It's gonna be Spurs v Liverpool in the final, isn't it?

Oh lordy. Both can lose. Trophy can get lost.. 

[Fernando 6,491]

Yeah I get the feeling Liverpool will blitz Barcelona and kill them from the beginning. 

Barcelona got a weak defense. 

Ajax vs Spurs should be interesting. But I'm going for Ajax. 

So Liverpool vs Ajax in the final more then likely.

i wouldnt discard Barca just yet, the last time they reached a final was in 2015, they have unfinished bussiness in this competition, they have the winning culture and the know how to get it done, and when you have Messi in your team anything is possible. Cheers

They got to a final last year already by playing super football. Pep chockes every year and they play like fucking mercenaries all the time. Nice football yeah, but I dont find any real passion in that team, bar maybe Aguero. 

They made it work with the likes of Wijnaldum, Milner, Henderson. Not that I like those players at all, but Klopp managed to make them work because he created a proper team. All Pep is doing is spending cash to have 2 world class players in each position and when it doesnt work, he spends twice more on new replacement. Klopp could do the same with Wijnaldum, Fabinho or Keita who sucked in the start but he actualy managed them brilliantly and now they are key players. 

I simply prefer Pool style over Pep style. I already was big fan when he managed Bvb (first time I actualy realy wanted another club to win CL beside Chelsea) and now he made Pool play that way if not even better. Their front 3 are a joy to watch, they came as good players, but together they evolved so much its crazy. Pep is plain and simple a choker on the other hand. I already disliked him after they defeated Chelsea in most cheated game ever. And ever since, he prooved he isnt anything truly special. In bayern, he won mickey mouse league, sucked big time in CL and same with City where he spent shitload of cash to dwarf the likes of burnley because he has two starts for each spot in attack. 

Just like a spoiled kid. 

Seriously dont understand whats so special about Pep City. Sure they did follow Pep philosophy well, but he bought the league and in CL where teams actualy try to fight back, he gets destroyed every year. Last year he lost to Pool, this year to Spuds. Tells you enough how strong he actualy is in tough games even against english teams. He scored those PL records because he beaten low table teams. 

Its pretty clear that Pool and even Spuds are better side in competition.

Everything about Psg or City is whats wrong with football nowdays. Obviously money is key, but they are literaly buying all there is. Kudos to Klopp who actualy spends alot on couple players and makes them work to perfection. No backup superstars, no replacing them after a season if they suck. And they are reaping the rewards. 

That said, City plays nice too, tacticaly stupid but still nice. However there is no enjoyment in that team due to reasons mentioned above

[Laylabelle 9,395]

This season has just been one annoyance after another so far. Just hope we can end it somehow on a high.

Son was so stupid to get that yellow

it may come back to knock them out (hopefully)

Btw can we buy him somehow? 

Kane is and always will be spuds loverboy and will play whenever fit. Maybe Son decides to move and what better than moving to club from same city with guaranteed starting #9 role

oh for sure Barca have to be the favourites atm

but other than Manure

3 of the 4 teams I hate the most in the world are riding a magic carpet atm

 

[LAM09 6,811]

Yeah I get the feeling Liverpool will blitz Barcelona and kill them from the beginning. 

The tie reminds me of Bayern in 2012/2013. All hype around Barca and they got it handed to them.

Spurs and Ajax (as well as they may be playing) will be the underdogs in final against either Barca or LIverpool.

This is looking really like WC brackets... Either Liverpool or Barca would be heavy favs against either one of the other two.

Between Pool and Barca, hard to put money on either one... Barca ultimately is a possession side, so it will all depends on whether Pool will be able to pressure them or not. Unbelievable games... can't wait.

[Fernando 6,491]

Anyways that ending I really felt it. 

To score and then get denied. 

Painful.

I gotta say Im glad Im not so anti Pool as many others are.

We are already having second bad season in a row which is bad, but if your super hated rivals also have amazing season on top of that, it has to be even worse. 

I will always appreciate teams that play good football, rivals or not. If they cheat, dive, have a team full of dicks or buy everything out there, thats a different thing then.

[Vesper 29,081]

the truly horrid thing is

Liverpool

Shitty

Manure

Spuds (they will finally spend money in the transfer market)

are all going to improve their teams even more this summer

and we are going to take huge knock(s) and can do nothing about it

I want CL mainly for the extra tens of millions for the market in 2020

next year is going to be a rough ride

Reminds me of WC too when two best teams played in semis already and then the tournament would be won by whoever won that semi final (france, belgium).

I get same feeling now. But Ajax impressed me more than Croatia and unlike Croatia, they eliminated two massive teams already while Cro had easy way.

Nah dont give a shit. 

Remember how Overbro fucked us back then. Would have 3 pens at least nowdays with var.

I actualy smiled alittle when Pep reactions were shown. Karma is a bitch. 

City players didnt have any role in that barca game though, but hey it was their choice to join Peps City.
