Pandemona: The draws for the remaining rounds will take place in Nyon, Switzerland tomorrow, Friday 10 July, from 11am UK time. The UEFA executive committee previously announced that the 2020/21 Champions League group stage would begin on 20 October.

Pande just linked me this and it made me look up next season schedule:

- still 6 CL/EL groupstage games until early December
- 3 national team breaks with 6 games of Nations league
- most leagues starting later than usual, PL will be 4/5 weeks

We all knew it was going to be brutal, but holy hell they aren't even trying to make it any easier. At least there is no doubt now that the 5 subs rule needed to stay around.
possession wins games, kante is washed up and shit - pande

VAR 0:3 Good job guys. Things looking bleak for Villa. I thought they were going to get out of it. But recent wins for West Ham and Watford leave them really needing results.

First time in premier league history that a team wins four games in a row by 3 or more goals! United is on fire! (No matter how silly that var decision was)

Has any player ever had this much of an instant effect on a club as Bruno Fernandes? The second he arrived United have transformed

It's not so much VAR, but the people using it.

Yes the premier league is showing the whole world how VAR is not to be used. (Probably to get rid of it)
But starting next season I think FIFA is going to take over VAR

In Germany VAR is okay with a few bad exceptions. In England VAR is horrible with few good exceptions

EDIT: Also this

Such an interesting CL this year because it’s so condensed, a team just has to be on fire for a short period and can spring an upset. Plus the Covid factor and empty stadiums.

Atalanta are one such streaky team and PSG haven’t exactly had much match practice could see them as a real dark horse. They do blow very hot and cold though.

Maybe Barca can band together amidst all this friction with the board and likely losing the league and have a real push with their ageing squad. They only need to get it right for a few games, or have Messi on inspired form once or twice.

Amongst the field I’d say City, Real and Bayern are the most strong since leagues restarted and one of the first two are going to eliminate one another.

Pretty exciting times regardless, don’t recall a last 8 so potentially open in many a year.

Top side is so stacked with Juve, Bayern, Real, City and Barca holy cow. PSG might make a final for once.

I have a feeling Atletico will win it all. The way they bodied Liverpool out makes me feel like it is their year.

Also the schedule for next season is absolute bonkers like Sneirac said, 2 international matchdays played over 6 days and champions league back to back from October to December lol.

No way in hell are Atletico going to win CL, just because they fluked a win vs a good side once.

Wasn't one win though it was two xD

And who stands in their way in that bottom half? PSG? PSG semi final vs the defensive masterclass Simeone would put out...i would back them over PSG who have not kicked a ball in 6 months xd

Then in the final vs whoever it is 90 minutes! 1 game, 1 night

Leipzig without Werner might be the underdogs but I'd still give them 35-40%, PSG even without practice I'd give 60% and even if Atletico make the finals anyone they meet will be a 3:1 favorite in my book.

Athleti years ago absolutely, this iteration is as dogged and determined as we’ve come to expect but they’re not defending as well as Simeone’s sides used to.

Perhaps it was watching it in the pub with many Liverpool fans both legs, as a neutral it didn’t feel like quite the defensive masterclass we’ve seen in the past, where Athletico barely gave you a sniff.

Anyway hopefully Atalanta can take out PSG and Athletico get past Leipzig. Would be such a total clash of styles, could be interesting.
