Would you swap Dybala for Pogba and then sign Messi? Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When I say decline I don’t mean existentially...but financially other leagues have caught up somewhat. And La Liga was partially carried by 2 generational players who were heads above everybody else. That won’t continue. I think Serie A will outperform La Liga over next 5 years. Sent from my...

It's the decline of La Liga. Financial impact frpm COVID will make it very hard to adequately replace players. Juventus is in a slightly better position since it raised 400M euro from equity in December.

Nice luxury when you can sub on Sule, Coutinho, Coman, Tolisso and Hernandez Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I agree here re: high line being highest vulnerability. I think Man City probably doesn’t fare well unless Pep is willing to adjust tactics and not play possession. But PSG is probably their biggest threat: but PSG will need to sit back and counter, relying on Mbappe and Neymar. Sent from my...

Convinced only way to beat this Bayern team is by playing a counter attack game. The only hole I saw was the high line. The attack is so potent you can’t give it space. I don’t know how many of the remaining teams are willing to adjust like that though...Bayern are easily favourites. Sent...

You don’t try and out offense this Bayern lol. Literally the only way to beat them given their depth is counter attack IMO. Maybe PSG can compete if they’ll willing to park the bus and rely on Neymar and Mbappe counters. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For the first time in a long time I think the top 3 in Serie A are better than the top 3 in La Liga Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Exception to the rule :P

Welcome to Italian coaches in Europe lol.

I'm not worried at all. I think we're freaking out about Leverkusen way too much. Atletico got a lot weaker from last year. I jumped onto a betting site: this is what the bookies think... 1) I took an average of odds to win the whole tournament, and our group is middle of the pack in terms of...

It's for sure bias - Inter is significantly better than last yr. Serie A is the most competitive it has been in years. Bookie odds say as much. Italian teams IMO will fair well this champions league. There is a real possibility all four teams with make knockouts. We'll advance. We shouldn't...

Like many Italian coaches, I think his teams fair better internationally when they aren't favourites.

Honestly their qualification could be driver by whether Barcelona signs Neymar. But I agree with you - Conte's teams are solid from front to back and play with high intensity. I personally think Inter vs. Dortmund is 50/50. And Inter could squeeze one past Barcelona - although that wouldn't be...

Yeah wouldn't be fun to sit through But I can't stand Barcelona/Madrid fans. Seeing Roma own Barcelona brought me a lot of joy. I would get the same joy out of Inter beating them. But wouldn't it be amazing while they're on a complete high to knock em down. Ronaldo siuuu panning to Marotta's face.

I'd rather have us beat em in the Semis or something.

I'd prefer Italian teams to get further. It's better for the league and our top line in the long run. That is literally one of the key factors that sunk Serie A in 2006 - teams (Inter) were more concerned about sabotaging league opponents and it set the league back a decade, and put Serie A in a...

lol they deserve it tbh after last year's draw

Wouldn't be poetic if Barcelona bought Neymar and Inter/Dortmund finished ahead? Would be a huge issue.

No reason to not make knockouts.
