The Munich fans are also fanatics if you have been there and met them. They eat, sing and drink way before the game starts in pubs all over Munich (they are more crazy than the English). It is really a nice club to be. 52 minutes ago, Spring said: They got the cream of German football and they are also supplemented with class players like Lewandowski, Alaba, Coman, Thiago and youngsters like Davies. Traditionally, the big 4 in World Club football are Barca, Real Madrid, Man United and Bayern who have the financial strength, history and tradition to attract the best players so not surprising they can renew themselves. They are the big favourites together with City to win UCL this year. Covid has hit them as otherwise players like Werner and Havertz would hv been bought by them already. They did get Sane from City though. Yes, i remember Klopp was resigned to losing his best players at Dortmund to BM. In an interview, he even said BM doesn't bring a knife to raid stars, they even have bazooka😆 The thing is, i'm wondering why is it that BM doesn't have any obvious transition period when one batch of stars age or leave, then new batch is not ready yet. We see this in Man U, even Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs and of course Pool. Utd and Chelsea certainly have the $$, but can't say they did as well as BM. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ath Madrid this season form is not good, i doubt they can go far. on paper would be barc / man c then psg to win it I think Bayern will beat Barca easily. The Germans are the overall favorites for the UCL, they easily demolished Chelsea in the previous round. I believe only City and perhaps PSG can stop them. Barca this year not strong. I don't think they can overcome the Germans. Ath Madrid is based on solid teamwork, good defence. They are a well drilled team. Whilst I don't discount them, UCL winners normally have a game changer player in the team like Lewandoski, Mbappe, Neymar kind of players. City also has Aguero, De Bruyne, Sterling who whilst not exactly the former 3 standards, they can be game changers on their day too. So looks like 1 of these teams in my opinion. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get your point as football normally goes in cycles so Bayern should rightfully have some transition period as well but Bayern and for that matter Juventus as well are so strong that they could easily ride over any transition period without much notice. Both these 2 clubs hv not won the UCL for a long time now despite their obvious dominance in their own Leagues so I won't say they didn't have any transitions.. Bayern President Uli Hoeness recently irked Borussia Dortmund by saying that Dortmund treated their players as objects for sale and as such their players nvr got to absorb the DNA of the club unlike Bayern who buys players not for business reasons but for their playing skills. Dortmund retorted back by saying of course easy for Bayern to say as their revenue is much higher than Dortmund's. The EPL big 6 are more evenly match hence any slip in standards are obviously noticed like how the 4 bar City and Pool have slipped this few seasons. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In England there are big 3-4. In Italy, there are big 3. In Germany there is only one. Dortmund is not close because they have to sell all their best players. This probably answers why Bayern is always champions and able to attract all the best talents in the country and Poland. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lala81 Hypersonic August 14, 2020 Share August 14, 2020 Neymar was very good in the PSG win. If he just stops his falling over, he's really hard to handle. Running into space with his skill and decent pace. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya Barca lost a superstar in Neymar n bought 3 duds Dembele is the worst, don't know what so good about him that can make Barca buy him for more than 100mil but maybe I've not seen enough of him. Griezmann I think suffer from not being the main man as he has to share attacking load with Suarez and Messi so not entirely his fault. Coutinho lost his way and even loan to Bayern, failed to ignite his undoubted quality. He has been linked to many clubs but no club willing to take a risk on him so far. The Catalans are also short of $ and need to be selective in buying players. Gone are the days where Barca can just bully selling clubs into parting with their players often at low prices but I'm happy about this cos the 2 Big Spanish clubs upset alot of clubs by taking their players at their peak. Serve them right if u ask me...... 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he needs a run of games to get rhythm going but so far he just looks ordinary to me. Anyway Barca has wasted the Neymar funds 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both liked to turn players' heads and get them to force a move to them. Now left with a lot of deadwood there and hope their finances dry up soon. As for Dembele, i really like him. If he didn't miss that late counter attack when barca was 3-0 up in the UCL semi-final first leg, things could have been so different. 🤭 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
