The European Leagues & Competitions Thread V2

[LAM09 6,547]

The Europa League gods will probably have Sevilla win the whole thing again but Inter should really win the final. Have looked solid and dangerous upfront in this mini tournament. 

Sevilla just don't seem to lose EL finals

Same was being said about Unai Emery and we saw to that.

Although that said i hope Sevilla's record carries on for this one, can't bring myself to root for Conte unless he's facing a rival or we need a favour.

Despite Lautaros not brilliant record, he is by far the best young striker out there. Been saying that for ages, yet people rated Icardi over him. Goals are not everything. 

He looked out of pace for a while now since barca rumours, but hopefuly he decided to stay.

Sevilla won the Uefa Cup back to back under Juande Ramos.

Pogba was a fool to leave Juve for Manure

they could have won the CL with him there, I am absolutely convinced of that

I know that is not a popular opinion, but he is such a unique talent when he is motivated

he also would have been better off at RM or Barca

Pogba is highly rated everywhere. He has best midfielder in the world talent. But I don't think he can play at maximum intensity for 90 min for 40-50 games.

Short tourney like WC is a good tournament for him. 6 games and done.

seeing as I am probably going to have picked both the CL and the  EL finals pre knock out (waited for the CL drop-down to call the EL)

I am going to stick with whom I picked as the 2 winners

Bayern over PSG

Inter over Sevilla

 

of course that assumes the CL semis go like that

I am not sure about bayern over psg. Full team psg is very2 good.

When I said back in July how Bayer will play last game of the season against Inter on August 10th you called me out for that 

Saving them for final obvy

You got lucky... 

And sure but there wasn't long left in the game.

I'm yet to see this unique talent that is Paul Pogba. I hear commentators say things like "He is unplayable on his day" problem being is that day is once every five or even ten games.

I'm not fooled, he's a luxury headache.

most goals scored in one season ever for Inter

But I thought Conte plays boring defensive footy.........

Lukaku and Martinez were on a hat-trick and Conte took both off. What a troll. 

He is playing it safe, no reason to take risks when they are his fire power.

I simply dont rate the dude, he has flashes here and there but far far from being world class as most media and united fans would have us believe.

He can be a great player, problem is he just doesnt switch up often. Same with Ozil. Thats the modern mentality for some players. Hopefuly Havertz, RLC and James improve on that.

[NikkiCFC 7,582]

Sarbia, Icardi, Gueye, Navas (injured) dropped after last game.

 

[Milan 17,835]

 The German clubs twitter accounts are something else, and especially Leipzig or Leverkusen

staggering that Verratti is not starting

wtf

is he carrying  knock???

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Herrera and Paredes in midfield for Psg. 

If they lose this, its their own fault for picking such average midfield...

[Special Juan 27,103]

I think we are going to get the full book of PSG theatrics tonight.

[Special Juan 27,103]

Leipzig have once again started well here, I hope they do it just to shove it down the throat of Ferdinand, Lineker and co in the BT studio.

[Vesper 27,310]

1 nil

Marquinhos

great free kick, poor defence
