I want Liverpool plus Shakhtar and Rangers if they make it.


I'd like to see Milan against Ajax, Real Madrid/Barcelona and Bayern :D

I feel we’ll get PSG in the group stage somehow

If we didn't win the Scudetto we would have been in Pot 3 anyway, so Pot 2 being stacked is irrelevant. It is annoying how Pot 1 is uncharacteristically weak, but with our luck we would have drawn either Manchester City or Bayern Munich.

It's indeed super terrible that Lille is in pot 1. They won the title but they are probably going to dismantle their team by selling their stars to England or something. They are in dire financial situation. Their coach, after winning the title, will sign for fucking OSG Nice. :D And that team will be in pot 1. Imagine Milan picking that one from pot 4.

Don't need to imagine, it's already bound to happen.

No Mancity please. We will probably touch the ball 5 times in that entire match.

What you guys think gonna happen? I'm gonna say it's gonna be 2-0 for City, Aguero scoring the second goal, ending his CL curse

I don't want either to win.

Chelsea winning means they get a 2nd CL, one less than us and 1 short of becoming a "top" European team. Which I suppose they deserve somehow, as they've been consistently one of the best teams in Europe in the last 25 years. Yes, 25.

On the other hand, City winning grants another CL trophy to a nouveau-riche club, adds another English club with this title and makes everyone jizz over some of their shitty players. But it's going to be nice for Aguero, De Bruyne and a couple of others to win this.

I don't know, either one winning will suck. I don't think I'll bother watching anyway.

I certainly prefer Chelsea winning over City. I really can't stand Guardiola. It would also be good for Inter regarding CL draw so i will root for them. It would also be cool watching a German coach winning CL for a third season in a row.

The first champions league final I literally have zero interest in. Neither team interests me. Probably won't even watch. I'm more interested in the europa league final.

I like any CL final which doesn't have Madrid, Barcelona, RuBentus or Milan.

You guys know damn well we will get a group of death, even though we're in pot 1.. Probably would have been better if we were in Pot 2.

Pot 1: Chelsea (if they win CL) or Zenit St. Petersburg, Villarreal or Manchester United, Atletico Madrid, Manchester City, Inter, Bayern Munich, Lille, Sporting CP.

Pot 2: Real Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus, PSG, Manchester United (if they don't win the Europa League), Liverpool, Sevilla, Chelsea (if they don't win the Champions League).

Pot 3: Borussia Dortmund, Porto*, Ajax, Shakhtar Donetsk, RB Leipzig, RB Salzburg, Benfica, Atalanta.

If we're being honest, the only teams to fear in Pot 1 are Bayern and City, the rest are crap and that includes us in CL where Conte and the boys shit their pants every time.

It would be a crime to see Chelsea's name as 2x CL winners, especially when both times they were kind of lucky and shit (if they pull it off again, which I think they will). I don't mind seeing City win it, they've dominated PL for years, have a really strong team and some likeable players.

You had interest in the Liverpool vs Tottenham one? I was at a café in Paris sitting outside, with my back to the screen which was at the other end. Didn't even see highlights till 1.5 years later
by accident :lol:

I know. I was interested in the way that Liverpool played and spurs had an epic game to reach the final so I thought it would be exciting but it was the worst final of the last 20 years.
I've watched some big games in EPL this year and they've been shocking. I watched Chelsea vs City in the fa Cup a few weeks back and it was one of the worst games I've watched in years. So no thanks. Plus, City are a horrendous club, don't want to see them winning

The only major reason I'd like City to win it is because Manchester United fans will be bitter as fuck :D

With the Spurs - Liverpool final... the early penalty def. didn't help. All the momentum was snatched from Spurs who were destined to fail anyway :lol:

I definitely prefer Chelsea winning it, I prefer a lot of their players and Tuchel is a good coach. Not saying Pep isn't, I just don't want him to have another CL or for City to finally gain theirs. I say the longer City and PSG go without winning their first CL the better for the sport.

Lille is not selling their players. You guys are making too much fuss over Lille being in Pot 1. They deserve to be there.

Their manager is about to join a mid-table (albeit rich) French side over this. I think it's serious.

UEFA have scrapped the away goals rule for future competition.

Poor decision imo.
