Each time when I can't watch PSG playing, my favorite team wins.
Finally done: PSG 2-1 Porto. Happy for this result.

today's games were basically meaningless....all the teams had already qualified....it was just to determine group leaders


tomorrow; chelsae is gonna shit bricks til juve- shakhtar is done...and benfica, celtic, gala and cluj fighting for that 2nd spot to make it...the group leaders are already thru

Was a good match!

Hope we will play Celtic, arsenal or milan and avoid small clubs like benfica (if they qualify) or cluj or even valencia.

1. Allegri needs to go, he's done

2. New goal keeper

The players are not bad actually....perhaps a new striker would be good too

Sorry but Acerebi-Mexes? come on. Its like putting Enayati and KHatibi in our defence....

How was Ibra?
I would like to see Arsenal playing against us. Will be very fast game.
Will be also fun to play against Milan as we have bought many of their players.

He didn't play very well but for once the others did a very good job.
Arsenal, Celtic and milan would be the ideal draw : prestigious clubs but they are very beatable at the moment.

actually there was an all italian final before an all english, and i think if you count the total number of champions league wins, italy has more

Get your facts right

English team have 266 wins overall in CL ... Italians 204
Both countries have 12 CL trophies

i watch all the major 4 leagues...not every game, but i follow them all each week

managers go to england cuz of MONEY

and what year was it that 4 english teams made it to semi ??

I follow a lot of leagues as well but trust me there is a difference when you watch it and follow it.
What money lol you kidding ? Mou and Pep were the highest paid managers ... Sir Alex Ferguson deserves every penny for being at Manchester United for the things he has done.
and how could you walk away from Barca and Madrid they are the biggest stages in football .. its because they don't like the style of football they don't believe in it.
Mourinho even when he was in Chelsea he always said it its my dream job to be the manager of Manchester United ... funny we're talking about this now Sir Alex praised him for being his successor after he leaves and Mourinho is considering to leave in June.

Believe me I love the Serie A , I try to watch most of the games but I don't see how you guys could say that it is better than the EPL. I mean come on be realistic ... I guess it just comes down the preference of style of football

[PouriaAkaBarut]

I know for a fact that this summer is gonna be a huge , lots of mangers are gonna change clubs and we're gonna see some big transfers.

[PouriaAkaBarut]

So I guess no Europa league for City either hahahahhaahhahaah LOL
They could have made it if they would've won today against a reserve Dortmund team

1. barca and real are a league of their own, the confusion always comes from that, people compare la liga by their success when rest of the league is shit and their defenses are shit, thats why messi and ronaldo can score 50+ goals/season where as in serie A, its very rare someone even scores 30....last time was luca toni in 2006 in his prime

2. i dont think u have your facts straight....2003 CL final was juve vs. milan....2008 was chelsea vs. man U...so yes u had all italian final first

3. im not necessarily saying serie A is better, at least at the moment its not...but they are still competitive...look at juve vs. chelsea, udinese vs. liverpool, lazio vs. tottenham...or even last year napoli vs. man city and chelsea
italy will bounce back, they are in a financial slump where as epl has money poured into it + real/barca...so yes money wins
also the quality of the league translates to the national team as well.....england went ultra defensive against Italy in euros and were completely dominated...if it wasnt for their excellent defense and joe hart making what 15 saves (?) that game, they would've been soorakh
yes i know the leagues dont necessarily contain all english players but its the style and quality of football that translates to the national team

Serie A is shit compared to EPL or Bundesliga and Eki knows it too. CL success does not mean dick, people don't realize that UCL is a totally different beast compared to domestic leagues. The format and the schedule ask for different approaches toward it and in-game tactics. You can't judge a league's quality based on how their representatives do in UCL since only the elite teams make it there. The format is mostly knockout so your survival depends on your performance over two games with a two week gap between each match, so it's clearly not comparable to any domestic league and how different clubs from different leagues do in UCL does not say much about the level of competition in their respective leagues.
