OlympicsFan 781 Posted March 15, 2019 #171 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Pretty much the expected draw. City, Juventus and Barca are by far the 3 best teams and UEFA wants them all in the semifinal (alongside Liverpool). Would be a huge surprise if the final wont be between 2 out of City, Juventus and Barca. I dont like any of those teams, but Barca winning the title would be the least bad of those 3 bad options for me.

I think Liverpool is more popular than Juventus, maybe City too. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

I thought people were fed up with that after seeing this 72 times a year for a good number of years in the billion editions of 'El Clasico' (always presented as something huge even when it happened so often it barely was even special anymore) If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

I also remember a while ago that some Dortmund official claimed that Dortmund had 10 million fans in Germany alone, which of course is complete bullshit. Often those numbers are based on facebook followers or something like that ... United and Real are clearly the 2 most popular clubs, then Barcelona and after that there are 8 clubs on about the same level in my opinion (AC Milan, Juventus, PSG, Bayern, Arsenal, City, Liverpool, Chelsea). Ronaldo makes Juventus interesting, but he is probably their only world class player right now and overall the football City plays is much more entertaining.

I know none of the current players had anything to do with that time, but speaking about the club as a whole, it'd be cool to see them kicked out especially by the team they robbed all those years ago Edited March 15, 2019 by heywoodu If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
