OFFICIAL FOOTY THREAD ⚽️: Rodri wins 2024 Ballon d’Or

[Bosa]

Napoli with the best chances to reach finals. Hell yea

 

[Sinner]

Welp.

 

[haicheo]

Gotta see how the Serie A unfolds now, surely they have a huge lead but the focus on the Quarters should see them rest a few of their stars.

Chelsea RM again isn’t really doing it for me. How do you top the insanity of last season. They also played the prior season. And then all the heavyweight on one side of the bracket annoys me. I remember once upon a time there was a stupid narrative that RM gets easy CL KO draws but we haven’t had a non “5-star” club in forever.

Low key wouldn’t mind drawing El Clasico so we don’t get lured into thinking we can win the league at the expense of a CL run, in part because Carlo doesn’t know how to rotate a squad or make subs before the 82nd minute.

As a Chelsea fan im not suprised by the draw. First it was always getting Liverpool at this stage, then Barca, now Real

For us apparently it’s always getting both Liverpool and Chelsea. Would be nicer if things were mixed up.

New rule: can’t draw someone from your league in knockouts if avoidable or someone you’ve faced in the last two seasons if avoidable. Goal should be as many unique European matchups we can get

On the bright side at least Arsenal don’t have to play Juve during this run up to the end of the season I guess

Man United should be favorites for EL
City/Bayern should be good.
Hope Napoli make it to the final… I might be in Napoli the 2nd to last week in May

are you saying it’s a harder draw?

sevilla is pretty terrible

 

[jape]

city bayern will be

 

[sonoftony]

I betcha he won't even play

 

[Bantz Lord T]

I betcha he won't even play

Isn’t this a given? Has he played at all recently?

 

[Sinner]

 

[Armada]

538 clearly not factoring in the “it’s Real” variables

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Sevilla is the easiest draw you could have got, they been playing regulation level most of the season

 

[Gex the Damaja]

I have bayern making it through

Fax but they still have that Europa mystique

They thrive at winning that trophy

[HNL HI]

Can’t say I’m too upset about drawing Benfica in QF

been a bit indifferent about them advancing, props to Inzaghi but the team definitely peaked a few months ago.

maybe this will reignite some fire in them.

 

[Verde Shuttles]

This is good for Ligue 1, Lyon would have been crazy based off the talent pool.

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Lmao Galtier in the mud
