Champions League 2014/15

Bleh

Turan.

Just to make it a bit Arda.

Excellent.

Ronaldo celebrating on his own.

What a classy bloke.

[Matt]

Come on Atletico

[FLiam]

Seriously, Real Madrid's play-acting is embarrassing.

Ronaldo celebrating on his own.

What a classy bloke.

Ronaldo first started celebrating on his own during his breakout season with United in about 2007. This isn't new.

Fair point!

I kinda like the new seedings rule change for next seasons Champions League. Champions of Europe's top 7 leagues (BPL, La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1, Bundesliga... Portuguese and Dutch maybe?) and the competition holders get in pot 1.

[TCO]

It's the fairest way really. It rewards the champions and we'll get more entertaining, competitive groups.

It was getting a bit silly having Man City as champions in a group of death while consistently 4th place Arsenal getting a much easier one.

[Gazz]

Now we'll get fourth placed Man City in a group of death.

[DavidMarrio]

The top 8 leagues according to UEFA would be Spain, England, Germany, Italy, Portugal, France, Russia and Ukraine. Those were the last rankings at the end of March and with no Dutch teams on the Europa League they won't break into the top 8.

[EddieG]

Don't remind me.

[DavidMarrio]

I'd like to see Bayern/Juve in the semis, I think that would be a good match and I'd rather see Bayern VS Barca or Madrid in a final than a possible Barca/Madrid final.

[The Lusophone]

Juve Barca for that Suarez Chiellini interaction.

[Baddar]

That's the draw I wanted. Nice!

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Barca/Bayern and Real/Juve

I fancy an El Clasico final, as much as I want Juventus to go on and win it.

[TCO]

Perfect draw! Interesting to see Pep try to handle Messi and a potential El Classico final too!

[Thrilla]

Bah, was hoping for a Bayern/Barca final. Bayern/Juve will do though.

[Rainiac]

I think we're heading towards a Bayern/Real final personally, which would be a hell of a match. Juve might spring a surpise though: Real didn't look that great in their quarter final against Athletico

[TCO]

To be fair to Real, 0-0 in the first leg was a great result and they were missing half their team in the 2nd, along with Atletico parking the bus. They're in fine shape.

I reckon it'll be an El Classico final with Pep shitting the bed in the semi like last year.
