I always had a feeling that getting rid of away goals would open up knockout ties. That said, I can’t be bothered to care much about the Champions League anymore.

Seeing the same teams go deep in the competition every year is so tiresome

wonder how will the CL work out next season with that new bs system…. hope it’s for the better but i have my doubts

however i’m not gonna be so negative beforehand, hopefully it will mean more exciting matches but idk part of why i’m still so invested in CL this year is because i’m scared (but also a bit excited too) of what’s coming up next year

this system was a classic, i didn’t really feel like there was any huge need for change especially given how stacked the schedules already are but we’ll see… why change something that always worked well for so long tho…. perhaps it will be a breath of fresh air for the competition tho, who knows

fergie's last year too

The new system just means that there will be fewer heavyweight battles in the early knockout phases.

By going with this American playoff system, the knockouts will be set immediately after the end of the league phase. If Real and City finish #1 and #2, they’ll only meet in the final.

is that confirmed? FM at very least haven't set it up like that.

yeah ik it makes sense on paper/in theory but i’m only just wondering and pondering on how it will all work out in practice…. guess we will have to see before i make any early conclusions

for now it feels to me like it might lose part of its magic with the unpredictable draws but perhaps it will be better for the overall quality in the later stages…. but i mean it probably won’t be that much of a difference maybe i’m just overthinking

Was at that game, it f***ing sucked.

to all the clubs interested in that bum Sancho

Walker has me in stitches for that goal, such a United defender move

Props for this one

masterclass in trying to create chances against a low block team here by city.

I literally dont think our united team can even make 3 passes in a row like this. and then we'd ship a goal on the break every 5 minutes when we inevitably lose the ball.

Real can u do something for me?

At this point Liverpool not winning the PL and City not winning the CL is a good season for me

and spurs missing out on UCL lmao

after all that obsession with 5th, looking like every English team in Europe is s***ting the bed.

Ok I’m not watching this s***

i’ve been shaking in my boots for 60 minutes straight…. it’s not looking very good rn can’t lie

you motherfuckers jinxed it in here smh!

why rodrygo?

because Jude and Vini are better?

dier and de ligt are first choice for Bayern ??? unbelievable would've never better on that being the go-to pairing over Kim Min Jae and Dayot Upamenco. incredible.

Put my bets on in the 70 minute on city at 2.55, I’m chilling

Well Upa is trash so..
Idk what happened to Kim tho ngl
