Champions League : Favorites besides Spanish gaints?

Is Eki really complaining about a rule that has been there forever? Come on man you are better than this, its not like the rule only applies against Italian teams

again u blow things out of proportion. Im just saying it seems like its not fair, i wasnt complaining. Napoli already did great with what they have...compared to stacked english teams with so much money.

Napoli had a nice little run, but we get this kinda runs by a random club every year.

i think we'll see this in the semis



bayern vs. real

chelsea vs. barca


final : barca vs. real (mourinho will order ramos to break messi's legs and barca will win 1-0 at the end with a iniesta goal)

well ya ive been saying that for the longest...italian teams dont care about EL so they usually play their B teams, they rather focus on the league.

i really doubt udinese played their 2nd team and if, thats IF ALL italian teams dont take this tourney seriously (which i doubt), then its a price the italians are paying for not taking it seriously

yes they are paying the price and thats their mistake. The thing is there is no money in it and all these teams have had financial problems so all they care about is staying in the league and make EL to make a few bucks and then concentrate on the league. Udinese for ex. hardly has any players...they really are a surprise since last year and all due to di natale who has been top scorer for 3 years in a row. All their players are unknown...and they had alexis sanchez that they sold to barca...and inler who went to napoli. Teams like roma, lazio, palermo want to compete in serie A and get a top spot so they dont risk EL...thats what happens when u got a competitive league like serie A....every week the games are important. Its not like EPL and LA liga where u know the league winners after 6 weeks of the season starts.

The biggest European rivalry for Real Madrid is Bayern without a doubt. Chelsea X Benefica will be 50/50. Milan vs Barca is the biggest occasion in this round.

Chelsea v Barca in the semis could happen again damnnnn
Will be a very tough test for Barca, considering Chelsea players would give all because of what happened in 2009. But Barca still would have too much quality in midfield they will dominate Chelsea and win.
For RealM they get the fkn easiest path to final! CSKA, APoel, Bayern...for Barca it would be Leverkuzen, Milan, Chelsea.

This CL is boring...since the good teams didnt make it and especially juve not being there for 2 years or so

besides milan-barca....who the hell wants to watch the other games? unless you're a fan

[PouriaAkaBarut]

I don't care for it to be boring or not I would just not want to an El clasico for a CL final !

[Masoud_A]

Refs butt raped Milan, I don't like Milan at all but this is getting ludicrous.

lol at some of the comments in this thread!

[EKBATAN]

im not a hater like masoud and some others who dont give credit where its due....but i gotta say bayern deserves it this year. Chelsea surely doesnt deserve it the way theyve been all season. Although bayern didnt really pass big teams in knockout, they did come on top in group of death. They have a wealth of talent and play good enough. So its more of a fair result if bayern wins the final over the lucky chelsea. If the good teams didnt get eliminated so early, i highly doubt chelsea would've came so far up.
