4 nil Pool

Diaz with a hat trick

14 wins out of 16 for them..they'll do well this season.

Hopefully we can be back in this comp with the whole funky system next season

Mbappe to Real (not his fault overall) has been a hot mess so far

I warned on their back 4 and their lack of CF and creativity for ages

Kroos has been a massive loss

The arrogance of them thinking (and publically stating so) that needed nothing, no additions, even post Carvajal out for the year, is staggering

disappointing to see King Carlo finally falling into that trap

the minute he said Mendy was the best LB in the world, and they need no CBs or FBs (or naything else TBH) I knew he was now shifting to gaslighting mode

AC Milan has been so erratic in Serie A but they just bullied Real

When the CL change was announced, people said, "If it ain't broke," but I have to admit, it's been a breath of new air thus far. It implies that every game counts, and you don't have to worry about aggregate ties ending 10+.

If anyone watched the two games they won, you'd know they were lucky to have no lost them as well.

Fonseca might give Leao a few more starts. He's a promising player. 😄

Real Madrid troubles are older than sin itself.

the technical term is too much of a good thing.

How was it not broke? Groups were pretty much pointless, one could 95% predict which two teams will surpass, very few surprise. New system is not perfect, but definetly shake things up perfectly.

 

However, old truth will stick by: you don't win the CL in the autumn. Real Madrid seems poor now, but they are still very likely to go through, and February is long away. You have to peak when important games come, and Real Madrid is definetly a team who are able to manage timing of top form.

thats what happens when you have 2 LW's who are automatic starters every game and no balance in midfield.

they only won the UCL last season because they beat Bayern by a marginal VAR goal and then Dortmund collapsed in the final when it mattered most. 

If they win it this season, it will just prove how poor the rest of the European teams are.
