Too bad both team bottled it last season..
You stole the words out of my mouth. TBF, both of these teams barely missed UCL qualification last season so the quality is there.
EL often has a couple nice match ups in the group stage.
Not really

AFCON 2022 Golden boot incoming
Naija better not mess around during this AFCON
Nothing less than our 4th title will suffice. Then we gotta talk WC qualification and WC finals placement (we gotta shoot for at least SFs).

I've been a big Rohr defender but it's put up or shut up time, nothing less than Gold at the AFCON is gonna be acceptable
There's no reason this team with another year's experience under their belt shouldn't do some damage at the WC, time to win that first knockout game before it expands to 48 at the bare minimum but I see no reason we can't do better than that and that should be the aim.

Olesexuals expect us to wait 2 more years because it took Fergie and Klopp a few years.
Legit think if he leaves or wins a League or UCL (
Wishful thinking. It's about the match day fans and they a fully back Ole. United only sacked Mourinho when the match day fans turned on him (and when he basically was asking to buy a whole new team)
Lose by a late goal with 10 men and everyone loses their shyt
Meanwhile City are at their height. Couldn't be more successful other than CL success and their manager is begging fans to come to games

Guardiola's fans plea 'disappointing'
A leading Manchester City supporters group says manager Pep Guardiola's call for more fans to attend their Premier League game with Southampton is "disappointing and uncalled for".
After Wednesday's Champions League win over RB Leipzig, Guardiola said he "would like more people" on Saturday.
Kevin Parker, general secretary of City's official supporters' club, said the comments were "frustrating".
"It's not factual, our attendances are generally excellent," he added.
"He [Guardiola] doesn't understand the difficulties that some people might have getting to a game on a Wednesday evening at 8pm."
Attendances for City's Champions League games at home have tended to be lower than those for Premier League games.
The Etihad Stadium capacity is about 55,000 and there was a crowd of 38,062 against RB Leipzig, with the away section virtually empty.
City averaged 54,219 during the 2019-20 Premier League season and more than 51,000 attended their first two league games at home this term.
"It does also play into the hands of supporters from other teams who want to take every opportunity to have a go at City for what they think are the poor attendances," Parker said.
"People refer to the Etihad as the 'Emptyhad'. It's a little bit of fun by the opposition supporters but there's no justification for it.
"He [Guardiola] is absolutely the best coach in the world but, in the nicest possible way, I think maybe he should stick to that."

i don't get how some can claim that EPL is anything more than 5-6 deep.. what are we watching? Midtable EPL teams are not giving top teams from top leagues any problems... where's the evidence of that..
it's perfectly fine to say the EPL is the best league without going overboard..
