Champions League 24/25 | Matchday 4: November 5-6 (Amorim vs 115 charges)

I think most top teams have declined over the last few years. I don’t watch many European games anymore but when I do they are mostly average. I’d say Real are the only ones who’ve stayed at the highest level. City is hanging on.
I would agree, though Real have dropped as well, they are currently not the highest level.
 
If someone told me 2 years ago that Raphinha would score a Champions League league hat-trick for Barcelona vs a Bayern Munich side with Harry Kane leading the line and Vincent Kompany as manager, I’d have referred them to a specialist for brain injuries.

What an absolutely bizarre thing to witness. You can’t play Bundesliga fodder every week Vinny!
 
God commentators need to stop blowing haaland.

He had no idea where that was going after he threw his foot at it.
 
Time to give Nunez a rest. Played well but I can see him giving up a major foul any minute. He’ll be coming off.
 
We needed to get their manager to finally get revenge. Hansi Flick is an amazing manager.

People who use the woeful Upamecano as a stick to beat de ligt with need their heads examined. All he proves is that Bayern made a mistake choosing him over de ligt
 
Di Maria is such a cnut. Very irrational amount of ill will towards him.
They have Di Maria PLUS Otamendi. They might be the most disliked Benfica team ever. Not even Benfica fans like Otamendi
 
Kompany's tactical mistakes coming out.

Having Guerriro as RB, constantly coming inside because he's left footed has left Barca's right flank completely open the whole time. It's astonishing he hasn't seen this earlier and changed it.

I understand their two RBs are injured but you have Kimmich who has played RB at a very high level throughout his career. It's ironic that Guerriro has played as a very capable CM as well so it makes more sense to have their positions shifted so Kimmich can give not protection on the wing.
 
Kim and Upamecano are dumb and dumber

Can’t believe they sold us De Ligt and kept them. Kim to be fair was good at Napoli but has struggled massively at Bayern. I don’t think I have ever seen Upamecano play well.
 
Not sure how much of this is on Kompany. They have a goalkeeper who can't pass the ball or make standard saves, a clown show at centre back, and have been on the receiving end of some brutally clinical play.
 
So are Bayern fans expecting Kompany to be sacked tonight ? High standards and all that.
 
Not sure how much of this is on Ten Hag. They have a goalkeeper who can't pass the ball or make standard saves, a clown show at centre back, and have been on the receiving end of some brutally clinical play.
Sounds like one of our games.
