isnt it obvious

Back then it was mainly Milan, Chelsea, united, liverpool, barca, and Madrid 6 teams

Now you have City, PSG, Juventus, Bayern, Chelsea, liverpool, Madrid, barca, Atletico Madrid 9 teams

And I haven't added the underdogs

you clearly did not watch TV then like Ibime said, there were more Lyons and FC Portos then, if not Ballack wouldn't be a star in Germany outside Bayern

popizaino:


I think ibi.me has said it all but let me try again by concentrating on the top four in epl alone.The quality of football has reduced and that has always been my saying and If pep Guardiola's barca,is easily taunted as the greatest club team ever,then think about the team that competed favourably with them in that period. You need more than Havertz to beat the fourth best team back then. Back then if epl teams doesn't knock themselves out it is team with special players who goes on to win to the world best players that knock out epl teams. We only bow to teams with ronaldo or messi's talent not Havertz. The present UCL final match will be likened to a quarter final,evidence is how harvetz was set free to beat the keeper. I mean imagine the hectares of space he had to decide the game? U don see that kind chance for finals before? Lose game ! Now if we go for players for players,forget the hype and the money used to buy this new generation of players,they will not come close to those old players in quality. Just one pass from Fabregas to Walcott to van Persie will unsettle this man city joke of defense. Torres of liverpool will laugh before he will score this city defence. Omg! Who wan hold Lampard for this city midfield talk more of holding Drogba in the defense How will defense cope with the attack of Ronaldo,Rooney Tevez?
There was a period when you beat Chelsea or any epl top four team you automatically win the UCL,now look at this sequence with this exceptional players.


06 Ronaldinho's barca beat Chelsea and arsenal to win the UCL

07 Kaka's milan will have to beat man united and liverpool who have beaten Chelsea win the UCL .

08 Ronaldo man United beat Chelsea who have beaten liverpool to win the UCL

2009 messi Barcelona beat Manchester United and Chelsea to win the UCL.

2010 Diego milito,Schneider's will have to beat Chelsea to win the UCL.

I used UCL matches just so you know the kind of competition in the league .

The bold is actually nonsense.

The way people think


And we wonder why Nigeria is like that

raumdeuter:


Just like Chelsea failed to win it before 2012

Before 2012??

Before what should we add for ManCity and PSG?

Capaldi:

I don't understand, will Man City and United play against each other for the entire 38 league matches?

lmao, almost did not see this

Do you know that aside Madrid, no team won Ucl twice from 2000 to 2010?

Let’s talk about from 2011 Ucl winners till now.

BlueAngel444:

Yes na. Look at his post, In his brain United and City will be playing each other for 38matches straight.

popizaino:


So man city will beat a fergie man United with Ronaldo Rooney tevez to the league.

Italy is probably the most 'slept on' team in this tournament. Their form has been really superb. No loss in three years/27 games, so I heard.

May not have a player that stands out as the best in any position, but they're a compact unit.

Meanwhile Jorginho starts for the Azzurri.

Emerson on the bench.

Goodluck to J5.

that's where the luck I mentioned comes in

Big teams are drawn together and they cancel each other out

Compared to before that they dominated all the groups and avoided each other till the semifinals

He's the first name on the Teamsheet in that midfield.

Ahead of Locatelli, Barella, and even Veratti

Can you explain why he and Emerson were not included in the first squad list?

Maybe I’m missing a point here, please which Ucl winner won by luck from 2000 till 2010.

I’m a little bit confused here. I mean an underserved team that won Ucl by luck.

Branzy:

My bad, forgot they did in 2006.

Barcelona and Madrid won twice from 2000 to 2010

Barcelona, Madrid, Bayern and Chelsea won twice from 2011 till now.

To me UCl was competitive then.

Jorginho was injured during the initial list

I said it. This guy just types anything in his brain without researching.
Add Milan to your list. They beat Juve in 2003 nd Liverpool 2007

For the Euros.
Turkey came to play a negative football. That shows a low self-esteem on their part. If they had showed some courage they for don score Italy since.

I don't see Italy getting past the quarter finals. If they even get to QF it will be a surprise to me. They no dey play anything IMO

I don't see Italy getting past the quarter finals tho. They no dey play anything IMO

France started this way in 2006 world cup.
First match may not really be a determinant .

If I had done research, I wouldn’t have made mistake, i typed that based on all I could remember watching.

You don use Wikipedia now, come dey form ancient of days.

OJURONGBE1:


France started this way in 2010 world cup.
First match may not really be a determinant .

Did they reach the Semis in 2010?? Or did you mean 2018 Worldcup. Which is totally incorrect. France were a force in the 2018 and had talents all round. This Italy team is nowhere near that
