    There's been some amazing games, edge of the seat two legged ties. The games in main have felt like they could could go all the way. Even before the final I think this is the most entertaining and probably the best CL season yet. Thoughts?

    Given the teams, we have, no.

    I say that as a Liverpool fan.

    To expand on that, the best Liverpool team beat the best Barca team, but the two best teams are not in the final.

    Well this isn't the best Barca team. What I'm getting at moreso is that the overall quality of the games, knockout particularly is immense this year.

    Last year was pretty epic too in fairness. The Juve V Spurs games, Liverpool V City, Roma V Barcelona, Juventus V Madrid, Liverpool V Roma, Madrid V Bayern - lots of drama and turnarounds on show throughout the knockouts.

    Even the previous year had the PSG V Barca crackers, City V Monico, Leicester's run, Bayern putting 10 past Arsenal over 2 legs.

    The champions league has just been fairly brilliant craic over the past few years all in all really - best competition in the world at the moment for entertainment.

    Yeah the last few years have been very good to be fair.

    Pity they couldn't liven up the group stages a bit.....majority of them are formalities for the big teams.

    the tournament doesn't really get going until March.

    Yep, go back to 92/93 for quality.

    The CL is like the Euros and the WC. The more you dilute it, well, do I need to explain it any further????

    Greatest? Probably not. Most entertaining? Certainly has been for me :)

    Apart from the Group stages, the knockout rounds have been very entertaining, the re-emergence of Ajax was great to see, United doing PSG, the two semi finals, great entertainment.

    Group stages over last few years becoming very boring, I don't bother tuning in to CL until feb.
