We didn't show up against those teams, which is damn sad, but hopefully there's been a lesson learnt. There's no doubt that this Juve side is much better than both Copenhagen and Galatasaray. At the end of the day we didn't show it, which is a damn shame, but if we play to our potential I would definitely say we're clear favourites in this competition.

But you're right, we have to start showing how we can really play, in Europe.

Our attitude can be very very poor against perceived weaker opposition. We also need to ditch the 3-5-2 in Europe.

Fuk that,

after the embarrasment we just earned yerterday... i expect some screams and tableflips from Agnelli and nothing less.

We should treat the EL as our CL as punishment to our mediocrity, and sacrifice the coppa italia if needed. I want a silver star too, but at this points... we fuking need the $$$$ and the prestige we just lost. At least a little bit of it back would do.

And winning in our own turf would be a beautiful sight...

Still... some of the teams look all but easy .... I hope we are prepared to evade more embarrasments

why is napoli in pot 1? I dont understand, because teams like juve or porto are higher in the UEFA ranking? It's because they finished with 12 points :boh:

@Bayernstar @Badass Vidal We are in pot 2 because the teams in Pot 1 are those who topped their EL groups, and the dropouts from the CL who accumulated the highest number of points. Napoli, Benfica, Shakhtar, and Basel all acquired more points than us in their respective groups.

Its the points counted from the CL for the Champions league 3rd place.
As for the rest, they are there because they came first in their Europa group stage.

I think that's the way it is.

On paper we should win this competition, but as we all know football doesn't work like that.

Spurs or Benfica would not like to face early on in the comp.
