crovitlaci 177 Posted March 20, 2016 #61 Share Posted March 20, 2016 It's actually Madrid who ALWAYS gets the weakest possible opponent to play with, Barca and Bayern (who wouldn't be there if referees didn't rob Juve) aren't suspicious. Here is something about it: Since Florentino came back at the head of real madrid, in 14 champions league draws of 1/8 and quarters, Barça, Bayern, Chelsea, PSG, Juve, Arsenal, Milan, City and Inter met up to 24 times between them. Never against Real Madrid who, in these same 14 draws, faced Apoel Nicosia, Galatasaray, CSKA, Schalke 04 twice, twice Lyon, twice Spurs, Roma, BvB in ruins, a United in ruins (because real madrid finished 2nd of its group), Wolfsburg and Atleti.Real avoided Bayern 7 times, Inter 3 times, Milan 4 times, Arsenal 4 times, Barça 5 times, Chelsea 5 times, Juve 5 times, PSG 7 times, City 4 times.

I think there are 105 possible draws and in 45 of them we have Bayern-Barca, Barca-Real or Real-Bayern. Edit: Why did you put the 8/8 in there? You wanted to make it more intuitive? I dont really see the intuition behind it, could you please explain (maybe with a PM)?

Without the referees mistake it still wouldve been only 2:0 for Juve, so noone can tell if Cuadrado wouldve scored if Juve already wouldve been up 2:0 ... Of course we can also talk about the first match, where for example Mandzukic shouldve seen a red card. In 2014 for example Real had to play against Bayern in the semifinal and i think Atletico or Chelsea might have been even easier opponents for them. In addition to that Real often gets very difficult groups. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

heywoodu 13,540 Posted March 24, 2016 #64 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Rumours (but unfortunately they seem to be true) in Dutch media that Johan Cruijff has died at age 68. 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!
