For the last 4, its a clear case for; anyone but Real Madrid.
Nah, they all disgusting.

Liverpool for the deluded island monkeys, Roma for Nainggolan and all the Juve haters crawling out of their caves to lol at us if they win, Bayern for being Bayern.

Nah, anyone but Liverpool for me. And for many reasons not Roma and Bayern either. So Real to win it again please.
Real for me too.

Lets be honest, which clubs arent disgusting in a biased fans perspective? :p When Bayern go out, I absolutely dont want anyone else to win - even with sympathy for some few clubs.

All clubs are disgusting in their own way.
That's true and I can think of a set of four even more disgusting teams but disgusting and more disgusting is still disgusting through the eyes of a fan.

Liverpool 100% for me. Preferable to the Real Madrid, the German Real Madrid, and the Italian hipsters. Plus, how can you not love the all England midfield?

What really bugs me: why didnt we enjoy this kinda favoritism when we were the best team, when we had the best stars?
Wasnt our 1985 cl win won with a non-existent penalty or am i tripping here ? I think we've had our share of favoritism just not to the level of the Spanish teams i guess.

We just dint expand our global reach to the level Madrid did and build on our past European victories

The 'priority' was always scudetto

Football has evolved a lot since then. They hype around the CL today is what we used to see at the World Cup every 4 years. Now football, especially club football, has got a lot bigger.

That particular favoritism was due to Heysel tho.

That Scudetto priority really fucked us. We put the Scudetto siluette on our new logo too ffs. We never learn.

You'll notice that when Bayern won the CL and made semi's consistently, they were getting many favorable ref calls too. Its just become a money thing now. They want to push/favor the more 'attractive' and popular sides in CL because its good for ratings. Generally the best teams in every league get most of the 50-50 calls go their way like us in Italy, Bayern in Germany, United in England etc.

One downside for a team like us is we dont play the most attractive footy like the Spanish clubs do so there's that too as far as favoritism is concerned.

Thats not to say you cant win a CL when there's obvious bias but maybe sometimes protests like these help and put UEFA under more scrutiny. Its not just a one club thing now , its an entire nation protesting against the bias.

I don't get the hate for Liverpool or Roma to be honest, both teams have suffered by having to sell their best players, and could only make do with the money they made. They're not big names anymore either. As for Bayern, I don't see any ridiculous hype created around them, except that from their own fans, which is expected. Barcelona and Real Madrid are a different story, UEFA and the media keep promoting the Champions League as Real and Barcelona plus 'others.'

Honestly I wouldn't hold it against them if they win it fair and square, and maybe they would put more for in our belliesv to win it.
Exactly, and none of the remaining teams are currently first in their league except Bayern.

When Pep was here it was like that all the time, that we were expected to win everything with him, but always we came short at the end in CL. I like it this year where we are going a little more unnoticed.
