You can take Kane out of Spurs, but actually you can't, he brings Spurs with him to his new club

If we can take just a 1-0 loss and reset in Munich

Whoever won the game
Tuchel not doing well at Bayern thus far. I am quite surprised as I rate him

Good on Lazio. Good to see an upset. Hope they go through. Sick of all the favourites winning.

Tuchel still riding those 6 months at Chelsea.

I don't know how Bayern are favorites for this competition. Tuchel appointment has been so mediocre for them.

Italian football has really done well in Europe last couple of years, can even include winning the Euro's in that

Don’t rate Musiala like most do here. The guy is so selfish just doesn’t pass the ball and loses it time and time again with a bit of good play here and there. Rinse and repeat.

Whoever I bet on
Where is that poster who keeps repeating that Bayern are actually doing well and only seem crap because of Leverkusen's great season?

I don’t rate Tuchel as a manager at all. Although he won the CL with Chelsea

NEVERRRRRR
I'll go support Dortmund should the club be so insane to bring that guy in.
Other clubs have been insane to do so. He’s eyeing your club up. One of the only big leagues he’s not managed in yet.

Tuchel needs to be gone, but the answer is not, has not been, and never will be Mourinho.

I don't know how many times you watched him but Musiala is everything but selfish. His whole game is based on eliminating his opponent on his first few touches, releasing the ball and sprinting into space.
Is he wasteful : yes.
Does he tend to disappear from games : yes.
But he isn't selfish.

Granted I haven’t watched every Bayern match but I have watched them plenty of times and funnily enough whenever I watch him I find him selfish. Yes he dribbles past 2-3 players to break away but then in the next phase he just won’t pass many a times like in today’s match in the second half. That’s just one thing though, I just don’t rate him that highly overall.

How did Sociedad play? Do they have a good chance in the next game?
High intensity first half, mostly dominant without being highly dangerous. Got scored on through a random set piece second half and had a lot more issues having shots on goal.

Good showing overall, final result is a bit harsh.

From what I’ve seen of him; his first instinct is to always start dribbling. Reminds me a bit of Isco in that regard. Problem is he also dribbles himself into trouble over and over, despite there being better options. I think he needs a manager who can help him develop those aspects of his game.

Toothless up front, then again iirc they have problems scoring for some time now. Poor defending lead to the goals. They just missing quality at this level, didn’t help that the likes of Kubo seemed overwhelmed or something. Bad game from him and everyone up front really.

PSG has been mediocre for the entire tournament and probably should’ve been eliminated in the group stages. Other than Mbappe it is a very average team.

Is it just me or has the Champions league lost a lot of the charm it once had? with the expanded format next year won't improve things and seeing soulless oil rich clubs in the latter stages isn't something to inspire generations.
