Real Madrid and Barcelona basically took over since 2012, bar one Bayern season. Still, the EPL are famous for punching above their weight and rising for the occasion.


The 2012 example is a classic. Beating Bayern at their own pitch in the final on penalties after being outplayed.
Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern, Aletico, Juventus have provided the vast majority of CL semifinalists in the last 5 years. EPL has been garbage dude. They haven't punched above their weight in years.

English teams are great in the group stage but absolute garbage in the knockouts.

Would have made for a better Rof16 draw for us if they went through. Oh well. Liverpool and Tottenham are mediocre teams. If we draw them and cannot beat them, we don't deserve CL success.
True, still annoying. Not Tottenham progressing, i dont mind them at all over inter, but Pool. Napoli really are a choking bunch. They needed ONE goal, then Pool would need 3. But ofcourse they managed to score 0 woth all their useless flair and beautifootie. Classic
