Champions League 2012/2013 Thread

Man United do have an easy group, but the same thing was most likely said last season and look what happened they fucked up. But the reason why they fucked up last season was probably down to complacency

They didn't win the league in the 80's lad.

yes gnp i was just saying if he did win the leauge in the 80's then he couldnt hav played in europe anyway! but i wasnt criticising fergie like sum1 said i were, i just feel that being at that club for all those years he should have won more european cups! when you look at 1 of your managers didnt he win it 3 times in less than 10 years? where as fergie has won it only twice although i know its a different format now but is it harder to win it now with this format?

Over the last 20 years, only Real Madrid, Barcelona and Milan have won more Champions Leagues (3 each). And don't forget that they made two recent finals, only to be beaten by arguably the best club side ever in Barcelona. So winning two is still a great achievement, though not as great as Bob Paisley winning three, or indeed Brian Clough winning back-to-back titles with Forest, a much smaller club And I'm sure Fergie himself will feel they could/should have won more, especially when he looks at the all-time roll of honour and sees Real's nine titles, Milan's seven and, of course, Liverpool's five Which is probably one of the reasons why he's still going at the age of 70

Real Madrid have a fabulous line up: Sergio Ramos, Kaka, Benzema, Ozul, Luka Modric. And they are just on the substitutes bench.

Latest score is 1-1 with 8 mins left

Man City fucked it up, but Real Madrid were the better team. What a match though particularly in the second half

So much for group games being dull, though I did miss the 2 goals to make it 2-2 while having a piss

I think Chrlse can be proud they held Juve to a 2-2 draw they had their chances though and I think Torres was a litle isolated up front. Chelsea need to bee a little more assertive up front if they are going to get out of their group.

Manchester City equalise in the 89th minute after being given a very suspect penalty
Borussia Dortmund should have won at a canter ... and would have if it hadn't been for some bad finishing and some brilliant goalkeeping by Joe Hart.

Balotelli's penalty, the way he took it , stop mid run i always thought that was not allowed?
