UEFA Champions & Europa League Football Thread ** spoilers ** [12th - 14th April 2022]

Just watched the Villareal/BM highlights and it was ridiculous. There is only so much you can do as a manager when your players are intent on missing so many chances. Villareal put away their only good chance with a scuffed finish and Bayern wasted chance after chance.

This is why looking at how many trophies a manager has, especially in cups is silly. Bayern would have gone through 9/10 normally. Just poor finishing.

If you watched the first leg, Villarreal could have been 3 or 4 up too. Having watched the highlights, yes Villarreal rode their luck at times in the 2nd leg but even yesterday Villarreal were able to break on Bayern far too easily.
 
Yep. All the teams in the latter stages of the CL are more than capable of beating each other with only a small swing in luck or form on the day.

True, but when you look at the teams left in it not one of them will want to get Liverpool next. The only team Liverpool probably wouldn't want is Atletico. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see City out the running after being away to them with a 1 goal advantage.

The semis are already done. Liverpool, if they win of course, will face Villareal. We've already played Athletico twice this season, won both times so they shouldnt be an issue if both get to the final.

I can see Madrid beating City tonight aswell.
 
Wish I could be that way

I just look at the team and don't see anyone beating them or having the consistency against the smaller teams in the same way. As I said before, I was confident on Liverpool beating City even at the Eithad. Even with a draw, They can't shake Liverpool off and they will drop more points against crap sides than liverpool will. If City get Liverpool in the CL, they will lose. If City had got Chelsea in the Semi's or Final I'd fancy City to bottle it again. I think they are a club that needs to avoid English opposition. If they had I think they would be multiple CL winners already. Liverpool for me just don't look like having those off days against a Palace that City will.

This might change when City get a genuine focal point or three but until then they are the second best team in Europe.

Book your treble winners tattoo, with Everton relegated 2021-22 underneath it ;)
 
That's some leap to have a secret identity. I'm actually intrigued who I might be myself. As I only ever use this site while at work and my location even when I use goggle is all over the place depending which pc I log into and at no point despite reading this forum for years have I ever logged in on a personal device or from home. The registered email address was made up for this site only because as I say I'm on company time!

I don't state who I support because I don't have to, or want to. But whatever, if you think this is a dupe account or previously banned person just ban this one and I will go back to just reading again :)
