Totally Unofficial 2021/22 Champions League Thread (NWT)

not so sure that is true. seemed to be fairly even when I was in Milan a decade or so ago

I'm def splitting hairs in that statement. In reality it's probably very close to 50/50 in Milan.

Oh hmmmm, added layer. I think I only knew about her banging Courtois.

De Bruyne's ex-girlfriend reveals she cheated on him with Courtois

The woman who cheated on Kevin de Bruyne with his Belgium team-mate Thibaut Courtois has revealed that she had the affair after the Wolfsburg midfielder strayed with her former best friend.

reading about it was fascinating. she was flat out...Kevin cheated on me so why shouldn't I ? And Courtois made me dinner..kev never did

Your ability to make everything about ManU is truly next level

former Manchester players coming out HOT in Milan

 

[deacvision7]

Dzeko is a former Manchester City player SO JOKES ON YOU

 

[WindyCityDeac]

dammit. i knew i was taking a chance on that one

 

[OldGouldandBlack]

Whew, Maignan saved their asses there.

 

[Frosty]

It's remarkable how reliant Milan is on Leao. No Leao and they're basically a worse version of Roma but with bigger names.

 

[OldGouldandBlack]

Golazo doing all four Europa/Conference semis. Good, thought they might just stick to Europa.

 

[OldGouldandBlack]

Sevilla is insane. I hope they do it again.

 

[deacvision7]

Booooo

 

[HuskyDeac]

Yeah there is no need for more matches other than a $$ grab. Waters down the competition.

 

[deacvision7]

And it is bullshit to go to 36 teams with uneven schedules. Fuck that noise.
One of the things I like most about football is how they determine Champions in the fairest way possible - everyone plays everyone home and away and most points wins/advances. This is just some bullshit.

just a ridiculous amount of talent in these starting XIs. should be a tasty one

Man City XI: Ederson, Walker, Stones, Dias, Akanji, Rodrigo, Gundogan, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Grealish, Haaland
Real Madrid XI: Courtois, Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Camavinga, Valverde, Kroos, Modric, Rodrygo, Benzema, Vinicius Jr

On the benches too.

really surprised Pep went with Bernardo over Mahrez

 

[deacvision7]

3 fouls committed by Bernardo in the first 9 minutes. Camavinga is seemingly in his head early

 

[deacvision7]

wow. shocked Haaland didn't score there. headed right into Courtois' right hip from point black range. Grealish with an absolute sexy cross in, perfectly weighted
aside from Camavinga on Bernardo... this is all Man City

many Real Madrid players still haven't even touched the ball once yet. that's just wild

 

[deacvision7]

Man City deservingly lead after KDB makes a great slide pass into Bernardo - Camavinga lost him while chasing the ball wide towards John Stones of all players
Real Madrid are going to lose this one by HT unless they make some tactical changes. Playing scared right now

i feel like that's how every Real Madrid match i've watched (admittedly not that many) goes....then Vini Jr does something absurd and it's 3 goals for Real

BREAKING NEWS! Pep is better at managing a football team than me
