What?

Madrid, Ajax, Benfica, Liverpool, Inter, Milan and Nottm Forest have already gone back to back.

Some even won it three times in a row :coffee:

They were all in the European cup era, no body has won the champions league in back to back seasons

Actually the European Cup that time was more a Champions League than the current incarnation.

You either suffer from OCD or you're taking the piss. It's the same shit. Those clubs still have those trophies and are still regarded as the winners from the same competition...

He asked about UCL not European cup. There is a difference.

by Red Alert Fri Nov 16, 2012 10:06 am

Were the likes of Madrid, Benfica etc all playing cricket in the European cup in comparison to the Champions League? Rolling Eyes

It's the same game albeit a different name.

by Kick Fri Nov 16, 2012 10:13 am

It may not matter to you but it does to a lot of people.

by fatman123 Fri Nov 16, 2012 10:34 am

dude its the same thing as saying the old english first divison is different from the PL, just like only City, United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Blackburn have won the PL, no team has won back-to-back CLs

by la bestia negra Fri Nov 16, 2012 10:35 am

and no team will ever win back to back CLs until like 10 years or so

Don't worry he only says that because he is a Liverpool fan and they have never won the Premier League Very Happy

I know a Barca "fan" who thinks Barca won the last three CL's in a row before Chelsea last year rofl

Anyway I'd rather win a tough final against a strong team thanks to a wonder goal. It's better when the game itself is memorable.

Fairytale stuff.

A team that's spent over a billion dollars from over the last 8 years who's main ambition was this title is hardly a fairytale no matter how bad the team that won it was.

I would love that, but sadly I think I'd just give up and leave the T.V in disgust at 85 mins, missing it all Sad

I would love our Milan team right now (i.e, garbage) to go up against Barca and humiliate them, but that's just the mood I'm in now.

Great thread though!

I read about it. That's when AC Milan was a big club.

Hearing is not like seeing, there you go.

On hindsight knowing your team will win, it would be better to win an intense goal frenzy or to come back from a big deficit. However, I think in real time most people would agree it's better to watch your team be in control rather than feeling borderline depressed at half time rofl

by baresi Fri Nov 16, 2012 11:40 pm

No one mentioned beating a rival from the same league in the final. 2003 comes to mind,.

You didn't even know what the Premier League was 10 years ago...

It's the same shit. The competition was just renamed for TV rights for extra $. That's all it is.
