Champions League 24/25

That’s a rough draw.

No team outside the big 4-5 leagues although I have no idea how good Girona and Bologna are now.

Only team I’m not worried about are Lille, they’re a bit sh*t.

How many points to qualify for.top 8, 14 or 15 ?

It's a tough one but not gonna lie, this is what I crave in European football... gonna be a good few nights in there!

Think you're about right there Rossy.

I see City and Madrid top 2 with 20-22, then Arsenal Us Leverkusen Inter Munich and Bayern around the 14-18 points mark.

Tbh I see this being a very tight table (I guess it kinda has to be with so many teams and only 8 games), maybe 3-4 points separating 4th all the way down to maybe 17th-18th.

PSG and Salzburg with the hardest draws there.
Arsenal straight to the initial 8 in the Last 16.

Got to say it again, what a F***ing sh*te format.

Super League lite.

What a load of sh*te. Uefa bemoaning the super league then just create their own .

I'll watch our games then take some interest in the rest of it when it gets down to KOs.

Inter's midfield 3 are a good watch

More games tonight very much a bastardised super league

Don't think I've ever seen a team defend as badly in the CL as Feyenoord did that half, shocking.

Loving new format. 

Gonna be some game v lederhosen

Why's there CL on a Thursday night?

Why's there CL on a Thursday night?

Because teams like Spurs and Chelsea put in complaints to UEFA that they were receiving too much banter about playing Thursday nights.

Quite liked Ederson's performance tonight.....

Barca beaten by Monaco

Latest says 15 might just sneak.in but 16 points for sure

Grim start for Pep and Salzburg in the CL - two hammerings against average teams.
