We got lucky this time, I was so sure we would get City. Celtic will probably still be more than a handful for us in our current condition.

Meeting City at this time is not the worst though, they're struggling big time. So Real Madrid probably got this as they always do in the CL.

I was so sure about that as well last year when we played them. Turned out our experience was key and we ousted them without it being undeserved.

So I could see Juve do the same to them. Arsenal is a good team, but they really lack experience in the CL.
Remains to be seen how well Jota re-adjusts to life at Celtic and the new manager and team. Losing Kyogo up front is a massive blow for Celtic.

Incidentally this is how you say goodbye to a player leaving your team. Jj miles behind as usual

They are competing with City so let's not forget that. Generally the spending in the EPL is insane. They haven't won titles but Arteta has overachieved imo. In case he leaves you'll see Arsenal drop down to 7th place. He made them competitive and they have impressive seasons behind them. Look how much they score and concede. It was basically impossible to win next to City. This year Liverpool is having an incredible run, too. I know people mock him (Arteta) but he actually made them relevant compared to the past. But this season they are dealing with tons of injuries.
I don't know if he over achieved, but he did do well. It took him many years and a lot of signings to turn them into a solid team that can compete at the top. Now that they're stable as a competitive team the standards have been raised, the expectations are higher he needs to win the league. Those higher expectations are a reflection of the progress he has made thus far.

Time will tell if he can take them to the next level of becoming a winning team, not merely a competitive one.

Yeah man try and get tickets if you can! To quote Paulo Maldini: "Every professional footballer should seek to play at least one game at Celtic Park, I have never felt anything like it."

Or Oliver Kahn: "The atmosphere here (Celtic Park) tonight was unbelievable and it's an honour to play in such an arena."

Would've loved that, will be on my bucket list. I remember when we played you guys in 2017, the stadium was bouncing it seemed. Speaking of Scottish football, our European history actually started against your eternal rivals aka Rangers in 1967 - same year you guys won the European Cup, we won the Cup Winners' Cup against them :grin: A 22 year old Beckenbauer, G. Müller and Sepp Maier.

Thank you for your service.

If you hadn't you'd have gotten namedropped in this banger along with Dinamo Moscow, which I just remembered when you said Cup Winners Cup

Juventus, UEFA list: Who's left out of the Champions League? Not enough room for everyone

Juventus will face PSV in the Champions League playoffs, with the first leg scheduled for Tuesday, February 11, and the second leg on Wednesday, February 19. But who will be on the roster? Not everyone, as UEFA regulations impose limitations. Each team can add a maximum of three new players to its roster compared to the previous list, regardless of how many are removed. This means Juventus can only include three out of Renato Veiga, Alberto Costa, Kolo Muani, and Kelly.

One of the four new signings will be left out of the UEFA list and therefore unable to participate in the Champions League. All indications point to Alberto Costa being excluded. Despite being the first to arrive at Continassa among the new signings, he has yet to make his debut. Meanwhile, Kolo Muani has already established himself as the starting striker, Renato Veiga debuted in the league shortly after joining and offers versatility, and Kelly, the most recent signing, is deemed more ready than Costa. These factors are likely to lead coach Motta to reluctantly leave out the 2003-born fullback.

Recap: Costa might not play UCL due to 3 spots of UCL.

In the hypothetical scenario that we can’t get better than 5th in Serie A…CL final is between Inter and Barca. If Inter win, they give Serie A a chance to get 5 teams in the CL next season. But if they lose, the 5th extra spot goes to La Liga.

What do? @Lion @s4tch @JuveJay etc
