Vesper 30,175 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Benfica are currently third in their domestic league and haven't won a European title since 1962. Their former manager Bela Guttman apparently put a curse on the club in the 1960s, insisting they wouldn't win another European title for 100 years. Since then, they've lost eight European finals.

nyikolajevics 2,698 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Dembele is amazing.. 9 assists on 12 league games.. Too bad we didn’t sign him in January when he seemed to be available.. He is injured often though, he would have achieved much more if he wasn’t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their midfield and def are completely clueless. All of Barcas attack are 100% chances. Alaba and Militao completely lost the line. Both of them are shity headers, we can take advantage on this.

I’m not Michael Cox but I believe nobody in their right mind can say that absence of a CF can explain conceding 4 goals in 50 minutes at home field from a team who are 15 points behind you. 4 minutes ago, Stats said: Thanks god Barca are competing in the UEL and not UCL.

He says because of Benzema's absence Ancelotti mixed up the positions of the players so horribly no one knows where he is on the pitch.

They just dumped out PSG, who I know have been below their standards this season but were the pre-tournament favourites. No guarantees we will beat them and they have won the league quite comfortably this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, no one should forget a full strength Madrid side lost at home to the lowest ranked team in the group stages. If we turn up, we should be in a very good position over both legs.

Real were outplayed in 3/4 halves of that PSG tie and PSG weirdly imploded in the last half - didn't look to manage the game, didn't take off their aged forwards who were no longer pressing.
