I'm so happy to see Salah cry. I'm so happy.

Gravenberch hasnt even been that great in league lately.

Was textbook massive over reaction to find a new player in a team winning to overly credit.

I know, but they've shithoused their way to 2 CLs in last 3 years with fullbacks as CBs and ancient midfielders.

Everyone except Barca just self-destructs vs them, one way or another.

Pedri is far more creative than the other midfielders in Europe, but PSG's pair Vitinha and Neves pose problems because they are quick and move a lot.

De Jong is also among the best on this form tbh at breaking down the press. He is starting to lock that DM position for us.

I'm not underrating Bayern or overrating Inter. They've been far from perfect and have struggled quite a few times both domestically and in Europe this season.
Inter are in a bit of a rut, but they're still a very good team with a good tactician.

Bayern will be the favorites, but Inter just seems like a bad matchup for them based on what I've seen from them this season.

Not even the favorites IMO.
Let's see what the books say

De Jong is also among the best on this form tbh at breaking down the press.

Pedri routinely drops 13 KM a game and is the player with most mileage.

Goes under the radar in that respect like prime Xavi who used to drop 12-13 KM a game, every game.

Couldn’t see anything but a Villa-Barca final back in August and my opinion hasn’t changed. I loved the idea then. I love it now.

Liverpool is shite. PSG desrved to go through sadly.

 

[jamrock]

Please sweet 6lbs 9oz. Baby Jesus
Let this be our year.

I hope you are right.

I am sorry, but Liverpool showed nothing to be worthy of the the next round.

Anfield isn't the same.

BTW I prefer us to play BvB, rather than Lille in the next round

BvB are shit AF at the back, despite their good attack, we can rip them apart just by attacking properly

Lille, on the other hand, can park a double-decker bus and kickstart a frustrating game
