[Devils]

Two whole weeks without Valverde Haramball. Blessed.

Considering the way we play under this guy this year, how our matches go and our injury record so far, it's a miracle we are 2nd in La Liga, 2 points behind RM (who are shite too).

This guy's luck never runs out.

He will, but in April

We will probably win the Clasico and start the new year in first place. Rakitic will end up staying in January due to club de amigos power. Spirits will be high until the inevitable meltdown in the CL semis. It will be downhill from there again.

It took 100% Messi to get us even to the semi finals last year. He scored 6 KO goals in 6 KO games. No way we go anywhere this year. I'm predicting a R of 16 shocker.

We will need a favorable draw similar to last year until the semi-finals. Lyon and Man Utd were mediocre teams and part of the reason we got as far as we did last year.

True. We got lucky with the draws.

This year we got a pretty hard group though. The intensity of the games we played until now resembled a knockout game. This is good, but we need to improve our defense a great deal.

The ratfuck will get his contract extended if we win CL

Lol, if we win CL I might even tolerate Valverde for another year.

 

[FC B]

It's more likely either of us wins the lottery big jackpot twice...

Reminds me of the poll where people were asking if the 2015 treble was worth the trouble we found ourselves in afterward...

The answer is...always choose a treble/CL...even historical giants like RM, AC milan, and juventus don't have the former.

CL - La Liga double is a dream season. Team is still entertaining enough for me overall, thanks to the huge talent in the squad. What is lacking the most is European success under Valverde, he had every condition to lead this team to a CL title but bottled it. The style discussion is notable, but secondary.

this tells a lot what levels of desperation we've reached for CL win
