Champions League 19/20

Klaus

Good draw for Atalanta, I think. They have everything necessary to smash a hideously overrated PSG. They're literally the only team I'm interested in watching that is still left in the tournament so it would be nice if they stuck around for a while.

QuincyAbeyie

Really, the only team? Are there any other teams that've been knocked out that you'd prefer to see here instead?

Would've been great if Atalanta won, but PSG have Neymar and Mbappe which is enough to beat anyone. What's good for Atalanta is that PSG are proven bottlers in the CL. No matter how much they're hammering their opponents they always seem to find a way to lose the game. Reckon Barcelona/Napoli won't stand a chance against Bayern, who are my favorite to win.

Klaus

I don't like watching most European top teams I guess. I can't take any pleasure in the football unless they're in for a beating. I'd rather fold laundry than sit down and watch City and Chelsea, never mind Barca and Real Madrid.

But yeah, I think Atalanta's attack will prove too much for that hodgepodge defence, and PSG also have the disadvantage of not having played actual games for several months because Ligue 1 never restarted. I suspect Barca are in for a real humiliation against Bayern too so I might just watch that.

QuincyAbeyie

I actually forgot thst Ligue 1 was cancelled. That could end up being very important, yeah.

Claudius

Is that first-tie Royal Rumble style? Manchester City, Real Madrid, Juventus and Lyon. Sounds chaotic.

Personally, I’d like to see an Atletico - Atalanta final. Unlike Klaus, I enjoy watching a lot of the other teams (particularly Bayern), but I am a bit jaded by the monotony of the same super clubs challenging every year on the back of their enormous budgets.

Have to say I’m really looking forward to this international tourney styled CL. Going to be very different.

flobaba

That seemed deliberate from Madrid.

Claudius

Saliba says he wants to be like Varane?
I guess we can look forward to more comical defending

mentalvortex

Absolute howler by Varane.

mentalvortex

Juve trailing as well.

Lyon have taken an early lead via a Depay penalty.

Apparently a very dodgy call by the ref.

Lyon very good so far. Juve will need a miracle to go through now

How’s our future mid?

This is giving me World Cup vibes. Absolutely loving it.

Don't usually enjoy watching other clubs strive but as we are so far behind these guys it's starting not to matter as much anymore. Plus no Liverpool, United or Spurs who I have to worry about winning it. Can just watch the games and enjoy it not really caring much about the outcome.

Yup. I’m just annoyed Uefa didn’t make these double headers. You would think they’d do so for their sponsors who’ve lost so much money.

Silky smooth but Bruno Guimares an absolute boss in midfield

flobaba

Wonderful equalizer Madrid. Nice header Benz

Clrnc

Benzema is ageing like a wine. Great header

Gazza M

Varane has been awful

flobaba

Those water breaks were the worst thing in the world by the way

We must’ve been the only team it really favored.

I’d give up my left nut for that boy. Love his balance and composure on the ball. You need that in the middle of the park.
