UEFA Champions League 2015/16

[NotInHere]

because CL is aimed to be an inclusive competition, just about 10-12 of the 32 teams in the group stages have no business being there but are there because they are champions of their respective leagues.

but being champions of their league, you would think they would put up a better fight

I heard the commentator say mamlo is like 12 points apart from the 1st place in their league currently lol

This record is useless, to be fair.

records are generally useless, they're just feeding collective circlejerking, that is also applyable to Messi though.

Lol Astana scored.
Gala is such a joke in the CL.

Edit: Well played Gala.....

I don't think any Scandinavian team is good enough to be playing in the CL. I strongly dislike the "winning league, qualified for the the CL" rule. These teams should be replaced with the likes of Napoli etc. to make it more interesting.

Napoli weren't even good enough to take the CL post in Sere A last season to begin with....

Anyway, if any Scandinavian team do well during CL qualifers, then it's just fair if they are included in the group stage.

I'd to remember that (few) teams from Scandinavia even reached round of 16.

Just deal with it.

yep i know, they're champions in the most loose sense of the word, it's like being a king, but of a no name kingdom with no army.

i just love how much passion cristiano shows when he sees that a pub level team is reeling 5-0 or 6-0...sure could have used that against barca, PSG, atletico, or sevilla this season.

thats true. As soon as the game isnt serious anymore, Ronaldo goes absolute bananas. You wont find any high scoring Madrid win without Ronaldo scoring at least 2

Ronaldo bullying Malmo the same way he bullied Getafe, Espanol and other scrub teams. I want him to score 10 today

No, they somehow qualified by beating Salzburg and some other team. But they've been shamefully bad this season.

Oh Sevilla scored.Now things should be more interesting.

They're not champions, they ended up in 4th or 5th place, 12 points behind the leader.

 

[Deco 20]

Wow, De Gea!

 

[Yannik]

Oh cmon Juve, Gladbach is doing all your work, help them already.

 

[El Flaco]

Some people are just too harsh on Malmö FF.

I'd say it's a massive achivement for them to reached group stage for two straight years.

Before that, there's no Swedish team in CL group stage for over 15 years (or something like that).

 

[Martindn]

holy shit lol

Then why are they in the CL?
