UEFA Champions League Thread

[WhoDaWhat]

It has been largely Bayern though. Bayern won 13 of the last 20 titles. The other teams other than Dortmund are not consistently winning or challenging for tie title.

Yep. No offence to Bundesliga fans but almost everyone agrees that bundesliga hardly has any competition within.

Here you can see from 12-16, in each season bayern had a landslide victory.

Please don't take any wrong understanding from my post. I'm not insulting german football in any way. Germany has mostly dominated England in past encounters and Bayern munich has the capabilty to destroy most premier league teams. They've demonstrated that against Arsenal and I'm pretty certain that they can defeat (not necessarily with that big ratio) other PL teams. Perhaps Man.City or Liverpool if they ever qualify and certainly Man.united if they ever qualify (Predicting this in consideration with the club's recent performances) though I can't deliver any verdict for Chelsea right now.

But let's face the truth, since the PL's inception only six teams have won the title till now.

Bayern has had unprecedented dominance since the Heynckes redemption season. Before that we won twice in six years.

 

[Pogba4Now]

Before that 6 years, you won 7 titles in 10 years.

I guess the biggest separator is that I've only ever seen my club in the Europa League once, whereas all of you pathetic English fans have seen your teams in that sad competition many times. But I suppose you're right in one way: Bayern is basically a permanent version of United in the PL era under Ferguson.

It's obviously easier to qualify for the UCL when you have 1 competitor in the league, or none. At the moment though, I agree that Bayern is better than most EPL teams.

Wow, quite humble of you to admit that.

 

[Pogba4Now]

Bayern has had a great squad the last 3-4 years. I'm not going to lie.

Unless Bayern screw up bad or if SEVERAL German clubs get huge investments, it's going to be an eternity if bayern are ever relegated to the europa league.

It happened recently. The year we brought in Toni and Ribery

07-08???
You won quite comfortably, with a monstrous margin of 10 points. Thats what the stats show...
Plus that's not recent. That's a decade old. Am I quoting the wrong season here?

We played in the UEFA Cup that year.

Oh! so you actually mean the 06-07 season. My bad.

Ribery's first season at Bayern was spent in the Europa League. We lost in the Semis to fucking Zenit. It was coming to terms that my team wasn't as good as it had been when I was a teenager.

Bayern has grown since former club Legends took over. All football teams should be ruled by people that love the club and has football knowledge.

 

[Pogba4Now]

Just like Zidane with real madrid currently

Sure, but that happened in the 80s with Uli Hoeness, not 10 years ago. And I really believe Hoeness and to a lesser extent Rummenigge are special and unique. If Beckenbauer was in charge of the club for years we would be in the same place as 1860.

Mathieu starts and Busi is suspended... We better prepare the #remuntada already

 

[Arnau]

Reported explosion on the Dortmund team bus. Marc Bartra reportedly injured and is on his way to hospital

Wtf

 

[Pogba4Now]

Barcelona is down 3-0. I bet "Lucho" will "change the system" for the next round and Barcelona will go through.
