Talking about future teams in the champions league. Do you think Turkish league and top turkish teams will be good in the future? I mean, they are the third more populous country after Russia and Germany, and football is very popular similar to Spain or Portugal, and of course a lot more popular than in Russia. The problem I see is the bad organization and chaos of the league, maybe in the future they can improve this.

I see the 2016-2025 being higher, i can see PSG maybe making a semi final with a decent draw, English team for sure will make it there again in no time. Then you're back up to 5, maybe a lucky run from Porto/Benfica and you could get a 6th but when the 5 leagues in Europe are so far ahead of the others it makes it hard for your Dutch/Portuguese/Turkish teams to go that far.


Real stoped beeing stupid with their "Defensive players are players that arent good enough for offense, so we dont buy them" and Bayern started spending their money.

Biggest problem in the past 5 years was that PL teams sucked consistantly in CL. With chelsea instead of Real we would have 4 teams from 4 different countries and no one would complain.

Sure we would. If it was Chelsea-Barça-Bayern +1 making up the CL semis every year for the last 10 years or so that would be no better at all than Real-Barça-Bayern...

I think it was rather obvious he didnt mean Chelsea instead of Real for the last 10 years. Just that with other teams from other countries playing at a higher level there would be slightly more variation for example Chelsea instead of Real Barca or Bayern this year.

So no english teams in CL means no TL hype or what.

FML Barça vs Bayern, the only team I did not want to face in two games. Madrid lucking it up as always.

And first game at home. Disaster!

Well at least if Barça wins this CL, they would have deserved it xD Manchester City, PSG, Bayern, Real Madrid, can't do much harder than this... I hope that Juventus at least puts up a fight since this time it's Real's turn to go to Sevilla and play Valencia in 1 week, with a CL game in the middle.

Juventus is still the underdog here, but they are playing much better nowadays

Vidal recovered and that helped a lot too

(I would love to see Vidal in Barcelona, along Mascherano no one would pass)

Yeah, as always... You mean like the last season, when we faced Bayern in the semi. Or the season before that with Borussia... Or the season before that with Bayern again. Such luck.

Haha, nice



Onto the draw, looks a great one. Barca vs Bayern should be a beautiful game and Pep back at Camp Nou will be great for there fans, also be fun if he turns up and has 80% of the ball Will be interesting.

Juve vs Real be good, hopefully a full strength Juventus is available and then it will be closer than expected due to how good Juventus actually are. Real clear favorites no doubt but this is a semi final and it is not a given.

In the semis you can't expect to get easy teams... Juventus was the best draw and they got it.

Since 2010-11, when Madrid started to pass the ro16 again, and not counting finals:

2010-11
Madrid: Lyon - Tottenham - Barcelona
Barça: Arsenal - Shaktar - Real

2011-12
Madrid: CSKA Moscow - Apoel - Bayern
Barça: Leverkusen - AC Milan - Chelsea

2012-13
Madrid: Manchester United - Galatasaray - Dortmund
Barça: AC Milan - PSG - Bayern

2013-14:
Madrid: Schalke - Dortmund - Bayern
Barça: Manchester City - Atletico

2014-15:
Madrid: Schalke - Atletico - Juventus
Barça: Manchester City - PSG - Bayern

In bold the harder matchups at that time (in my opinion). So, Except for the Man. U draw 2 seasons ago, Madrid has always had some good luck with their opponents. Every time they've had to face a big team they got eliminated, except for Bayern last year, and maybe Atletico this year (but considering how Atletico is playing compared to last year...).

It's just randomness, nobody is saying they've paid the UEFA or anything like that, but the truth is, Madrid has had it easier than other big teams (at least than Barcelona) in the past few years.

I agree, and they always get in Ro16/Ro8 teams like Shalke, Galatasaray, etc. They are the luckiest team on draws I have seen.
