January 18, 20205 yr Author Just read this will be the first time the knockout stages will only feature teams from the top 5 leagues.
February 4, 20205 yr This is back in 2 weeks time! Pep Guardiola has said that he will be judged as a failure as Manchester City manager if he doesn't win the Champions League with the club. It feels like this is the season when the pressure on them to win the competition is at it's highest level. It's a shame Ajax didn't make it to the knockout stage, the run that they had last season with a young squad was great to see.
February 5, 20205 yr Again Manchester City will fall short in their bid to win the Champions League, I reckon.
February 14, 20205 yr Manchester City have been banned from European competition for two seasons for breaking Financial Fair Play regulations. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51510284
February 14, 20205 yr Hmmm I'll believe that after all the appeals. Weren't PSG 'banned' then magically reinstated?

February 14, 20205 yr Wow this is huge news! This means that whoever finishes 5th in the league this season will qualify for the Champions League. Manchester City will pretty much have nothing to play for in the league for the rest of the season.

I'm sure it will be the source of much amusement if Man Utd finish fifth and get into the Champions League as a result :lol:
February 14, 20205 yr We'll see after the appeals. Apparently they could face a points deduction from the Premier League.
February 14, 20205 yr I'm sure it will be the source of much amusement if Man Utd finish fifth and get into the Champions League as a result :lol: I'd say that even more amusement would be caused by the team that finishes in 6th place and still misses out on Champions League football. I wouldn't be surprised if Man United finish there. This ban affects the Europa League as well so it might be possible for Aston Villa to qualify for that tournament even if they don't win the Carabao Cup final.
February 14, 20205 yr At least this means that Sheffield United could potentially get Europa League, even Everton at this rate!
February 15, 20205 yr Well it will be an unique position then where the battle is for the fifth place for the final Champions League place.
February 18, 20205 yr What a player Erling Haland is! He'll be a future Ballon Dor winner the way he is going. His 2nd goal for Dortmund tonight was awesome, the match as a whole was not what I expected it to be considering how attacking both Dortmund and PSG are but it's just about the right result as PSG in particular were poor apart from the build up play in the goal they scored. It's quite evenly balanced now after the away goal for PSG. A bit of a reality check for Liverpool losing 1-0 to Atletico Madrid but I would still expect them to make it through to the quarter finals as they've got a very strong record at Anfield.
February 18, 20205 yr Author Wonder why united didn't go all out for Haaland? Yeh Athletico was always going to be a tough tie for Liverpool or any team so don't know how we were brought back down to earth - in a one off game anyone can beat anyone and I would be hugely surprised if we win it this year again.
February 18, 20205 yr Surprisingly still unable to crack European away days! Not even a shot on goal, what world is this? I'm sure they'll win comfortably at Anfield still. Glad I kept patience with the Dortmund PSG match.
February 18, 20205 yr Author It's nights like this id love to have bt to watch the Dortmund game, sounded a cracker. Kind of knew how the Liverpool game would go Truth he told!
