Yeah I can see PSG mess it up with no league fotboll before the tournament. Bayern will have a break too and might not find top form again.Quite like the one game rounds format. Probably be a few more shocks
They still need to get through Real who are not going to be easy to beat. they are only 2-1 up. City have nothing to play for in the PL whereas Real do.Yeah I can see PSG mess it up with no league fotboll before the tournament. Bayern will have a break too and might not find top form again.
It should suit Barca and City this, but we have seen them mess up in CL before.
Atalanta might actually go all the way here.
I sadly feel that City will finally win it. Pep is normally better in 1 off games and his sides are great at PK shoutouts.
They can get exposed defensivly though and have not had a great season.

They will lack match fitness compared to teams in England/Spain/Italy, although sadly not enough to give us a hope in Munich i'd imagine.Bayern still in it? Because they look class. They'll win it.
Yeah could be a spectacular tie. I just feel that City will have the luck with them this year. Reverse roles with Liverpool.They still need to get through Real who are not going to be easy to beat. they are only 2-1 up. City have nothing to play for in the PL whereas Real do.
Rumours are going around that there will be a friendly tournament at the end of July in Lyon with Lyon, PSG, Bayern Munich, Leverkusen, Frankfurt & Rangers to get back the match fitness.They will lack match fitness compared to teams in England/Spain/Italy, although sadly not enough to give us a hope in Munich i'd imagine.
Huge chance for Atalanta and what a story it would be after what the people of Bergamo went through during this crisis.
Aren't France banned from hosting sports until September or have things changed?Rumours are going around that there will be a friendly tournament at the end of July in Lyon with Lyon, PSG, Bayern Munich, Leverkusen, Frankfurt & Rangers to get back the match fitness.
I thought that too butAren't France banned from hosting sports until September or have things changed?
If true about that tournament it would help somewhat bridge the gap but it wouldn't be a true substitute for proper competitive action no matter how hard they try to turn it into one.
Why would they lack fitness when they've just had a 2 month break and were the first to get back on the field?They will lack match fitness compared to teams in England/Spain/Italy, although sadly not enough to give us a hope in Munich i'd imagine.

Because they finish at the end of June and by the time the CL comes about they'd have had a month of no competitive action while the Spanish/English/Italian sides will still be sharp due to coming out of their domestic season's straight into the CL.Why would they lack fitness when they've just had a 2 month break and were the first to get back on the field?
I've been watching them. They look fresh and ready to go. Very good at pressing.

Players are fit in physical terms, just won't be totally match fit in a lot of cases. Like in almost every sport, you can have great cardio and strength, etc, but you need match practice in order to be prepared for a full 90 mins match. That's what pre-season friendlies are usually for.Why would they lack fitness when they've just had a 2 month break and were the first to get back on the field?

Supercup is scheduled for 24th SeptemberSo what happens with the supercup and Community shield for that matter this season? Have they removed it or will it take place at some point?
Just so glad the Scousers are out.I was always adamant football was returning a lot sooner than people thought but the return of the CL I surpassing even my expectations.
I thought there would be a struggle to get next season's tournament of the ground let alone finish this one.
No way! So you mean to tell me this virus isn't killing millions and millions and millions of people and people are going to get on with their lives?!UEFA saying they will assess the possibility of fans attending the matches in July. Hopefully there will be able to be some fans attending even if full stadiums are a while off yet.
