A001:

As of now, only a clown puts Madrid and underdog in the same sentence as far as UCL is concerned.

Some people might expect their opponents to win a game, that doesn't make Madrid an underdog. Do you even know underdog means? I don't think so.

Teams you can call underdogs in the UCL are Celtic, Shakhtar Donetsk, Club Brugge, and the likes.

Stop saying nonsense.

Trevor012:

You are a slowpoke. Hate city lmao 😂. People that I have been supporting to win the Champions league and league so Haaland will collect his rightful Balon dor. Your useless club has no ground to troll Madrid. You were disgraced in the champions league and then knocked out of Europa by my darling club. You wont even finish top 5 In England so shut up.

FirstbornWds:


Same league that Arsenal was close to winning. Niggur, you should have passed out as cough than just exhibiting nonsense here.


That Ballon d'Or shout.. The earlier you know that Messi fans are still the absolute winner, irrespective of whatever, the better.

Trevor012:

Go and look for you and who is discussing about underdog. The fact here is Madrid were never favourite yesterday. City were the outright favorite yesterday. Nothing concern me and your underdog brouhaha.

Ibime:


Busquet basket is well established. We know about MSN work in 2015 and Spain system which just lifted Barca midfield and added Alonso to it.

Go on your thread and gather up the comments on Busquet, we will not flog a dead horse here.

A001:

Na you dey type nonsense all about. Check my initial post you quoted. I clearly stated Madrid and underdog can't be in the same sentence as far as UCL is concerned. Then, you quoted me without even understanding the post you quoted.

andrew444:


How can a team that was destined to loose by the odds not an underdog?

Make this make sense egbon

A001:

Na you dey type nonsense all about. Check my initial post you quoted. I clearly stated Madrid and underdog can't be in the same sentence as far as UCL is concerned. Then, you quoted me without even understanding the post you quoted.

A001:


In yesterday's game, more people predicted a win for Madrid than they did for Man City.

Madrid, being the biggest club in the tournament, were the favorites to win yesterday.

Jodera:
Odds is just about form and favourites to win.
You can be the least favourite, you can be the main favourites.

TLona1:


Okay so what are you driving at exactly?

A001:

I don't understand o. A whole Madrid for that matter. The defending champions. The only club to win 3 UCL titles in a row twice.

pkasso:
I think A001 is right to a larger extent. The tags 'Favourites" and "underdogs" are not polar opposites, and are not necessarily mutually inclusive. That Team A are favorites in a match doesn't necessarily mean Team B is an underdog.

Real Madrid will never be underdogs in a CL tie. They may not be favorites but they will never be underdogs. Odds are nothing more than probabilities and a good Maths student knows it's not a guarantee of success or a definite outcome.

Inter will definitely be underdogs against City in the final though. Everything points to that.

Jodera:

This debate is still surprising me even since late last year.
How can two big teams play. Both teams have quality players oo, yet some people will still tag one underdog.
Like would anybody be shocked or headlines made if Madrid win Man city??

Na wa!!

Trevor012:

so what are now arguing again? No need for those long epistles when you have already said it. Give us the Mathematics on how people with 5 odds are favourites over the ones with 1.5?

Jodera:
I never said they were favourites. I just said that they aren't underdogs.

Simple!!

Trevor012:

Nobody tagged Madrid an underdog. Una go dey invent things from una head dey argue with.

FirstbornWds:

That Ballon d'Or shout.. The earlier you know that Messi fans are still the absolute winner, irrespective of whatever, the better.

Trevor012:

Nobody called Madrid underdogs. The argument was about City being favourites yesterday not Madrid.

Jodera:
Then you didn't follow the initial discussion then. Try dey follow initial discussions before jumping halfway

A001:




Madrid, being the biggest club in the tournament, were the favorites to win yesterday.

Jodera:
Check Gre.tihex post.

Even Andrew agreed with the underdog tag

Greatihex:
No dey cap, Oga. When Liverpool eliminated man city in the UCL that year, Liverpool were just having a resurgence after being away from the champions league for many years. Heck, they even played in Europa the season prior. Man city were clearly everyone's favourite to progress. Stop those nonsense talk of how many champions league person get. Inter has 3 ucl and man city has none, so by your logic Inter is the favourite in this final?

Last season also, City were most people's favourite to reach the final, but Madrid beat them. No dey reason like this abeg.

Trevor012:

It's as bright as the sun.

A001:
Pep is a genius. No surprises in Man City winning the crucial tie yesterday. I expected them to beat Madrid.

That first leg result was crucial.

Someone called Man City a bigger club than Chelsea. In what universe is Man City bigger than us? Based on what achievements?

Also, another person listed Madrid and Liverpool as underdogs against City. In what planet are Madrid with 14 CL titles and Liverpool with 6 CL titles underdogs?

Lols, what are underdog and Madrid doing in the same sentence as far as UCL is concerned?

As far as European football is concerned, Man City never achieve anything. But I expect them to win their first CL title this season against Inter.

Leyqute:


Excelling in Pep's DM position doesn't mean that you're special. If you are technical enough and can recycle possession, you won't have a problem there.

All you need to do is pass to the intelligent players around you, and Pep almost always has a chunk of those in his squad.

Trevor012:

This one or which one? Greatihex post was clear enough of City being favourites against teams that eliminated them in previous seasons.

Greatihex:
that is what they have been saying since pep came to city, but since then nigga has always had his ucl hope dashed by underdogs each season. All have been underdogs as at the time they met city. Let me list them.

Monaco
Liverpool
Tottenham
Lyon
Chelsea
Madrid
All were underdogs to city as at when they met and eliminated city.

Inter will soon join the list.

Leyqute:


Not saying Pep isn’t a good manager. But you’ll be a dunce if you believe Stones will excel in another team’s midfield because he excelled in Pep’s midfield.

Same with Rico Lewis and Delphi.

A001:

Your argument no get head or tail. This was my initial post.

A001:



Madrid, being the biggest club in the tournament, were the favorites to win yesterday.

A001:
Clowns plenty for here sha. Man City against Inter in the final, City are expected to win because they've a stronger squad. That doesn't make Inter an underdog.

Only a clown calls Inter Milan with 3 CL titles an underdog. Underdog is a term used for teams called a dark horse in a tournament such as Club Brugge, Celtic, Sporting Lisbon, and co.

Use your dictionary before embarrassing yourself in public.

Trevor012:

Stop jumping into my mentions typing bunch of incoherent ramblings. Haaland for Balon dor if you don't like it go to court.

Leyqute:


How about kdB for ballon d'or if City does the treble? Will he be a worthy recipient?
