We played them in three seasons in the CL group stage, won three, lost three, drew none. We came the second twice behind them and It was the results against Napoli in 2011/2012 season that got us not going through the group stage.They’ve knocked us out every time we played them I think.
It was the rule in 2004-05 when Crespo was loaned out to Milan and they were set to meet in the final. Chelsea just tried a way around it with a penalty clause which was void.Nothing to do with the loan agreement, UEFA rules say he can play, they changed it after the fuss about Courtois when Chelsea played Atletico.
Obvious before it even
FFS there’s a typical City scenario in there which I prey we avoidCan do in CL
I still think the fa cup should be the one we aim for, Sick of getting so far in the fa cup and going out. 3 semi finals in the past 3 seasons in the fa cup and fuck all to show for it.If he wasn't prior to this draw.....i think Pep now has to prioritise his resources and decide which of the 3 comps we are left in he wants/needs to win.
If we do go for it in all 3 though,which would be commendable,and i wouldnt have a grumble with.....i do believe we will come away empty handed.
It's tough at the top!
is that just the ones with no tickets and jibbing inTrying to dodge 30,000 blade wielding neopolitans in Istanbul will be interesting
Bloody hell get him on the pitch and let Phil tear him a new arsehole.We've got a month to prepare for cancelo inevitably burning us and causing complete and utter meltdown.
That didn't turn out too wellNeed to be avoiding Madrid, Bayern and Napoli.
