Superior Acuña Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I reckon the only way it could potentially be as good would be if we have to wait many decades again, and I'm an old man wanting to relive that distant memory of 2025, possibly alongside a descendent who has never experienced it.

Yorkie Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I see Villa and Forest are on the same side of the bracket for the Europa, which is good. Definitely the harder cluster of teams, with Roma/Bologna waiting for Villa should they defeat Lille, which also feels like one of the toughest draws they could've got. Forest will have to beat the side Ange orchestrated a miserable home defeat to earlier in the campaign (Midj), then Stuttgart or Porto. Last thing we'd want is another all-PL final, so that's something. Fuck all on the other side like, and Lyon and Celta Vigo have each other. Would've assumed they're probably the best of it on that side. Stuttgart-Lyon my optimistic non-PL prediction for the final. Palace have Larnaca again and then Fiorentina, assuming they don't totally shit the bed like they nearly did last night against the Poles. Strasbourg or Samsunspor to meet them in the final most likely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

J7 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I mean winning something is bigger for us, but there’s no doubt it’s the highest profile game the club will have played in.

DC Magpie Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Quote Laia Cervello Herrero, Barcelona reporter: Barca are "as happy as they can be. Their last matches against PSG did not inspire optimism, but they beat Newcastle this season. They went to buy a lottery ticket and won. Not only have Barcelona been drawn against what looks like the most beatable opponent, but in a year in which they are struggling in the Champions League, they have avoided possibly playing former champions PSG, Chelsea, Liverpool, Bayern Munich, Manchester City or Real Madrid until the final. Hansi Flick’s team suddenly have time to improve their defensive frailty before the very end of the competition." This trollop seems quite certain of things. Let's put this up in the locker room for the boys to see, shall we? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
