Listen you fucking foreign cunts, it might be hard to believe but im actually a fucking Leicester fan for fuck sake. I've been on this fucking ride since before you were fucking born. I still have the Don't Go Martin card in my loft for christs sake.

Latch on to whatever club you want, but don't go assuming everyone is a bandwagon cunt. I've waited my whole fucking life to see us in Europe again. Dad took me to Athleti at Filbo in the 90s and won't ever forget the feeling.

It's hard to do it since the PL and Serie A didn't really turn to shit until very recently. But yeah, other than when they got Man Utd in 2013 and Atletico in 2015, Real has gotten ridiculously easy draws since the Mourinho era.

Monaco had to upset Galacticos and Chelsea (Abramovich had already started pouring his millions at that time).

First of all, we are talking about CL. Try to keep up. Nobody gives a shit about your silly local league.

What you are suggesting about the CL is so stupid, it is beyond comprehension. The competition, besides changing names, has changed formats many times. Was Ajax CL trophy in 1996 more or less relevant than the current one, given that only 16 teams made it to the group stage, and only the previous year's local league winners participated? That system resembles more that of the pre-CL tournament than the one we have now. But following your "name of the competition is the only thing that matters" logic, it counts.

I know you are under a lot of stress, what with Ahmed taking over your country, but just try to look things up before you speak.

team turnover from top clubs are very little m8. All of them still have their top core players with the addition of one top player and some rotational players.

>>67363906
To be fair, the quality of the round of 16 opponent depends if you top the group or not.

If you don't, you most likely get drawn against a good team like it happened to Real in 2013 and if you do, you get a shit team like Schalke, Gent or Arsenal.

Nothing can excuse how lucky they have been with the quarterfinal draws outside of 2015, though

Not like they changed. They've made CL semis w/o Di Maria and with James.

They changed managers 3 times and have still made it, meanwhile other top teams have still kept their core intact.

And to be fair Barca haven't beaten Atleti in a game that mattered (see La Liga 2014 and CL 2016)

Had they faced anyone else, they would probably be facing Halal in the finals.

That fact of the matter is Halal made it to the finals this year; not really the club's fault they didn't receive any "unfavorable" draws

And a lot of strong matchups that Halal have gotten have gone their favor.

Having four English and Spanish teams makes it more legit than a tournament that has Barcelona, Bayern, Chelsea, Juventus and PSG facing the champions of Bulgaria, Switzerland, Finland and Cyprus.

It's just that England always wastes its 4th spot with Arsenal.
>>
>>67362571

Being a Madrid fan I was always aware that Shitty was Shitty, and about Wolfsburg and Roma, well, there might be 5 or 6 non-spanish clubs above them.

It's just that last year when El Farça was playing PSG's and Shitty's load of people made it sound like memorable games against top-tier competition for El Farça.

Are you a Farça fanboy, anon?
