always nice to see teams from eight different countries left in the EL at the same time that the CL's quarters are predictably an all-english tie and 2 spanish-italian ones, the europa is where it's at
you mean to the city with the highest police per head ratio in europe? they'll be fine, it's so cop-dense (especially pre-world cup) they probably won't even see any cska fans.
they could probably beat anyone over 2 legs, but in a final they'll get dicked because that's the juve way. tactics win legs, quality wins one-off ties.
there's a reason why almost everyone on the continent wants english teams to lose, after years and years of failure maybe some humility is a bit overdue
can only LAUGH at mistermagic after juve got thru without getting out of first gear at the same time that psg got dicked in the most pathetic attempt at overturning a first leg deficit. still thinks ligue 1 is a decent league, bless
the milanese clubs spending hundreds of millions in the past few seasons and still failing to make the CL is surely a good thing? the bar has been raised by napoli, roma and lazio thru years of consistency and good management.
don't kid yourself, juve may be reigning champions but they won the...
because of a poor manager that didn't even field the best italian player, never mind integrating the young'uns? france didn't qualify for 2 consecutive world cups at the same time that the late 90s generation that won the world cup and euros was coming through.
but hang on, when did this become...
it's not just one result, the gap in quality in atalanta vs lyon, napoli vs nice and second-string lazio vs nice this season alone was blindingly obvious. last season's lyon vs roma aside, every franco-italian match has gone serie a's way (inter - st etienne and lille, napoli - marseille...
what on earth are you rambling on about? atalanta, fiorentina and milan start with an average age of 23-24 (among the lowest in europe), never mind the top 5 having a handful of under 23s as nailed starters.
last season the youngest debutant record was twice broken with genoa's pellegri and...
not sure how good your grasp of english is but "sneaky feeling" implies that last year's finalists aren't favourites to go through? yes, a real and dortmund side at their absolute worst in years. i know liverpool haven't been in europe proper for ages but you should know that round-robin and...
also don't really get why you imply that a team sitting 7th in the prem would normally be favourites against a side that got to 2 finals in the last 3 seasons, during which the only leg they lost was after extra time? do you even watch this sport?
it is as insightful as stating that man city will win the prem, tho to be fair saying something that isn't already tediously self-evident is probably asking too much of you
