Gattuso confirms Koulibaly won't play against Barca next week due to a hamstring injury. He hasn't played for more than two months now.

Probably better he doesn't. They've recorded a total of 7 wins in all competitions with him playing. Then 7 wins in 11 games, including beating Juventus and Inter in Coppa, since he got injured in late December. Man's a big liability this year.

The Bayern team look incredibly strong and perfectly poised to win the CL.

Looking at their starting XI, they have a really good mix of top senior players: Lewandowski, Thiago, Boateng, Neuer, Muller, Alaba, Martinez

and absolutely WORLD class (potential) young players: Gnarby, Kimmich, Pavard, Davies, Coman, Hernandez

Very good squad depth too: Goretzka, Odriozola, Tolisso, Coutinho, Perisic

Their squad planning in the last two seasons has been nothing short of exceptional.

Liverpool surpassed us in CL titles last year, Bayern will probably too in this season or the next one with a squad like this.

FC Barcelona continues to fall lmao.

Bayern are as poised as always. Give them a team that isn't a defensive shambles to go up against, Lewandowski becomes 10x less effective and the rest of the confidence tends to evaporate. Flick is a CL rookie too. I don't expect them to get past the next round.

Pretty pumped for tonight. Another fixture where anything could happen. Guess that's by virtue of supporting the club I support :lol:

If we can go out and batter City + put one past them by 30 min mark, it'll be so much easier to get a decent result even if they score on us.

I've almost been looking forward to tonight's game more than ours yesterday.
Let's hope City will mangle Madrid and bury their confidence ahead of the Clásico. I'm expecting a show.

Never seen us so low as favorites in the CL.

Liverpool with a 1-0 loss are still ahead of us to win the CL by bookies. Damn.

no intensity, lack of goals and conceding chances galore does that to you.

but hey, we're the best at passing the ball around aimlessly. do they award a trophy for that?

what site did u check ?

All sites essentially have them as favorites over us.

It's not that tough to imagine though. They are demolishing the PL in a way Bayern and PSG would struggle to in their one-horse league. They are just something else these days and 1-0 away isn't the worst result for them.

Maybe if we had won 3-0 against Napoli Away we would have been equally favorites.
