UEFA Champions League 2015/16

How many times will we play city, got bored seeing their asses whooped. Arsenal or Porto or even United would do just fine. Given united can qualify, it would be extremely funny if they didn't.

That's golden UCL boot for Ronaldo already in group stages.
Anyway, this new system could prove out a good one but also a very crap one

There is a chance that we might see some good match ups in group stage itself and it might effect knockout rounds too.

Crusaders from Northern Ireland and Dundalk(the best Irish side I'v seen in awhile) are the two teams il be keeping an eye on. Dundalk play BATE borisov. Really tough fixture.

Crusaders made it through to the next round

Yeah, Levadia was crap Crusaders deserved it, they had chances to even win the game but a draw was enough.

Shortlist for the Uefa best player in Europe award: http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsle...#best+player+europe+award+shortlist+announced

Only 3 Barça players, 5 from Juve. Quite weird.

So the CL winners who faced tough opposition all the way and had some really great players like Pique and Rakitic too gets less nominations than the runner-ups?

Yea. Problem ? Jelly ?

there were none of the defenders anyway... But Pogba(or Hazard for that matter) getting the nomination over Rakitic speaks loads... Rakitic is, after all, not a flashy player, you know the only kind who get the recognition of late!

It is the problem of hyping MSN too much IMO .many other players overlooked
Also ,it isn't CL best player award .it is European player of the season through all European competition IIRC .Iniesta won it in 2012 b/c of the Euro 2012 performance

no love for Verratti either. :c

Verratti did little in CL last season. Was absent vs Barca in the first leg and was mediocre in the 2nd. Hazard doesn't deserve to make the list either.

 

[TornAndFrayed]

it's hazard i was comparing him to. The bias couldn't be more obvious when Verratti led 10 men PSG against Chelsea with a world class match.

Then again you seem heavily biased as well.

mediocre, really ? sigh.

Pirlo, Pogba, Vidal

Do UEFA seriously think they did better than Rakitic in UCL and their respective domestic leagues?
