UEFA Champions League 2014-15

Call me crazy, but IMO Chelsea is the most dangerous team in the UCL this year. Mou always plays not to lose, and this Chelsea team actually has enough weapons to hurt you on top of that.

Real, Bayern, Atletico, they're all good enough to win it, but it is Chelsea I really think is the biggest threat.

Jupp's Bayern was far stronger IMHO.

Even stronger than the current in form Barcelona imo.

Jupp's Bayern was great because they were build to smack teams like Barcelona and also primarily counter-attacking teams like Real Madrid at that time. I think Atletico would have swept Jupp's Bayern aside, but we'll never know ofc, I just think that the way Atletico and Bayern are and were set-up, the former would have taken the game away from them and beat them.

This Bayern is depressing atm and while I think it's good for them to actually lose a few games so they don't get complacent, Pep is going crazy with his new tactical changes every game.

Jupp's Bayern was on a different level. There's a reason why they won the treble. It was a great success story too. To go from losing the league, and the two cups in the finals, to winning all three the next year.

Still watching that game from last night and it's facepalm material.

WTF is pep doing is beyond me. I don't understand what he's trying to do.

Pep is a great coach, but I don't think what he's trying to do is working. It's unimpressive to say the least.

Against Chelsea, I think, the key is to never let them get a lead. And when they play away from Stamford Bridge, to not let them get any kind of away goal.

Danilo wasn't good at all. Dani on a period is still better

Alves is the best RB in the world for this Barca team for so many reasons.

But can understand them not wanting to give him a lucrative three year contract at this stage.

Chelsea is just one of those annoying teams, and under Mou, more so. I can see them frustrating other teams and getting results all the way to the title. I can see that type of game like the 1-1 vs PSG repeating itself in their favor.

Caught the second half and yeah, I wasn't impressed. It's just one game though.

I really want to see Chelsea-RM over two legs.

They didn´t look that good against PSG tbh.

Yet they still walked away with the good result, hence my calling them an annoying and dangerous team when you're talking about results and winning the UCL. Chelsea can play better than they showed, it is Mou's fear of failure that makes them play conservative. He would rather not lose than win. Yet even playing conservatively and to not lose, they have enough quality to still take things from you.

Chelsea would worry me and as it stands, it would not surprise me one bit if they win the UCL by playing conservatively and beating you with moments.

End of the day, form is most important. We look solid now but it can easily change in a month, same with Bayern,Chelsea and Real who all can play much better.
Need a little luck as well.

And hoffenheim has a rich owner, see this system is unfair and disadvantage the league.

And Audi owns Ingolstadt who will be 1st league team too next season

Someone should go to the EU Law and protest against the 50+1 rule, it should easily fall.

( Oh and Redbull owns Leipzig)

Are Man City going to be missing Toure and Aguero for the first leg?

Man City will be missing Toure at least, since Toure is suspended.
