Why is Pep dropping his best players when it comes to big games like this? Muller/Lewa at Bayern and now Aguero at City. I dont remember him ever dropping Messi.

Well first, did they lose because they didn't have Aguero at start? And second, Messi is far more important than any of these players. The system was/is built around him.

I know I'm a fanboy, but I think Pep did a fine job. His choices or tactics didn't lose the game, individual mistakes did. First half was a 50/50 with the biggest chances going to City (excluding the goal). And he did that in the Camp Nou, against a team that's like his team but with better players xD

I still think his team isn't complete. He can't win the CL with these full backs; Silva and De Bruyne aren't defending enough, Nolito defends but to me he's like a weaker Pedro; and Fernandinho might be a little light skill-wise, although that'd be the least important weakness of his 11.

I've seen Ozil score several times now by volleying the ball into the ground only for it to still bounce into the net. I'm starting to wonder if he's doing it on purpose.

Definitely, he always does it with volleys.

Yes thats deliberate. Hitting it into the ground is a higher percentage play in terms of getting it on target.

ya, when you're volleying it's basically all about being on target, and with a volley, shooting above the goal is a very easy way to be off target. targeting the ground makes that very unlikely.

Ceferin said travel to the US would be "no problem" for fans.

He added: "To go from Portugal to Azerbaijan for example is almost the same or the same as if you go to New York.

Yeah right, the travel expenses are almost the same too, right? Statements like these anger me so much.

Also, at least Azerbeijan is Europe. What is the reason (other than sponsor moneyz) for having the uEfa CL finals in somewhere other than Europe?

Also, the CL finals has never been held in Azerbeijan... so wth?

"Because it's a european competition"

Can't argue with that reasoning by Ceferin!

Azerbeijan is in Asia. Am I being a Romanian here or....?

Anyway he basically says it's about the money. It's a way to increase viewership. I don't think that's too bad as long as they are transparent about it.
