24 year old Vinicius Junior now has more goals (28 goals) than best striker ever (according to Cule’s) Luis Suarez (27 goals) in the Champions League in his whole career
21 year old Jude Bellingham now has more assists (12 assists) than best attacking midfielder ever (according to Cule’s) Ronaldinho (11 assists) in the Champions League in his whole career
Going to be hard to reach top 8 but the guys above us have some tough games....if we beat Brest convincingly we'll get very close
Great performance and win. Team can't keep a clean sheet to save their lives . Who knew starting Fede and Asencio would stabilize the righ flank . Good to see Jacobo come on and Arda get minutes alongside Luka at CM as his understudy.
Yeah.. Monaco plays Inter (need Inter) Lille plays Feyenoord (need draw, no loss) Aston Villa plays Celtic (need at least draw) Leverkusen plays Sparta (need Sparta) If we can pound Brest (lol) then we legitimately could be tied and win on goal difference. Not impossible but it's a big ask specifically with Sparta. Had we drawn Lille we would be 8th right now.
Given the amount of games we have, it won't be too bad him missing these games. Will also give him an opportunity to reflect upon all the unnecessary cards he picks up and how he misses out on all the fun as a result.
Wish big teams were playing eachother on the last match day. It'll be predictable victories on the last match day unfortunately
Meh who predicted bayern would get manhandled by Feyenoord? Anything can happen. We showed that when we lost to Lille lol
Would be magnificent if City could miss out on the top 24 but something tells me they'll be will'd to a victory making sure they make the play offs like QSG last season.
Brugge has had a good CL so far. City at home though. Hoping for a shock draw like what Feyenoord did in Manchester.
The Etihad isn’t the fortress it used to be and with all of the plastic supporters, the atmosphere won’t be as intense. The pressure is all on City and I could picture them bottling it on the big occasion.
Lol Sparta got a victory against Salzburg (arguably the worst side in UCL this season), I'd expect Leverkusen to put 5 past them at home. Absolutely no chance, don't even think about it.
Jude Bellingham now has as many #UCL goal contributions as Lionel Messi before turning 22 🤩👏 pic.twitter.com/yyQYwavDfZ— LiveScore (@livescore) January 22, 2025
It’s stats like that that make you pause and appreciate these players even more. They don’t have the nostalgia of the old legends but they’re making their own legacies and will probably surpass some of the greats.
Vini Jr at the UCL season 21/22 13 games 4 goals season 22/23 12 games 7 goals season 23/24 10 games 6 goals season 24/25 06 games 7 goals
Also thought Arda got sucked in way too easy. He didn't need to leave his man. We were well covered there
