Where is Bayern Munich? I would say Bayern have a pretty good chance to win. After they demolished Villarreal and also haven't conceded a goal in 838 minutes. Their first real test will be man city. If they can beat them then Bayern will be, I think, one of the favorites to win the tournament.
Ac Milan have very good attackers. Robinho - Ibra- Pato. but they dont have a good midfield. otherwise they would of had a very good chance. but still Barcelona would be tough to beat.
They are currently 13th in Serie A and have a w-d-l of 2-2-2 and 8:8 scoreline, they have more problems than a mediocre midfield.
bahahaha, look how they have been doing in the league. I think they are like 15th. Though they did beat dortmund in the champions league so even if they get relegated from ligue 1 they could still win the champions league.
It's not the first time in history that a team doing crap in the national league is doing great in the Champions League. Just look last season and Schalke's run to the semis or Liverpool's CL victory in 2005. I sincerely doubt OM will be relegated. They are just too strong and are just having a rough patch in the local league. Regarding the CL: Note they have 6 points already (2 wins out of 2), yet to lose a goal and look set to play in the knock-out phase as group winner. All they need is a win at home against Olympiakos + 3 points against Arsenal and they are through (most likely as group winners). Of course I'm just hoping, not sincerely expecting them to win, but a guy can dream
Its too early to predict relegation but you can predict if they are going to get a CL or Europa league position. Look at Inter... They only have 4 points so far this season after playing 6 games. Very rough start for them. Arsenal had a rough start too but a 4th position is still do-able.
Isn't this off-topic? Anyways Marseille has 9 points after 10 games, but they are only 11 points off the no 3 spot. The Ligue 1 is very condensed at the top (albeit PSG look set top win the league).
How often is there a disjoint between CL winning and Domestic League winning ? Liverpool comes to mind right away.
That's very possible - if Robben will be fit and Ribbery, Gomez and Schweitegger in form in time ... Many did underate this Bayern. They are at least on par with manU and slightly better than both Milan in quality overall
Well, not really. And guess why they are not as good as Man Utd? ( Hint: count all those "ifs" in your first paragraph.)
So when you take out ManU 4 best players it wont make them weaker too? Don´t think so... Hmm could it be you confuse ManU with ManShitty´s depth in quality players? From the way I see it Bayern´s first team is top 3 atm with Real and Barca. If you take the whole squad into account, then ManShitty has the edge over Bayern though. In form and healthy first team: 1.Barca 2.Bayern and Real 4.ManShitty Strength of whole squad: 1.Real 2.Barca and ManShitty 4.Bayern
Nope. My point was that Robben's health, for example, is a bigger "if" than ....well... pretty much anybody else. Also Gomez' form in big matches is also a bigger "if" than most of Man Utd's top players.
