I feel like Atalanta - Real Madrid could be really interesting. I think I read somewhere that Atalanta was one of the most adaptive teams in the UCL last season and Real's inconsistency probably has some exploitable patterns in it.

Part of it probably is just hoping that Real doesn't have their key players on 100% form when the match arrives, but maybe there's some weaknesses to tap into even when Ramos, Casemiro and Benzema are healthy and playing well.

It's not, he is. Then again every Chelsea fan hates shithousery if it is done to them, remember how they defended Hazard.

We never had a towel. We weren't competing for over a year. Haaland was, Guerreiro and Sancho (pre-Corona-break) sure, but as a team they are a non-factor.

Oi stop spreading fake news, this is the worst tie for us as a team who can defend and Atletico are built to win competitions like the Champions league. We need all our attacking talent fit and healthy to have a chance in this one, we have played this whole season vs teams who sit in and defend and when we fail to beat it, aka like against Everton i rage at the things that are at fault, this weekend it was tactics and personnel.

How good is Julian Nagelsmann? Is he the sort of mercurial coach who can kickstart Dortmund? But I guess now that he's at Leipzig, Dortmund won't be able to beat his pay? Should've gotten him while he was at Hoffenheim...

These are the names the press is connecting with Dortmund:
Marco Rose (Gladbach)
Mauricio Pochettino
Julian Nagelsmann (Leipzig)
Jesse Marsch
David Wagner
and my favorite Ottmar Hitzfeld (retired. Does he do the Heynckes?)

David Wagner really? Who comes up with these stories...

Rose seems like the most likely candidate to me, Dortmund has a thing for transfers from one Borussia to another anyway. I don't think Nagelsmann is likely to leave Leipzig after this season. Marsch would be interesting (could also work as Rose replacement for Gladbach though ). Poch would be a very interesting solution but I don't think Dortmund will go after the big international name.

David Wagner started the "run" of Schalke this season, but is he really a bad coach or was it just Schalke doing Schalke things?

I wouldn't say he's clearly bad per se but there's no way Dortmund's management could sell him as a solution to their fans. A few years down the line after he did well at another club maybe, but not now. The Schalke thing is way too recent for that. He was fired at a team fighting relegation, he shouldn't be first, second or third choice (probably not 10th choice either) at a club that wants to compete for championships in the same league.

I highly doubt that Gottmar Hitzfeld is coming back, would be amazing tho.

Also his ex players like Zorc, Reuter, Herrlich, Kahn, Brazzo etc are now all in management, would be kind of weird

They (or the voting journalists) voted for Maradona and Pele as the 2 offensive midfielders, seems prettty reasonable to me without judging the positions they chose. Might also be the reason why Cruyff isn't there.

Maybe with how Zidane behaved at the WC2006, they might be still pissed about this :D

This PL season is looking fantastic. 5 points between the top 10 teams after 12-13 matches played. Tottenham and Liverpool prolly looking like the strongest two (and I'm really not just looking at the table :D) , but mostly it just looks overwhelmingly open.

I saw an interesting stat on Reddit from Twitter somewhere:

For each Premier League season that Jose Mourinho has completed, he has finished in the same spot in the league that he was in after 12 games. Tottenham Currently First.

if nagelsmann goes somewhere, isn't the logical choice to replace him marsch since he's at salzburg?
