Seriously though poor Rangers, they don't deserve the same fate as Celtic.

The biggest news is that Barcelona are out of the champions league after spending all their future earnings on players :laugh:

Its particularly funny that de jong wouldnt go to Man U because they didnt have champions league football :hehe:

UEFA Champions League/Europa League 2022/23 Discussion Thread
 

The biggest worry for me being a long time Barca fan is that we now may end up playing Arsenal …. we could be on the end of a couple of defeats but more worryingly they will play us off the park with their uniquely, wonderful football .. something we used to do to everyone else not too long ago

it shows that Barca aren't that corrupt after all


unlike Club Brugge, PSG spending 5 billion every year :idc:

there are no real shocks apart from Brugge instead of Atletico then :suspect: how does Brugge suddenly become this good, shady?



Napoli, Liverpool always going to qualify, Ajax likely 3rd and Rangers chanceless 4th



group of deaths

Bayern Munich and the rising comeback of Inter Milan to top form were Barca's only downfall and there is no shame about that though


Juve's exit more thanks to PSG's worldclass stars and Benfica's super streak being their bad luck


Man City and Dortmund showing they got more quality than Sevilla also no real surprise, can see Sevilla being dark horses for europa league i think, since they got quite some experience there

FC Copenhagen v Borussia Dortmund 1-1 FT

most of the games have nothing resting on them. Man City are thinking of playing youngsters

3 pens in the Real/Celtic game already. Real converted their 2, Celtic missed theirs.

UEFA Champions League 2022-23 Teams advancing to Knockout Stage:

Group A - Napoli, Liverpool
Group B - Porto, FC Brugge
Group C - Bayern Munchen, Inter
Group D - Tottenham, Eintracht Frankfurt
Group E - Chelsea, AC Milan
Group F - Real Madrid, RB Leipzig
Group G - Manchester City, Borussia Dortmund
Group H - Benfica, Paris SG

Tbh in knockout stages anything can happen.

It only takes for Arsenal to have a **** performance and Barcelona are through.

I've got to say though I'm really impressed at Benfica winning a group that had PSG & Juventus in it.

its only at the knock out stage that the competition becomes interesting. Can real madrid repeat what they achieved last year, because that was crazy :laugh:

I think that Real Madrid will always have a chance, they're one of the biggest teams in Football, it'd be like ruling Man Utd out of the Europa League.

Man Utd won't win the europa league, same goes for Barcelona they'll crash out early on, more like thinking they're too good for EL



i'd say based on experience Sevilla, Shakhtar are the ones to beat on paper

as for conference league


hmmm difficult one


West Ham maybe?

Fiorentina maybe?

AS Roma maybe should they end up 3rd in EL, strong chances to defend their title? although they got good chances for 2nd there still too between them and Ludogorets


one of SC Braga or Union Berlin deffo a tough opponent for both knockout phase sides


Sheriff normally should make conference league knockout, better not choke at home against Omonia i beg you


Nantes or Qarabag, i think Nantes has it easier away against Olympiakos rather than Qarabag at home against Freiburg, Qarabag are the azeri top team, bags of experience too in loads of qualifying rounds of CL, EL, Nantes are quite the outsiders, they play decently, and whenever they really want it, they get the job done so never underestimate this squad, also nice to see a club with such history being back onto old form kinda



Group H is very open still

Monaco can still be 1st but also 3rd or even 4th

Ferencvaros already qualified but you'd want to be 1st i reckon, to avoid a earlier inbetween playoff round


and on paper for conference league, both Monaco, Trabzonspor would definitely up the quality of their knockout phase, Red Star also not a team to underestimate though i think

Brilliant goal for the Man U youngster

Every team in Group F finished on 8 points in the Europa League.

That's crazy.:joker:
