Champions League 23/24

[malvolio]

Im one of the few on here who’s always like the league though to be fair. Get lots of goals and the games flow nicely.

Granted it isn’t THE best but there are some decent sides there and they have a rich history with football.

That we knew for years. Along with the fans, club ownership model etc.

Every few years they get a CL finalist. Dortmund, Leverkusen, Bayern many times, Dortmund vs Bayern etc.

This season they might get CL+EL double.

They are profiting now that LL and Serie are not doing so well financially.

Great stuff from Dortmund. Two top professional performances over the two legs.

This just shows the clown management of Barca.

How many of these Dortmund players would actually walk into the starting XI of Barca?

Just shows how good coaching makes a difference.

Big W

Imagine spending 40m on him and not 80m on de jong.

What ifs..

Dortmund absorbed pressure well. PSG wasted a lot of time with sluggish possession and only amped it up when it was too late.

In the first half... they wasted the whole 45 mins with shite.

Dortmund being able to sit back and send direct balls to basically the fastest dribbler in the world is a huge asset. I recall when they scored against City it was basically an Adeyemi wonder goal.

Kluivert was desperate to sign him when he was here iirc.

How much did PSG spend on Ramos and Muani though... You can't pick and choose transfers like that.

Good year for German Football, W for @topt, even if Bayern don't make it to the final

 

[Morten]

I predict a comeback from PSG today

PSG 3-0 Dortmund

@Morten

We did it!

 

[Birdy]

BvB - Bayern is imperative now!

Not only because Madrid should get out, but for the historic repeat of the 2013 one in London again

Mbappe since the World Cup final has been subdued in most big games.

 

[serghei]

Bayern is activated now. Madrid in the mud.

 

[Birdy]

Mbappe since the World Cup final has been subdued in most big games.

Mbape is a fraud by now

Started at Monaco as the most special prodigy and year by year instead of improving, he remained at best steady
And at the same time, developed all the diva-attitude issues

By now, he needs perfect conditions like others serving him and open spaces to do something.
Let Madrid have him

 

[jamrock]

Lots of what ifs in this tie, durtmond should have scored more at home, but PSG also hit the post 6 times.

Just goes to show, in K.O football it's all about what happens that night, quality, form all that most goes out the window.

It's what you do that night, who excuses best, makes the fewest makes, and a large dose of luck.

 

[Horatio]

Has Mbappe lost a bit of pace? Seems defenders have way easier time containing him.

 

[serghei]

Gundogan should have went back to Dortmund.

 

[serghei]

Need Bayern to do their part and we can all bow down to the great Bundesliga.

Let's hope Bayern don't storm Leverkusen like in 2002 and pick their team apart. Times have changed.
