Messi showing week in week out that he's come a long way. But hey, even though his stats are 19 played, 20 goals and 12 assists this season, he's no Modric

In other news, Ajax and PSV have never dominated the Eredivisie like this year.. insane stats this season. 16 games played and both have a goal difference of +50.

well I actually consider the current Messi to ibrahimovic.
Ibra was definitely vital to his title wining teams but he only showed up in smaller games. In bigger games (e.g. Champions League) he was unable to reproduce his game changing moments and thus failing to save his teams' eliminations

Schalke 04 vs Man City (boring)
Ath Madrid - Juventus (nice)
Man Utd - PSG (can be boring but i'm biased so nice)
Spurs - Dortmund (nice)
Lyon - Barca (boring)
Roma - Porto (boring)
Ajax - Real (boring)
Liverpool - Bayern (nice)

Ajax - Real could be surprisingly close depending on which Real shows up.

Fuck, Pool is quite the challenge considering how bad Bayern plays at the moment.

I just wanted a free win vs Mou :/

Fun ro16. At least we don't have too many repeats from previous years this time. 4 big games and apart from the Roma-Porto game, we can get only big teams in the next round!

I'm biased too, but Ajax vs Real could become the most entertaining match judging by Ajax - Bayern last week.

Lyon - Barca too with both teams playing attacking attractive football.

With how shit Madrid has been this season, Ajax actually stands a chance. Just as they did vs Bayern (who should also just stomp all over Ajax, but instead gave us 2 very entertaining matches in which Ajax had a real chance to win).

After being kinda unlucky with injuries maybe this time Bayern will get lucky with injuries (Boateng getting injured), then they might have a shot.

Apparently they have to play Barca and Atletico before both the two Ajax legs and I will still back them to roll all over Ajax. I have no idea how Real can be underestimated so much when they still are in everything and walked through to win their CL group without a serious challenge.
Plus Bale might be injured, so they might actually play a decent scorer at some point.

Real might also make some moves once the transfer window opens. Not sure how many UCL eligible key players there are available though.

Aren't the transfer rules changed? If you played UCL for a team in the first half of the season and transfer in the winter period you can play UCL for a different team afterwards? Think that's new this year, but definitely read it somewhere.

Ah, hadn't heard about that. Quite possible that for example the Coutinho transfer saga created interest in changing the rules.

They did indeed abolish it, missed that as well. I've been telling Pande that surely Hazard is the most attractive option before i knew about that

Forest vs Derby tonight on Sky. Should be a good game, its a bitter local rivalry between two teams around the top of the table.

I feel bad for Benfica.

They keep facing Turkish teams and Turks "invade" their social media accounts...

Speaking of Chelsea's transfer policy, has there been any update on Abramovich's visa? Last I heard was the stadium plan being stalled, but it has been a while since then.
