ehehehe.Inter fans would rather Juve won another scudetto than Roma.
NO.

You missed my pointPorto side that knocked United out had the rub of the green and then went on to win the competition. This current Porto are unlikely to beat whoever they play should they progress to the last 8.
Ignore me, I'm pissedehehehe.
NO.
If you watched this tie, this was far from a scrap. Porto were really good over both legs.Scrapping past Porto in a penalty shootout and yet Arsenal fans will tell you they can win this competition.
Everyone can wait as that Arsenal side are unlikely to progress much further.Man what a shame Porto couldn't finish it off in the penalties. Would've been a perfect night of a Portuguese team going to the quarters + Arsenal going out. Everyone likes seeing Arsenal going out of a competition.
We could beat Dortmund/PSV, PSG or Inter. The rest would be a lot harder though.Everyone can wait as that Arsenal side are unlikely to progress much further.
You won't get close to beating any of those teams with a repeat of the performance over two legs against Porto.We could beat Dortmund/PSV, PSG or Inter. The rest would be a lot harder though.
There aren't many teams left in the competition that plays like Porto, maybe apart from Atlético Madrid.You won't get close to beating any of those teams with a repeat of the performance over two legs against Porto.
What? No. NO. Italian fans would rather juventus go bankrupt and disappear than win the audi cup. Are you insane?!?!?!?Italian fans feel similarly about any other team but Juve. Inter fans would rather Juve won another scudetto than Roma
Think you could beat anyone but Inter, actuallyWe could beat Dortmund/PSV, PSG or Inter. The rest would be a lot harder though.
What, no love for Arsenal-Bayern? I'm hurtInter or Real would be a hell of a tie. Just hope it's not City. Unbelievably tedious.
Tbf, that was rather very unfortunate. Where your declining teams had to go against their very best for years. Whereas now it looks like the other way around.Revenge would be nice, and there's the Kane factor! But... Sorry, I feel like I've watched us get battered by Barcelona and Bayern enough times. PTSD from the later Wenger years.
We struggle against scrappy teams, Newcastle, Brentford,Porto are examples this season. Hope we get ball playing opponent next time. Knowing our luck it will be mostly Atletico Madrid.You won't get close to beating any of those teams with a repeat of the performance over two legs against Porto.
Really? Despite more spots in total, they removed a spot from 7th placed country? Didn't they say that smaller countries would benefit from the change as well?We now have to keep hoping we can catch Benfica in the 2nd place otherwise we won't be in the Champions League next year despite our good performance (again) in this competition - 3rd place in Portugal doesn't give access anymore.
I do get that point. But i fear citys cheating will be brushes under the carpet and as time passes, things will start to count. I cant overstate how much i think theyve ruined english football and if im being consistent, then I should be in favour of a sporting achievement (Arsenal or liverpool win) however unsavoury. Let any arsenal or liverpool success be something we have to aim to achieve, we might not like it, but its at least sport.Italian fans feel similarly about any other team but Juve. Inter fans would rather Juve won another scudetto than Roma.
City winning doesn't even really count - Arsenal winnign another before us does
They didn't remove a spot, we simply fell to 7th place in the UEFA ranking (we were 6th before).Really? Despite more spots in total, they removed a spot from 7th placed country? Didn't they say that smaller countries would benefit from the change as well?
Madrid look tired right now and are not firing when Vinicius and Bellingham are absent or having a quiet night. Better for you to face them now than lets say May when Militao and Courtois are back. And it'd be better for you to have the underdog mantle coming into the game.We struggle against scrappy teams, Newcastle, Brentford,Porto are examples this season.

City, Madrid and Inter to an extent are the teams to avoid. Other teams should be even match for Gunners.
I think you just needed one quality winger to get the draw yesterday, or a world-class fullback.We did what we could, we don't have players to get further.
I can't think of anyone other than Bonucci I've seen have even a single game at CB passing the ball that well. Pique was great but not this level.My first time watching Pau Cubarsi tonight, that kid is unbelievable. 17yo and playing centre half in champions league knock out game, spraying passes around the place and defending really well.
I thought Kounde dominated him.I thought Kvara was good especially with flicks and team play down the left of attack
I think Arsenal were disappointing because:We did what we could, we don't have players to get further.
We have probably the worst squad of the last 20 years and still managed to discuss the tie in the knockout stages with a team that is 1 order of magnitude richer than us.
This was again due to Conceição - the good and the bad. He is good tactically and makes teams cohese and that have a good plan but he has problems with creative players so he ends up filling the squad/team with sparkless workhorses.
Arsenal was very disappointing, Arteta never managed to find a way to get past us and was bailed out by the quality of his players. If we had 1 or 2 good players in the attack Arsenal would have had no chance.
Saka was very disappointing as well. Wendell is bad defensively and had basically no issues with him.
I don't know what is happening in the Premier League but I guess if teams had any kind of tactics this Arsenal wouldn't be 1st place at all.
We are 3rd place in the portuguese league, 6 points behind a terrible Benfica in 2nd place. We are not a good team and this Arsenal really struggles with us, this speaks more of them than of us.
We now have to keep hoping we can catch Benfica in the 2nd place otherwise we won't be in the Champions League next year despite our good performance (again) in this competition - 3rd place in Portugal doesn't give access anymore.
You really believe that?Everyone can wait as that Arsenal side are unlikely to progress much further.
This year in particular there's a lot of crap teams. Also City are better than all the other teams. Before you had Real, Juve, PSG, Bayern on a similar level which made for exciting ties, now all the others are weaker than City which makes it boring when you now they're inevitably going to be in the final.Am I the only one that has become bored of champions league outside of United (or your supported club) games in it, it's losing it's excitement and becoming too predictable, I forgot it was back on last week and this week
It’s really annoying that whenever this happens it’s coincided with us being shit or in transition. Whenever we’ve won the CL we’ve had to be the best team in Europe, and beat some damn good sides along the way. We’ve never just picked one up because everyone else dropped the ball.This year in particular there's a lot of crap teams. Also City are better than all the other teams.

You are conditioned to believe Arsenal, who are currently ahead of City in the PL and are outperforming them by any metric, can't compete with them. That Real Madrid and Barcelona and Bayern and Inter/Atletico can't compete.This year in particular there's a lot of crap teams. Also City are better than all the other teams.

I agree and I'd suggest that the Liverpool match should give some significant encouragement to some of these other sides.You are conditioned to believe Arsenal, who are currently ahead of City in the PL and are outperforming them by any metric, can't compete with them.

Here's the thing: back when you had Madrid, Juve, PSG and Bayern, it was really just Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern, the others were the Arsenal and Inter and Bayern of this season - until they beat one of those 3...
We are quite a few years off challenging really and will need to get the correct manager after Xavi but the youngsters look very bright. Of the under 20 y.o players in world football currently, Yamal* and Mainoo really stand out as footballers that just have 'it' with great decision making beyond their years.Would like Barca to win it this year. They’ve got some really exciting young players. Enjoyed watching them… reminds me of us and the way we bring through youth players.
