Nah. Every year the path is the toughest, cos every year you'll have to beat the (other) toughest team to win it.
Well, yeah the bolded part is obvious regardless of what Potter achieves with Chelsea. There should've been a title challenge every year from 2019 onwards. None of this take a year off and go again rubbish they've been doing.
Very weird take.
I think Inter is still overrated here, they looked bad against Bayern, not convincing against Barca and last round and mediocre in league at best this year. Would put them close to Ac Milan. otherwise the odds look reasonable given the brackets. Don'T know if I would put City in front of Bayern, but its all very closeCity are overrated here IMO since they are on the strongest side of the bracket, they've been favorites almost every year.
Napoli are ahead of Bayern and Madrid only due to the bracket too.
Good. City being on the tougher side is what matters.
Yup that’s the priority.
City under Guardiola and Liverpool under Klopp in general for most of the last 5 years, but last season in particular both sides were as good as anything i've ever seen
They weren't even the best versions of City and Liverpool, let alone all time.
Just watching the awkward reaction of Inzaghi, like he had actually win the trophy yesterday, was weird and another good candidate for memes to come. Of course, in their side of the draw there are no world-beaters, so them scraping through is not an otherworldly scenario.
Klopp's Liverpool are basically Revie's Leeds at this point. A couple of major wins but way more second place finishes. The problem for Klopp is that being second a lot is not going to garner you much more than a footnote in the history of a club with Liverpool's success. Revie's bunch on the other hand are the best that Leeds have to offer, so that team is still remembered to some degree.
Klopp has won Liverpool's only top flight league trophy since Sky invented football in 1992. There is no way he's a footnote.
I said what I said
There are no weak teams at this stage, weak teams got knocked out in group stage.
Benfica hardly a good team... :/
Of course you got a better squad but that is not everything. You smashed a version of Milan without some key players. You have an 80 million reserve keeper and they don’t. What matters is that Inter knocked out the undisputed leaders of the Spanish league and Milan just knocked out a solid english side, and never looked like conceding a goal in that tie...
Inter and AC are shit. Even we battered AC and we suck.
It does not help you keeping this posture in your situation: they performed up to their ceiling and everything better possibly coming from now on is overachieving. While you……. (and us, if you like childish retorts)
Real Madrid we already done it so no problem. Semis will be lot tougher.Hardest draw for English teams.
I don't see how Chelsea beats Madrid and City got the hardest opponent possible.
Good luck with that.
As good as peak Barcelona? Come on
Its funny how different perspectives and personal hmm feelings can change the view. It may sound a bit odd, because well my username is PepG and obviously i loved Peps Barca but the team that i admired the most in the last 25 years is.. Del Bosques Real Madrid. True they didnt dominate as much as Barca, they didnt win as much also but i remember clearly how there were moments in the games, the big games i mean when Figo, Zidane and co were absolutely unplayable. They were joy to watch. Real never reached that level in the next years, even though may some argue that Mourinhos Real of 2012 or Zidanes Real are better teams as a whole. So yeah..perspectives..As good as peak Barcelona? Come on
Nor Real. Getting tired of their jammy wins (although the one vs Liverpool in the R16 wasn't).
See i didn't watch them through the lens of a manchester united fan. They weren't as good as peak barcelona(11 or 15?) they were better. Though that's mostly a byproduct of time. In relative terms I'd put them on the same level, along with the best madrid and bayern sides of the last 12 yearsAs good as peak Barcelona? Come on
Well thank you for your wish but we don't need luck to beat real. We have enough to win against them. I am confident chelsea will be in semis we already did it without any luck. So we will see.
Don't know about Man City but Chelsea got the following in the past few years:
Seems you watched them through the lens of a clueless person instead.
He's not wrong.
Nah, i watched them objectively and i know what i'm talking about, unlike you
Not sure if that's even true with the bribery that went on
