[Kippax Street 1880]

Vini Jr, Mbappe and Rodrigo will be some force next year. Hard to to look beyond them again next year.

Meh, it's half as Scary as Bale Benzema Ronaldo or Neymar Suarez Messi

Shame we couldn't have been there last night. The team were fantastic throughout the competition, just couldn't take our chances when we dominated Real. Its really amazing, the hold they have on this competition.

It wasn’t just not taking our chances, it was conceding stupid goals which was a recurring theme all season. Fortunately we got away with it in the one that mattered most.

Not sure that's 100% right mate 2 of the goals in Madrid were deflections, we can do nothing about that we didn't take our chances and need a bit of luck IMO.

Seem to have more than their fair share of luck too, we outplayed them in Madrid two bits of luck kept them in it for second leg where KDBs misses open goal he scores 99 times out of 100. In cup competitions best side doesn’t always win.

42 cannon fodder teams before the competition even starts to get anything like serious.

I remember seeing Mbappe, Messi and Neymar at the etihad a few years ago. Absolutely pathetic the lot of em. Had no internet in the game at all unless it was in the final third. Spent 75 minutes all stood still with their hands on their hips sulking.

On paper their forward line next year looks scary, but it won’t be easy adding an ego like mbappe into that mix and making it work.

Real Madrid have been dealing with players having big egos for many years. The players know the club is bigger than them and generally behave. It's possible they also behave as they are under less stress due to favourable officiating both on and off the pitch.

To be fair they are probably more used to a better WiFi connection.

The new CL format looks shit with even more meaningless games in the early stages and less chance of any upsets. I can’t see what these changes bring. There should be more knock- out games.

42 cannon fodder teams before the competition even starts to get anything like serious.

So, IF one of these teams were to win it, they'd have played in the CL every month for a year. (June-Dec 2024 then Jan-May 2025)
