This one is likely over. Even if Chelsea somehow scores twice, they'll never keep Messi from scoring even more.
So we're down to eight. No more restrictions, Quarter Finals will be drawn on Friday 1200 CET Liverpool Manchester City Bayern Munich Juventus Roma Barcelona Real Madrid Sevilla Matchups I wanna see: Bayern vs Liverpool City vs Barca or Real
I just want to see Roma against Sevilla. We should all want that. Any of the remaining matchups would be tantalizing. Magesterial. Instead, we'll just see them get stomped by at least one of the eventual finalists.
Liverpool - City CL Final would be nice. Then you guys can stop hating on the best league in the world.
Premier League could still be best in the world and not necessarily have any of the best three to five teams in the world, no? In the Champions League knockout stages, you have to have elite players at every single position. Every. Single. Position. The only team that occasionally gets away with that is Barcelona and that's because they have you know who. United still play relative scrubs or inconsistent players at various positions so uneven results should be expected no matter what Mourinho comes up with. City are real close to complete except on their back line which could be better than we think. Liverpool are three excellent forwards playing with a bunch of players that wouldn't be first team on Barcelona, Madrid, Munich, Juventus, or Manchester City. They're probably the worst of the remaining teams because they ain't scoring once their forwards are neutralized. Looking at the best teams, Barcelona and Munich look like the two best teams. Then it's Madrid and City. Hopefully, the draw sets up that final four.
Strongest teams are Bayern, Barca, Real, City. So I want to see City vs. Barca or Real as well...I want Liverpool, Roma or Sevilla for us...
Draws are in: CL: FC Barcelona - AS Rom FC Sevilla - FC Bayern München Juventus Turin - Real Madrid FC Liverpool - Manchester City EL: RB Leipzig - Olympique Marseille FC Arsenal - ZSKA Moskau Atletico Madrid - Sporting Lazio - Salzburg Pretty nice matchup for Bayern, should comfortably win. The English matchup and Juve-Real (for the Xth time in years) will be quite interesting and close matches, I see Real and City advancing. Barca with a comfortable win vs Roma. EL-wise, Leipzig vs Marseille is 50:50 to me, other matches are quite one-sided affairs (Arsenal, Atletico, Lazio).
Heynckes trashed the Malcom rumor quite hard today, roughly saying he's never seen him play and doesn't believe that there is interest from FC Bayern anymore. Malcom's agents always put him on display and say he's being bought by some club, but no one is taking the bait. Bayern scouts watched him and have the same sentiments. So seems like Bayern scouts watched the guy for quite a bit and think he's overrated. Shoutout to the @Raz breh for doubting BILD's story, seems like they fell for the sh** that Malcoms agents fabricate.
Yup, Raz breh plainly stated that every Bild story, may it be about politics, domestics, celebs or sports, is way overrated.
They still have good sources (especially when it comes to Bayern) and broke a lot of news, so it's always a gamble to know what is legit. The Heynckes comments make it sound like the Malcom agents are intentionally fabricating stuff and leaking it to the media, so BILD probably fell for that.
