2019/20 UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread

[Nuggets]

lmaooooooo

Vidal in shambles.

Couldn't happen to a nicer club

Now I can watch the rest of the CL without caring who wins.

[Angelito]

This Barcelona side is one of the most pretentious football teams I've ever witnessed.

Disastrous against gegenpressing sides, yet they're insistent on playing out from the back, repeatedly shooting themselves in boot feet to the point they become amputees.

No plan B. Heck, even their plan A is fruitless.

It was so reminiscent of Arsenal trying to play out from the back under Unai. Especially against an elite side like Bayern. A direct approach would have suited Barca more.

While Barca's recruitment has been shambolic for 5 years now, you only have to look at the list of their Head Coaches since Pep to see where the problem lies: Vilanova (RIP), Tata Martino, Lucho, Valverde, Setien.

That's a shocking list for a club as big as Barca.

Too bad, Wenger turned them down.

Would have loved Messi Wengerballing.

I'm sure Brandon would have loved the sight.

At this stage, I'm hoping for an all BuLi final. But I'm afraid we might be in for PSG/City.

If PSG wins, football continues to die.

If City win—after the ban-gate scandal and all—Shakespeare would have probably written the play with all the bittersweet irony and subplots in there.

Man City winning it would be terrible.

Especially their obnoxious PR:

"David Silva better than Iniesta."

"Big clubs like Barca, Real, City..."

"Wenger spent fortunes."

"Manchester, the Barcelona of Europe—the home of football purity."

Please no.

How the hell did Bayern get this good?

JayRam spent ages telling me Auba's goals in Germany don't count because the Bundesliga is so sh*t but if its that bad, you don't produce a team that can smack Barca by 8 goals even with their defense having a mare.

No, I didn't.
I told you it is easier to score goals in the Bundesliga than the PL, which is true.

[Arsenal Tone]

He manages to state the obvious and still sound like he's being clever. Not saying thats good or bad, just an observation.

[Santi]

Master Weng

[Ach]

I don't get it

All that tweet says Wenger is spot on

About what?

[Santi]

watch the video lazy boy

[Ach]

Didn't realise we could click on the picture.

Cba listening to that man for a minute. Had more than 20 years of his crap. What does he say?

[LMAO]

dw, I'm having shades of 2012-13 Bayern.

But since it's 2020, we'll probably get a Leipzig-Lyon final, which would be equally hilarious and epic since it'd be the first final since Porto-Monaco without one of the European giants.

[LMAO]

Messi is to this Barca side what Wenger was to Arsenal during that 8-2.

Oh well.

Bring Leo home.

Time for him to join the South American contingent at Arsenal.

Kia isn't his agent though

True.

Anyway, us RN -

idk what I expected from that parrot, but it sure wasn't that. Sounds like a demented witch.

[Ach]

Lyon lead

[Zenith]

Ha! At least that sets the game up for what should be an interesting watch.

Tuning in as we speak.
