What is with this stupid fixation with Liverpool. not even football related. ffs give the real contenders some airplay.
Ive just seen Shakhtar with some damn quality peeps who deserve a mention.
As for manure its all bout the premiership lol, not chumpions league.
Barca and Bayern cruising through to the final 8. You'd think it would be one of those two who lift the trophy.
Roma are good but not at the highest level yet. Dzeko still scoring goals everywhere.
Real are obviously an almighty team but they aren't on cruise mode this year and would need to lift their game to win the big one.
Juve are an amazing side but have weaknesses. Just don't feel like they could beat Bayern or Barca this year.
Citeh are a solid wild card, they've never really challenged at the top of Europe but on their day could beat any team easily.
Liverpool would do really well if they won the CL with their defence the way it is. But they can attack and that will ruffle feathers against anyone.
Sevilla, they have a great midfield, a few options in attack. I wouldn't bet on them to win in, but they are very much a cup competition side and will be difficult for anyone to get past.
I'll be honest, I haven't had much of an interest in the last few years because of Liverpool's absence but I am closely following this years competition.
It's hard to disagree with much you say and I think teams will be hoping for Liverpool, Roma or Sevilla as the "favourable draws" - but these teams are all there for a reason. They're all good quality teams.
Barca have conceded 13 goals in 27 la liga games this year. 22 in 46 games overall. Undefeated in La Liga and the Champion's league, they've only lost 3 games of those 46 played. 2 of which were last August against Real Madrid in their version of the community shield.
They have solid centre backs, fullbacks that can pin opposition defences back, the best screening midfielder in the world, an extremely potent strike force and they don't usually cough possession easily. I hate people jumping on the Barca band wagon but this is one of their strongest sides this decade.
Wouldn't it be interesting to see Juventus v Barcelona as a tie! Juve have conceded something like 2 goals in 17 Serie A matches or something. Copped a few against Spurs, sure, but that defence...wow.
My prediction for the draw:
Real v Bayern
Barca v City
Liverpool v Juve
Sevilla v Roma
What are you saying "Not Even" to? The facts or my opinion of Barca's ability this year?
Barca being good, great or terrible has very little to do with Chelsea. As evident by the ease in which they picked you apart at the Camp Nou. As soon as you made a mistake they punished you. 4 mistakes led to 4 goals. Top tier team playing with a simple game plan vs a team who like Arsenal are struggling to find a starting 11 so close to the end of the season. Not good enough from both our clubs.
draw is in a bit under an hour
Sidenote Spanish police are a disgrace
