Want I want... Madrid-Roma City-Liverpool bayern-barca Sevilla-juventus What we will get.. Something that will make me mad.
I honestly don't understand the people who always want the "toughest draw". Even if City aren't that proven on the UCL stage, you can't possibly consider them to be easier than Roma and Sevilla? I know that you want to prove a point and be like " Haha,yeah. Fck the overrated City/EPL" but still. I'd rather take the easier route to the semi-final then face City or whoever you want to take down a notch.
I'll take Roma or Sevilla. I'd like City vs Barca, apart from one very tough opponent being eliminate i think that would be a pretty good game to watch.
Give me - Real Madrid - Roma Manchester City - Barcelona Bayern Munich - Liverpool Sevilla - Juventus
English commentators rambling about how Barca defeated Chelsea. And are now the team to beat. Last time I checked, PSG were favored to win it all. And we just bitch slapped them twice over whilst being the historic back to back champs. Talk about English stupidity. No wonder why they suck at World Cups.
We are the most hated club in the world, simple. They all jelly. Every achievment of us is being downplayed.
Madrid - Liverpool: For the profound pleasure of listening to the English pundits after doing them sideways Barca - Bayern: Let them kill each other City - Juve: Let the old lady take in all pep attacks and yet deliver him a single knockout punch in the end Seville - Roma: Let one of them enjoy the run and wait for us in the semis.
Thank you @Eddie I guess an easier route to the SF would be best, but considering La Liga is over for us anyway, I don't think any opponent will be overwhelming, aside from maybe Barca. Playing Barca in the final might give me some real nerves. Anyways, I guess it doesn't matter. We'll get ********ed with a draw and we'll have to deal with it anyways.
Give me Sevilla. They might be the easiest one. But I 100% expect a tough draw. I also don't get the whole "bring on the toughest team" thing. I'd rather play the easiest teams all the way to the trophy then prove something to someone. They don't give out a smaller trophy if you beat Roma and Sevilla on the way.
The way our team has been this season, might be better for us to draw a big team. We havent been showing up to the smaller games so far lol
I think you guys are buying the City hype a bit too much. Heynckes' Bayern is on a different level when compared to Carlo's and I'm kind of confused by you guys rating City over Bayern? They are having an amazing season in the EPL(City) but they aren't proven on the UCL level yet. Defence: Kimmich,Boateng,Hummles & Alaba vs Walker,Stones,Otamendi,Delph. Like come on haahaah. The EPL is a joke for that defence to seem miraculous. Not to mention the bench disparity. City have a great middlefield but Fernandinho is nowhere near Casemiro level. 32 yo David Silva isn't bad but it's a joke when compared to Modric,Kroos,Thiago. City might have an amazing attack but Bayern have the best striker in the world (Lewandowski) . A reborn James plus Muller,Coman,Roben,Ribbery.
Well, in the poll in this thread, Manchester City has 1 vote while Bayern has 0 so........ I say............
looooooool silva a joke? You should watch more games before making such statements. If there is a player that is underrated its Silva and it seems Pep is going for a Gundogan, Silva and KdB midfield so no Fernandinho.
Sick of these anti-british comments. People should watch the Spanish media. Maybe learn Spanish. If you think the English are arrogant or obnoxious holy shit just read and watch the spanish/madrid media. We've already won the CL and Sergio Ramos is the greatest defender of all time. This hate for all things British is clearly a backlash to the popularity and hype of the EPL. So what who cares? Stop playing the victim. Enjoy your life. Stop being a pussy. Jealousy is a killer.
Spanish teams have won the last 4 CL's in a row. The last time an English team won it was in 2012. And before Manchester United won the Europa League last season, Sevilla won it 3 times in a row. Spanish teams have also won the last 4 Uefa Supercups. I really don't see how the Spanish can be jealous of the EPL.
I don't know about that but after having to read your posts these last few months I really wish idiocy was.
You're one of the worst culprits. I can tell you hardly read or watch Spanish media. If you don't like EPL don't watch it and if you don't like the British media then learn a new language. Watch something else.
