@Cicero_Dandi the biggest spoofer there is. He hasn’t a clue.

Mickey Mouse League.

The evidence was there

@Sidney

As an Arsenal fan once said, the balance of power between La Liga and the Premier League, it’s turnin’, bro, it’s turnin’.

@Sidney

I think the shift in the balance of power towards the Premier League that was already in evidence last year has been amplified this year. I’d expect all four Premier League teams to advance and if the quarter-final draw allows it, which it probably won’t, all four could even advance to the semis.

@the_man_himself

What evidence last year?

People say the PL is going to make a comeback every year but its been a long time at this stage and I’d still back Juve, Real, Barca and Bayern against any of them

@Sidney

Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham played the best football of any teams in last year’s tournament.

In truth, Tottenham threw away their tie against Juventus while Salah’s injury completely changed the final, and even then Liverpool handed the game to Real Madrid.

I think all of the four continental teams you mention will find it very difficult to live with the pace of the Premier League teams. Juventus can usually nullify pacey teams but there’s always one match in the knockout stages where they get run ragged.

Well done mate. La Liga’s ten year reign is over. The king is dead, long live the king

It really shows the power of good managers. The PL always had the most money but were going nowhere until they got the best managers in

[anon78624367]

British Managers have won 11 European Cups. Level with Italy.

[anon32894817]

Have you ever heard of context? Who was the last British manger to win the champions league you ham?

[the_man_himself]

What’s the relevance of this to my post? I didn’t mention the nationality of the managers

[anon78624367]

Relax guys, I was merely making an observation

[Cicero_Dandi]

@anon78624367

British Managers have won 11 European Cups. Level with Italy.

How many of them are alive today?

[anon61878697]

Has it ever happened that one league had 4 clubs in the two European finals ? — Surely one of Arsenal or Chelsea get knocked out tonight — there’s no way all 4 English clubs play off in both finals.

[Raylan]

Also, is there now a possible scenario where the 6th place team gets a Champions League spot?

[Julio_Geordio]

No. Only if the winners of the CL and the Europa were in 5th and 6th.

A third team in France gets automatic qualification AFAIK

[TheUlteriorMotive]

It’s unprecedented. Mickey Mouse from Tyrone has really blundered.

[ciarancareyshurlingarmy]

No because the CL finalists will finish 1st and 3rd in the PL thus not picking up the extra place

I thought he was an Italian Armagh man living in Galway who is a Tyrone supporter?

[Sidney]

He must be hoping to build a solid old gold house
