I think he'll do fine. He won't win anything but he'll probably get second. I don't see City doing that well.



No, they're not.



Yeah, because Italian teams are so much stronger. Marseille is a pretty strong team and so is Arsenal. Look at how German teams dismantled Italian ones last year and think of how the best German team is two levels above the best Italian one.



:agree:

Forza Marseille! Forza Deschamps!

There is no way the German teams compare to Italian teams in CL. And that's even when the Italian teams are as weak as they are now. Shows you how far back the Germans really are at the top level TBH.

Bayern is the only top team in Germany as far as Europe is concerned, true. But what Italian team is on their level currently? Inter has gone down the deep end and Milan is not consistent enough. This year in the Bundesliga will be a one horse race like it was last year but the funny thing is that it's by a different team :lol:

This Bayern would dismantle 95% of Europe including every italian team, only Barca, Real and MU are on the same level, and me thinks Bayern would beat MU anyway.

20+ goal difference with only one goal conceded the first game? Crazy. Now they even have Neuer to make sure it stays that way.

Healthy Milan is arguably on the level of any team in europe except for Barca and Real.

Ooh wee, people are taking that draw with Barca a bit too seriously. Have you seen them in Serie A? They are Zlatan +10 and we all know about Ibracadabra and his disappearing act in the CL knockouts. They don't have the midfield to compete with Barca, Real, Man Utd., Chelsea, City, Bayern and others.

Yeah, Milan is quite overrated in this forum, they don't even play really good. I don't think they'll go that far, probably quarter finals depending on who they get in the first knockout round.

Milan's problem is that they don't have a strong enough midfield to play competitively in Europe. It's fine in Serie A, but they get bossed by strong foreign teams in the middle and are forced to play directly to their forwards.

They've been overrun a lot so far in Serie A. Their central defence and attack is what gets them through Serie A and we've seen how they can't cope without Zlatan. Any long term injury to him and they're screwed.
