They should never have changed the old European cup, champions of every country in Europe, plus the defending champions if they hadn't won their own league. Free draw with no seedings from round one. I'm a Bayern supporter but we finished third, we shouldn't be in it imo, but it is what it is, money rules.
I said after the Atalanta game that we’re trying to get proficient at low xG matches and come out on top. Another one tonight. No real mega chances were created but we efficiently took one chance and forced a mistake from PSG for the second goal. After, complete maturity. Shut that shit down, neutralise the game and leave with three points. Great to see as a fan of a team trying to reach the pinnacle of the sport, not great to see as a paying customer Oh and the PSG fans were incredible. They did not stop all night.
Dortmund 7:1 Celtic Leverkusen 1:0 AC Milan Stuttgart 1:1 Sparta Prague OK, 2 followed the youth league teams. Dortmund with another good performance in the CL, after the 3-0 away win in Belgium. Now even top of the league standings at least for a day (if Bayern don't win with 2 goals difference or Aston Villa don't win 7-0 against Bayern ) Adeyemi was class, with such a performance he'll be in the Nationalmannschaft again soon. Too bad he was out in the 2nd half with an injury. Guirassy also good, seems he found his goal scoring again (2nd best scorer last season in the Bundesliga behind Kane) Today it's Aston Villa vs Bayern and RB Leipzig vs Juventus. Hopefully the Bundesliga clubs stay unbeaten this matchday. All for the Coefficent edit: Let me just say that I still don't like this new modus where you don't have return legs.
Home to club brugge and young boys still. Gotta be a guaranteed 6 points. Pump Villa too and we're through and we get even more money to leave our rivals (Aberdeen) in the dust
Good luck with that. But tbh with a performance like against Borussia nothing is guaranteed for Celtic. Could've even been double digits for Borussia against them.
Better off just ignoring him mate. He’s probably the least knowledgeable person on here when it comes to football.
It really doesn't inspire as a format. No credit to the top sides winning easy games and it looks now like 8th and 9th could be cldecided by goal difference Lots of beatings getting handed out and o ky one or two games of any interest to pick out to watch. There used to at least be a couple of clashes every night in thr old format
Easy win, hopefully no injuries, happy for McAtee get his first goal, nice see Weiss get a good reception from the away end, remember him scoring against Arsenal in LC at start of the money era.
Sore one last night but playing a high defensive line with their attacking pace is asking for trouble.
Bologna at home tonight. A different Italian team, and not away, is nice. No Chiesa, picked up a slight issue which Slot had him as touch and go for the weekend. Jota took a knock at the weekend but has trained, and apart from Harvey Elliott we have everyone else available as of this morning. Potentially 2/3 changes? We by now should assume won't be many. They seem to have brought Lijnders in to coincide with a other reset & push for another group to develop for the red bull model after they didn't win the league & Sturm Graz did the double last season. He has a very young side who looked very naive tbh, played quite well going forward but obvious they had a serious lack of experience (and a few issues in transition I'd seen us encounter over recent times tbh). But it's going to be tough for him to get any time with them if they consistently take bad hammerings.
