2024-25 UEFA Champions League

They now have the champions pathway and the other pathway so you could just let the champions drop to a lower tournament.

Villa giving Young Boys a good spanking

Anyone know how to check the Amazon Prime feed details on an LG TV for Milan Liverpool?

Its a great quality feed.

Great match also.

Pen gets to take some amount of pens for club and country, his stats would look wildly different in another era

Madrid came through a tricky tie, unconvincing though despite 3 1 scoreline.

50+ goals already for Bayern and he’s playing for them little over a year, he’s holding up his end of the bargain.

yeah, how many of those goals made a difference in big game? I’m not saying he’s useless, how could I, but he’s not a man for the big occasion.

Was Dovbyk the only big player who left Girona? Would be good if van de Beek could do well there but him and Miovski just might not be good enough if they want to build on last season

1-0

Only things worse than TNT coverage.

1. Man City "kit"
2. PSG teamwork and will to win

Not a braincell between them, particular dislike for Rio. I look at the former players, how the difference in character going into management putting your neck on the line vs these lads who like the sound of their own voice.

seems to be teething problems with the sound & cameras too. Not impressed so far…

The ‘leaving us in suspense about which team scored’ thing is even lamer than before when you can see the celebration on one of the screens…

You don't get an Irishman scoring a goal in the CL group stages for 13 years and then you get 2 in an hour!

The trouble with expanding the tournament is that there really only 6-10 top class teams most years so they're just diluting it more and more. Seeing all the dregs in one table just seems to accentuate it.

I know it's early days, and seeing Celtic and Villa put on a show in Europe was worth watching, and there's been a few cracking goals, but is it all still a bit 'meh'?

If it was simply about adding more games, would it have not been better to go back to the two group phase format from a few years back? You know, 8 groups of 4 gets whittled down to 4 groups of 4, then into the QF's.

The top teams would have more games against more top teams as they wanted, and likely a little bit less dross in it?

What's this? Teams that aren't Man Utd or Liverpool……?

The group stages haven't been good in years. That's one reason they had the reason or excuse to make the league bigger. Yea, you get one or 2 games OK every year, but a lot of dead rubbers and meaningless games as well. Not much of a change this year, we'll see some good games, and a lot of filler, and the knock outs might redeem it after Xmas, but we'll continue to watch it doromfthe long nights.

Those Doritos, Domino pizzas and Heineken won't sell themselves.... keep watching those ads!

this Arsenal Atalanta match is dreadful. Arsenal really know how to make a game c**p!

Jesus but that was a lonnnnng ass half. Arsenal are getting harder to watch by the week, 4 CBs shielded by, Partay and Rice, 2 primarily defensive players, and now it seems Reya has morphed into John Lucic kicking every ball long as well - George Graham would be proud!

Everyone to their own of course, if you enjoy this type of thing, but this is one expensively assembled Tony Pulis tribute act.

It's time to turn on the Netflix.

Well able to shut a game game down and keep it shut down. Arteta sort of reminds of Benitez in that aspect.

Arsenal games are not entertaining to watch as a neutral.

Brilliant double save/ Wonderful Raya.
