Sevilla (A) - Tue 6th Sept, 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

My concern is that if we do win the CL this season, Pep may decide to call it a day.

I like to think that he's already agreed to a new deal and that it will be announced before we have to worry about winning it this season.

But i also think that Pep likes records and so this years PL will be 3 in a row if we win it, and so if we win the CL then can we go on a run. Looking at our squad, i think we could.

Look at Fergie and utd only won champs league twice in all those years when utd were spending vast fees on players and dominating it does take a bit of luck cup competition and foreign refs we'll get there in the end

Just noticed that Pep only listed Laporte, Stones & Walker as unavailable through injury. Does that mean we may see that tiger from Leeds getting some minutes tonight?

Every single employee of MCFC from Khaldoon down to the tea lady would sacrifice the league this year for the Champions League. No need to take an apologetic tone: most of those who pretend it's not the priority do it as a self-preservation mechanism.

This team needs at least one Champions League for the future to view it as what it is: one of the best teams ever. That's just the way it is and I want it with a passion.

5 Premier league titles out of 6 still sounds pretty tasty to me

Stat of the Day:

Erling alone has scored more than 72 clubs (individually) thus far across the top five European leagues.

I think Pep is destined never to win it with us. Whoever replaces him will win it in their 1st year. Just a hunch

I want win to win everything we enter. Hell yes the CL too.
It will get the monkey off our back but as sure as eggs is eggs the dippers will come back with “talk to us when you got six lah“.

This competition is getting on my tits now.

Win it once and we'll bag a few.

The fact all we had to do was beat a fucking bang average Chelsea which we do twice a year and not absolutely shit the bed in 3 minutes to Madrid to possibly have two in the cabinet.

I'd honestly take us completely shit housing one.

Haaland Zidane’ing a corner off his arse in stoppage time of the final to win it would do me.
