Lol, you in your feelings heavy. 'Sound like a hater,' when three posts before yours I straight up said RM lost to Ajax in CL because we no longer take pride in defending and don't finish our chances in front of goal. Which Madridista doesn't recognize the reality that we're knocked out of our tournament, CL, and also CdR. Not to mention it's obvious we likely won't close the 12-point gap on Barca. It's the very reason Flo sacked Solari immediately and brought back Zizou ASAP. Call Madridistas what you want, I don't care, truth is we always expect to win. In every match, every competition and every campaign.
I'm known for my impartiality on NT so I'm not gonna have you bloviating and ranting like a child. You're upset because I picked MU over your beloved FCB in CL. It's not because I'm anti-Barca in the slighest. I engaged in constructive debates with
@abovelegit1 long before you were even around, who knew far more about the club history than perhaps anyone on here. I've joked with
jape
about OL and Memph. Credit was always properly given when Barca defeated us in the second leg of CdR and following La Liga fixture. Fair play, I can take Ls like a man.
It's an open field this year but Barca are the favorites, IMO. However, I outlined why I'm picking United with concrete points. Again, a difference could be if OGS has the guts to start Dalot at RB over Ash Young. Also Martial's return from a groin injury and finding the right CB pairing to go with Lindelof.
Know your history. FCB's home pitch has significance to Ole. It's where he scored the winner vs. Bayern in the '99 final. Don't act like Barca is invincible. No club is. Look back at 2008. MU held y'all scoreless over two legs and VdS didn't have much to do in net. That's with Rijkaard marching out an attacking 4-3-3 with the likes of Leo, Eto'o and Don Andres. Henry coming off the bench.
I welcome healthy debate but best believe, you better come with facts. And when you come at the King, you best not miss.
