The European Leagues & Competitions Thread V2

When was the last time Mourinho lost 3 games in a row?

And how many times have their "superior side and system" lost compared to our's this season?

Like I said before, how many goals do you want before you admit he's just overhyped?

I don' t think he is overhyped.

His starting tactic was suicidal but he quickly changed it, I think the 3 v. 3 only lasted 20 minutes or so.

It is difficult for Bayer to threaten Barca without Robben and Ribbery

on the other side Messi was brilliant, 2 world class goals.

This was the kind of matches where individual brilliant can change the game.

I remember RM v. Barca when Mou was still in charge. Mou tactic was absolutely spot on.

Then Messi happened

This Lionel Messi is something wonderful, he is an absolute joy to watch and I am going to say that again - I am so proud and lucky to see him play live and do not need to rewatch him like with Pele or Di Stefano.

His second goal against Bayern was a stunning piece of football but I have to admit I loved even more his reaction to Neymar's goal. THAT is some difference between him being a team player and Ronaldo and his arrogant reactions. Messi vs Ronaldo? Not even a debate.

Pep is an outstanding manager. Sure, he has his faults but so does Jose (losing to 10 man PSG anyone). They're still the 2 best in the World.

But he continues to win the Bundesliga.

He just been getting stuck at the semis like it has been happening to Mourinho for the last couple of years.

That is completely meaningless. My mom could win the Bundesliga with that Bayern squad...

Not discrediting Pep, but that is not an achievement. It's just not.

Last night explains why Messi is just on another planet. If it wasn't for him Ronaldo would be everyone's best player, but Messi is just that much different.

To be fair bayern shouldnt have destroyed dortmund. They were an amazing team, easily better than this shit arsenal or shitty. But they decided to destroy them by robbing their players.

Now they dont have an opponent in the league

Thank God for Messi. Cristiano is a historic player, but he lacks the magic of the greats.

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

that performance probably just won him the Ballon d'or.

[kobematabryant 400]

Get in Dnipro!!

[Jase 43,479]

Napoli held by Dnipro and Sevilla thrashed Fiorentina in the Europa League. Good.....

[edetarod 2,155]

tbf that Dnipro goal was miles offisde

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Absolutely. So glad he does it on the biggest stages, when the world is watching!

Letting Jupp go was the worst thing they did IMO. They weren't fully concerned about having the ball for the sake of it, but making the most of it when they had it. They were lethal on the counter.

In addition, their squad has only improved since then, but they have gone backwards along with rivals improving.

IMO he brought too many spanish players in club, regardless of their quality. Germany has loads of their own potential, its what bayern built on since 2008 (plus Robbery), and they were very succesful.

I think Guardiola can thank someone for Bvb not being that great anymore or he might not won a single big title.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Bayern 1-0

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Okay, I take back what I said last week about this Barca side being able to defend!

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

MSN in action again 1-1

[CHOULO19 24,332]

We've all scored that Neymar goal on FIFA before

[Pizy 18,368]

Does Neymar ONLY score tap-ins at Barca? Just about every time I see him score it's either a tap-in set up on a golden platter for him like that goal was or it's a breakaway 1-on-1 where he easily walks past a keeper.
