CL & EL Draw

I am not arguing about successful. Merely pointing out how spawny and irrelevant the Champions League really is and always really has been. Premier League is the top dog competition to win now. It has overtaken the comp in prestige.

PL higher in prestige than CL now? This is satire right?
 
Please...

The champions League is the most spawniest competition ever. Everyone gets all mystical about it but it is just a cup knockout tournament.

Both United 99 and Liverpool 05 were pure jammy luck. I'd argue United were robbed in 97 by Dortmund who were lucky to win. Spurs getting to the final in 19. Just to list a few. For Madrid last season all the chips just fell into their lap.

The last season the worse team won. 2021 you cannot tell me with a serious face that Chelsea were a better team than City but they won.

Perhaps maybe in the late 90's to mid 00's it was a well rounded competition between the leagues but the English league is so powerful now that the Premier League is a far greater achievement than the Champions League.
Arsenal was also unlucky to lose in there only CL final they had. :(
 
In the Spanish League. Auba was banging them in now he has gone back to nothing coming back to England. Also Pique has retired now as well.

To make things worse though Martinez yellow he picked up will mean he will miss the first leg. That means lord Maguire.

We were on a ten match unbeaten streak and only really lost to Villa because key players were injured or suspended.

We were missing a fit Martial, Sancho, Bruno, Varane and Antony. That's half our starting eleven outfield players out. If we get those all back in time I can see us beating Barcelona.

Barcelona have done very little in Europe for 7 going on 8 seasons now.

It is a bit like Milan and Juventus. Everyone sees them as a big juggernaught due to history when in reality they are at the level of Westham.

Nah, Barca will turn it on and we won't have a clue. Even if we do have a clue we don't have a striker in form. You say Bruno and Sancho missing, Bruno has had one good game this season? Sancho, has he ever had a good game for United?

Hope I'm wrong.

What? Bruno is one of the top chance creators in the PL this season.

Maybs it's just the game (admittedly not many) I've seen him in that he's been poor then. We're also clearly not taking full advantage of those chances either.

We've been miles better with Bruno. Sancho has had his moments but has tailed off. ETH is clearly a believer in playing the in form player so Garnacho has the shirt now until he doesn't perform.
 
The European Cup is and always has been the most prestigious trophy - the only reason Pep has said otherwise is because City keep failing to win it.
