Who will win the Champions League?

[desoe]

Juventus would have been a lot better if they have added a really capable goalscorer to their squad in the summer. I mean - someone who really could score goals on permanent basis, not fucking Niklas Bendtner.

Juventus have the best defensive shape in the world

Having goalscoring midfielders like Vidal & Marchisio also helps. I think with Conte & good market policy, Juve will surely win the CL in the next 3-5 years.

Weren't they signing 1 of Jovetic, Cavani or llorente??

 

[Fishdoll]

Llorente is coming, if not now then in June. The Athletic Chairman is not an easy individual to deal with. Plus, he seems to be enjoying punishing Llorente (and now Amorebieta) for not renewing by sticking them on the bench, encouraging hateful articles in the local press, etc etc etc.

If we avoided injuries in the back line then it's ours, With ease...

Barca wins it in the final against Man Utd.

Dortmund and Bayern to make it into the semis.

Barca wins it in the final against Man Utd.

Dortmund and Bayern to make it into the semis.

I can actually see this happening. The pattern of the last few years is certainly saying that this is what will happen
Man U are pretty underrated imo. They are on top of the table in the EPL. I don't really see them getting to the final, but I can certainly see them causing a few upsets. Still though, don't see them getting to the final over Bayern/Dortmund.
From most likely to least likely to win it (IMO):
1. Barca
2. Bayern
3. Dortmund
4. Juventus
5. Man U
6. Real Madrid
7. PSG

Not gonna bother with the others, because we know they don't have a chance
Even RM's and PSG's chances are incredibly small.

And if that holds true, then Barca will play Man Utd in the finale... Because who did they play again in 2009 and 2011?

Guys what are you talking about??? Chelsea is gonna win the Champions League!

 

[United4Life]

Being biased, I would say United or we could get really close but Juventus seem like the team to take it. Italian mentality > everyone else

We have serious questions in our defense. Winning the champions league will come down to our ability to defend on the counters that's why I'm not sure we gonna win it this year even though we have the best team in the competition.

Once again why did we buy Song when we have the mighty and Mascherano? We could use a solid defender in the back.

We should be fine with Pique and Puyol playing. Having the best midfield and attack in the world will certainly help too. IMO, Barca are definitely the favorites to win it, followed by Bayern, Dortmund and Juventus (in that order).

Well, the post would have been more interesting without barca and the question 'who if not barca'//

Aside from that, I think the omens are there. Odd years we win it, and the final is again at Webley.. Maybe against united once more??

In terms of potential , who is the best
i would say first barca, and then come UTD, Bayern and Madrid (even this season) more or less at the same level, so games between them would be exciting. One level below Dortmund and Juve (surprises of this competition)..
I think only one team out of this 6 can win it.. No one else (We might see a Chelsea like last season again, but i think it is highly unprobable)

What i like is that some teams are getting better, so next year Cl would be more interesting with much more teams to claim it (stronger Bayern, stronger Juve, stronger Dortmund, maybe stronger PSg, and city with Mourinho of course...)
