Some stat
Predictably, Liverpool are the only Premier League team to have knocked both Barcelona and Real Madrid out of the Champions League in knock-out ties.
In fact we’ve never lost a knock-out European Cup/Champions League tie to a La Liga team.
The cream rises to the top
Grazie Roma.
Bayern v Roma
Juve v Real
Seville v City
Barca v Liverpool
Liverpool v City
Barca v Real
Roma v Juve

Five of those teams have won 29 European cups between them. It’ll be 30 by end of season
Man City, a team with no European pedigree are 3-1 favourites to win it out from here
European aristocracy
I’ll be laying the shit out of that.
