Took out 3 other Bundesliga teams on the way
4!
Ro64 Hannover 96 ( 2. Bundesliga, 6th place)
Ro32 Union Berlin (1. Bundesliga, 14th place)
Ro16 Freiburg (1. Bundesliga, 7th place)
Ro8 Werder Bremen (1. Bundesliga, 12th place)
Ro4 (Semifinals) Leverkusen (1. Bundesliga, 2nd place)
Ro2 (Finals) Leipzig or Stuttgart (1. Bundesliga, 6th or 11th)
This last one is on Hincapie and Alonso who let Hincapie play longer than the first 20min. Should have subbed him off early. It was obvious Hincapie has a really really bad godawul day.

Fun fact of the weekend, Everton after playing their last game at Goodison, versus Arsenal who they’ve lost more games to than any other side, 120 years of top-division clashes in that fixture uninterrupted (minus some pesky wars)
That’s pretty crazy!

They need 2-3 top tier signings or they are in trouble next season and it might be the end of there "era" and they back in a top 4 race.

Rice purchase price of West Ham is prolly the steal of the decade

Dang Real looked lost there. They can thank the heavens and Courtois for it only beeing 3:0
|
I should have bet on Arsenal! Real cant come back from this I am sure, Arsenal looks way too strong.

When did Real ever care about beeing the better team? If anything, it's probably worth it betting on Real

Brain bets on Real, heart bets on Arsenal. Also I think Bayern can still do the turn around.

Arsenal are much better at defending deep and keeping teams out when they want to this season. I can't see RM scoring more than 2 goals against them.

I think that Arsenal have this locked up too tbh but you never know, RMA are the boogeyman of the UCL... they do some really wild shit sometimes that just blows everyones minds.

The thing with Vini + Mbabbe combination is that neither of them is known for pressing and I'm not sure if for example Modric is a ball-winning midfielder at this point either. Three unanswered goals for Real sounds like a huge task if Arsenal can slow things down a bit.
With individuals that Real has, they can obviously summon individual brilliance out from nowhere, but they don't feel like a team that can wear the opponent down over 90 minutes. Give Real a 1 goal chase and 15 minutes and it feels almost inevitable, but three over 90 sounds much harder. They're at least going to need something going early I think.

Barcelona have set their sights on their first Champions League title since 2015 and they will be aided by the excellent form they are in during that bid.
Hansi Flick's side are unbeaten across all competitions in 2025 - that is 23 games without a defeat and they have won 19 of those games.
It is their best unbeaten start to a calendar year in their history.
They won six of their eight games in the league phase this season to finish second - only two points behind table toppers Liverpool.
Barca have won five different games by a margin of at least three goals this season and it's the first time they have done so in a major European competition.

Flick's Barca crushing records more than the golden age of Barca. He is such a great coach

Bodø-Glimt is just the greatest
![[image loading]](https://tl.net/staff/LiquidDrone/graphs/bodoglimt.png)
that's the attendance limit for the stadiums of the remaining EL teams on top and the value of all the players on the teams according to transfermarkt on the bottom
Still crushing everybody. Lazio was lucky to go home with 0-2. They're significantly better on home field so it's still reasonably open - definitely slight favorites to reach the semi though. And unlike other small-town teams that vastly overperform compared to what their size would indicate, they have no rich uncle providing for them.
