Champions League

[Katarina1]

Dominant cycles only last 3-4 years in top level football.

This is like the 100th example of it

Madrid reached 8 semis in a row but ok

 

[serghei]

Nope, depends on Shaktar. Right now Shaktar goes through and has the tie breaker with RM

Which means that if Gladbach wins tonight and Shaktar wins against indifferent Inter in Milan, RM will be playing EL

Them playing EL is not bad for us either. They still have to play and the games are 2 days before La Liga.

 

[Jenks]

Time for some Musiala magic please.

Grande Madrid

 

[serghei]

Madrid reached 8 semis in a row but ok

We reached something like 13 QFs in a row. A record in Europe. That doesn't mean we were very good all those times. Luck plays a part too.

 

[KingLeo10]

Madrid reached 8 semis in a row but ok

Look at the draws RM got in R of 16 and QFs from 10-13

 

[El Gato]

Don?t worry about LL dawg, we gonna rock the R of 16 per usual

Barely anyone takes Barca seriously after 8-2 with Messi on the outs TBH, but La Liga champion that didn't really fold against City, getting knocked out in groups after almost never(?, 1993?) being knocked out in groups? Coronaseason and all, but us in Europa would be just terrible for La Liga all around.

Hakimi has to put in a blinder if he ever wants to come back to Madrid and contend for a title.

 

[kattanib]

Need Gladbach to win tonight, right? Then Madrid can't finish first, but will play Gladbach's B-team who'll already be qualified 1st

So it's highly unlikely Madrid will end up in Europa League.

Can Gladbach win the champions league? No

Can Gladbach be the team documented in history to have robbed Real Madrid qualifying from the group stages? Yes

Gladbach is unlikely to play with their B team and if they win today, Madrid has no control over the situation it is in Shaktar hand to lose

 

[serghei]

Would be funny if Inter wins, and all 4 teams would have a shot to go through in the last game. Mental. Never seen that before in CL groups.

 

[KingLeo10]

Imagine getting swept by Shake the Donuts in the CL.

Lmao.

Yes.
But "funny" will be if Inter loses. They have nothing to fight then and Shakhtar wins that leg... Then it would be bye bye Real??? HtH Shakhtar is better.

Btw. For some raging Interista, I actualy like Inter.. .but they play funny football this year

 

[El Gato]

Imagine getting swept by Shake the Donuts in the CL.

Lmao.

Got swept by CSKA too. We love Slavs lately.

 

[KingLeo10]

Morten was talking that big game yesterday saying Barca should try finishing 2nd in the groups to change fortunes.

You caught a big L today, lad.

 

[serghei]

Imagine getting swept by Shake the Donuts in the CL.

Lmao.

Zidane should join Setien and grow cows if they go in EL.

Real have never got knocked out in the group stage since it came in. THey didn't always qualify in the 90s when it was champions only.
