Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - 'We will not be there.' - Pep Fraudiola

"X team can beat this Real Madrid" has been the narrative for the past decade as breh said.

To me, more than how they look, the big advantage the other teams have this time around is that they are not closing at Bernabeu. That's were the real unreal shyt happens time and time again.

I hear you but sometimes it's actually true. Just two years ago Man City demolished them 4-0 in the second leg.

Madrid aren't as good this year. Midfield issues and chemistry issues(check the body language of Mbappe, Bellingham, Vini)

With that being said they will still beat Arsenal.

I don't have the bracket in front of me but Inter can beat anyone, Bayern keep getting better, PSG play the best football but lack experience.

Inter and Bayern play in the quarters and they are on the other side of the bracket.

 

[MikelArteta]

We cant beat them

Lol

I wish it was, not with this team.

Brotha in footballing ability I agree,but I've seen this movie for the last 10 plus years out of the last 6 they won I would say half of those they looked beatable...u could argue a.madri shoulda beat then in 14,pool in 22, and even Dortmund last year...and let's not talk about the footballing lesson they got from city the last 2 times and yet they have more CLS in the last 15 years than the whole EPL smh

ITS ova until further notice lol

edit: I think you meant than the whole EPL during that time period, not all EPL UCLs

I’ll come back to this post when Arsenal overcome Real Madrid.

 

[hashmander]

I feel bad for Atletico, but I'm glad we don't have to watch Mik-Al Artetani vs Dawuggi Simeharrami

 

[phcitywarrior]

Real look beatable.

We say this every year and somehow come May 31st it’ll be their name on the cup again

Come on breh, you said "I don't know why y'all scared" when it's pretty damn obvious why they are

Sure, Real will get eliminated but it makes sense people wont believe until it finally happens.

I do agree this year it seems even less likely they'll win it than in other seasons but 100% understand why fans (specially from the teams that face them) are about showing any kind of confidence.

The last 2 UCL Real has won they looked like the lesser side in like 6 of the 8 matchups they had

“They don’t play well”
“They are beatable”
“They have midfield and chemistry issues”

Yet they find a way to win.

Win first, ask questions later.

Cholo should go all in on CdR. That’s a very winnable trophy. That loss to Getafe is a big blow in the title race

A bold prediction.....the winner comes from this bracket.....the trend that every final at munich is won by a team that has never won it might continue......and that team is PSG...but the default answer until I see it's Madrid

 

[UnQuantized]

Might be PSG's year, finally got a balanced team and look dangerous everytime they go forward

Probably too young to do it this year imo.

But they got a potential super power squad going forward.
