Seeding purposes like in tennis. And like in tennis there's also a YEARLY number.. which we are talking about now. Nobody would ever say "this tennis player won 3 out of 4 slams but let's wait 5 years to say whether they are legit or not.."
You quoted me about Leverkusen. I didn't say they were great over 5 years and should be seeded in a certain position. I said they have a case for this year only as being the top team because of what they've proven SO FAR on the pitch...
You from England?

U right about the cup competition, i would say 70% of the teams that win the champions are not the best the team from top to bottom, shyt they are not even the best team on the final lol . i can recall like 10 finals that the worse team on paper wonisolated cup competitions are not a sign of "who is best". because chance plays a bigger role.
doesn't every football fan know this?
even eufa coefficients are based on what .. 5 years of datanot one. it's right there in front of your eyes e-grow.
beating a bad bayern and "dortmund" in the league

If that's how you feel then why watch? Also, nobody really agrees with this considering the clubs all go 100% all out in UCL competition... can't say the same for the EFL Cup which teams obviously half ass and yet some in here celebrate that like they won the whole league

Am just going of memory,most UCL finals I remember vividly alot of those teams were not the best. Few modern examples, Chelsea in 2012,Liverpool in 05,Madrid in 14 and 22. Mou's porto was not the best team in Europe in 03 04..that was probably Milan or juve maybe madrid.. shyt that 97 Madrid team was not better than juve either and they won. Probably even dortmund wasn't better than juve in 96 I think lolIf that's how you feel then why watch? Also, nobody really agrees with this considering the clubs all go 100% all out in UCL competition... can't say the same for the EFL Cup which teams obviously half ass and yet some in here celebrate that like they won the whole league
I could keep going...same with domestic cups,man united or Chelsea may win it and nobody sane enough will say those two are near the best in england

No, it's not the same. At all. Not even a little bit. Clubs half ass domestic cups all the time because they have priorities and the main objective is to win the league and the UCL.
You and @null are trying to eliminate UCL from what it really means.... The final will be one of the most watched sporting events of the entire year... it always is... and it's played 1000% serious..

Late as fukk but watching Carletto park the bus without a shame in the world and basically just hoping for the best to get rid of Pep's bytch ass was priceless 
Very similar to Mou's Inter at Camp Nou more than a decade ago
Bellingham continues to be
the kid better wake the fukk up. This is Madrid you playing for
Like @Liu Kang said, it was hilarious to see KDB, Rodri and Bernardo refuse to shoot from outside the box when they had plenty of good looks AND those were the things that gave them the tie at Bernabéu this AND last year
I don't think any of the 4 remaining teams is scary. Anyone could win the whole thing. But the fact Madrid is once again un semis without a proper 9/goal scorer, nor their starting GK and CB is
Carletto da gawd

You're asking me about shyt that has nothing to do with my original comment.
I am discussing the 2023-24 campaign only. That was obvious from my first post on the topic. You're trying to change the subject.
