    If Barcelona get past their away game at Villarreal next week, I wouldn't be surprised if they're 30/30 points going into the Clásico.

    As long as we win the league trophy, they can be 46/30

    Haaland's outrageous goalscoring numbers speaks for itself. He's 100% in GOAT-tier among strikers.

    Henry was a striker, period. Or shall we retroactively Karim Benzema awinger too? People used to criticize him for overcomitting on the left flank instead of staying centrally on the pitch...

    Aesthetic bias in full effect lmfao. Volume goalscoring with insane efficiency is always more valuable than fancy dribbling skills. Henry was never really a cheat code like Haaland who has been equally brilliant in UCL or internationals goalscoring wise.

    If Haaland becomes the 1st or 2nd player in football history to score 1000 goals, it would just further improve the Norweigan's GOAT case.

    I disagree. The likes of Ferenc Puskas & Gerd Muller are great scorers scorers being in the GOAT convos

    A lot of those players played when football was still halfway competitive.

    Something to consider. The "flexible approach" has teams playing small vs other opponents instead of sticking to their identity. How will you really improve if you always size down to face teams?

    Reminder that Bayern thought Juventus made travel easy on Bayern to make the De Ligt deal smoother meanwhile they were secretly meeting with Kenan Yildiz who they poached away from their youth team during those negotiations.

    He's been fantastic. Not only did Bayern miss out on him, but Germany also completely slept on approaching him for the national team.

    Watched him for Turkey and it was like playing with a man down. Don't know if he plays better for the Club but he was absolutely atrocious for the NT. He probably got in over their other LW due to his superior defensive work

    Bayern winning 9-2. Kompany has them playing like a well-oiled machine.

    Whoever gets their hands on Gyökeres will have themselves an excellent allround striker

    I may have misjudged them. Then again, they can't defend for anyone's life. This will dent their chances in ucl drastically.

    Hes a bit slow for a winger though. Motta played with quicker wingers at Bologna (Ndoye, Orsolini) so given that Vlahovic is not the fastest guy out there, Juventus might look static as they did under Allegri.

    They were poor for a decade and had a short resurgence winning Serie A. Looks to be on downward spiral again. Inter meanwhile going through their best years after Mourinho era.

    They had Tonali bossing the midfield and Brahim creating chances. Kalulu was also a wall in defense. Shame they sold all three.

    Haven't they been in ownership turnover just like Inter have? Feels like the club is looking for an identity after Berlusconi left who's identity was basically good coach, and just buy until it works.

    It's funny how there's suddenly a prototype forming around multiple players. Sometimes it takes one or two and the rest of them follow

    I dislike the new CL format. Of course, I know how to approach the games involving Real Madrid.
    Bt I am confused about whom to root for in the other games. Under the old format, I was very interested in the games in our group. And I was against PSG or Barcelona. Consequently, I also took a keen interest in all of their matches in their group stage.

    Last night,I did not care about any other games. Because under the new format, 24 teams would qualify for the playoff. That is 2/3 of the teams in the CL. It's difficult for me to imagine any of our arch rivals finishing below that threshold. Two seasons ago, Barcelona found themselves in a group with Bayern Munich and Inter Milan. That is 4 tough games out of 6. Right after the draw, many could imagine the possibility of Barcelona dropping to the Europa League. The fourth team in the group was Viktoria Plzen. While Viktoria Plzen eventually lost all their matches, at that point, their potential was unknown. It was conceivable that they might secure a point against any of the top three teams on their home turf. Therefore, the match between Viktoria Plzen and Inter Milan piqued my interest.

    Have you seen Müller's assists etc. - he was no donkey. He was not as aesthetically pleasing and technically great as e.g. Jupp Heynckes - that were Germans big two goalscorers of the 70s - but he was not a moron that just scored goals.


    At the first match days it is like always. You somewhat like when the big guys lose - they just do that very seldom. But it is interesting how they position. And you have more duels from the big guys against each other.

    As their is max. 24 points available with 36 teams in 8 matches - there will be several teams with equal points. So goal difference gets important - for all teams. Every rank is important for the setting of the next rounds, to be one of the first 8 and not to have to go an extra round etc. And money is distributed for each rank after the 8th match. The first then gets additional 9.9 million EUR, each rank less means another 275.000 EUR less.

    Man City - Inter and PSG - Girona should be fun games.

    Sometimes, not often, the French media make me laugh:

    "Kounde may ask for a transfer as Barcelona has implemented a dress code"

    For those unfamiliar with Kounde's fashion tastes, google it. I'm convinced he's color-blind.
