Arsenal-Madrid and PSG-Juve would be interesting matches. Bayern-Monaco would be fun since it would short circuit italians when they read "Monaco vs Monaco".

But I can't see that happening.

I can

Not at all impressed with Bayern this year, I haven't seen a single match by them, but 2nd in the group and the league? Clearly in decline

Schooling = finishing 2nd to them

by rincon Thu 08 Dec 2016, 19:58

Nah, schooling means beating them home and away. All while we were like 10th in the league and couldn't even beat Udinese.

CL results and league results are completely irrelevant, especially for experienced teams.

There's so many examples of teams doing shite in the league but winning in the CL that it doesn't bare thinking about.

by rincon Thu 08 Dec 2016, 20:05

Yeah, more to my point, regardless of everything we schooled them. I'd like to see some new match ups than the same twice in a row.

Although in this case it wasnt entirely irrelevant as our bad for was mostly due to injuries. We beat them without Dybala, Marchisio, Barzagli playing RB, etc.
