Champions league should not be an obsession
What a loser mentality. Of course, it should be an obsession, especially after winning a league no one outside Italy and die-hard Juve fans gives two shits about for six consecutive seasons. If we want the world to sit up and take notice of Juve, then we need to win the CL.

We are playing an away game but Tottenham arent exactly playing at home as well...
We have injured players this is true but... We have others who are fit
Out all the very important players we have: Higuain Dybala Mandzukic D.Costa Matuidi Pjanic Chiellini A.Sandro - all are healthy except Higuain who rumors say he will be healthy too
One player we really missed in the 1st game was Matuidi who could cover a lot of ground +helps a lot in defense
I expect the game to be less of a goal feast in Tottenham - The question is how good our attack is going to be
If we play a good attacking game I see no reason why we shouldnt qualify as I bet on our defense to handle Tottenham this time..
1-0 is a result that we could achieve but the thing is at 1-0 we cant just sit back as 1-1 and Tottenham go through..

Final result IMO will be a narrow win 1-0 or 2-1 maybe even 2-0 but I see no reason why we should concede 2 again...

I agree completely!

Should be an objective, not an obsession. Performance drops and you choke when something is an obsession.

I think 3-1 us. We will get up 2-1 and score one late while they push. I dont see them being able to cope with us for some reason. They will want to come out and force their game on us. That plays into Maxs hands I think. He knows what they will ddo so he has the tactical advantage. If we put clear chances away in this match we will have a good day. Remember we could have been up 4-1 in the first half last match

Dominating your league and most CL teams, playing dominant attractive attacking football is what gets the world to sit up and take notice. Its why everyone is watching PSG and City closely even though they have not won anything yet.

Winning the CL playing crap football throughout will barely make a difference to the size of our fanbase. Kinda like how Inter won it and even they didnt play as ugly as we do.

I'd take 2 CL finals playing proper football that even neutrals can enjoy and share on social media over winning the CL in the Chelsea manner anyday. Well.. no I take that back.. I'll take the win to break the fucking curse but from a financial and branding perspective I'd take the good football even if it means regularly reaching the semis.

Completely irrelevant to post, how many orgasms did you have after Eriksen scored the FK?

Where was this great football from Psg against Real?

Man city are playing in the most popular league which also promotes itself well. Add the hype Pep gets every day and there you go.

With Psg the talk is only about big signings like Neymar. I dont think french league has become more popular. How is one team dominating helping it?

I dont get your point. Do u mean we played good football reaching those 2 finals or not?

Also didnt we play good football with wc names all over the field with Lippi and still lost those finals. We even largely dominated against Madrid 98 and then they win. And 2003 final was not great but who wouldnt have liked to win it. Ifs and buts without Nedved and such heartbreak for Buffon who was immense.


Im not sure how much playing sexy football will boost our finance? Gloryhunters will buy the shirts of teams who win it. This sounds like mid00s Arsenal. Playing good football at the time but winning shit all.

Exactly my point! and yet their fanbase is growing and are being perceived more as CL favorites than we are. People are excited about them because they dominate 99% of the time and play attractive football even though in big games against actual top opposition they come short.

From a marketing perspective, its better to be attractive and dominant but finish in the semis o the final than win the CL a la Chelsea or reach the final a la Juve.

Lot of stupid people out there. Everyone can be considered favorite before ball was kicked. I sure didnt consider psg cl favorites just because Neymar. They didnt buy any good defensive players. They have a nobody goalkeeper. Heck i thought they missed Matuidi against Real. Buy flashy names but not build quality XI. Again nobody goalkeeper.

They basically did a football manager videogame transfers. And get caught by Real who has a better all around team XI.

Oh and i really dont think average fan checks french league.

So fans only like attacking football but I don't agree with you that fan base has not increased in last few years our fanbase has increased due to our performance in UCL and serie a
