    We're talking about all the games since the competition started this year groups included(where they beat the last year finalist 7-2). Bayern is the only team that have won all their 6 games in the group stages in the last 5 years. Last time someone did it was in 2014/2015 when Real Madrid won their group with 18 points in a group with Basel, Liverpool and Ludogoret

    The two one leg games they played they won 8-2 and 3-0 you think a 2nd leg would have changed things ? lol
    And its a huge flex since this competition started 64 years ago in 1956 and nobody managed to do it not even when you had to play 5 games to win it and it has nothing to do with journalism, they're called records and statistics.

    Psg had a group this year with Real Madrid, Brugge and Galatasaray and they played Dortmund in the 1/8 finals thats not even close to the easiest way in the history.

    Easiest way to a final or even winning the competition was in 1991/1992 when there were only 2 groups and 1st place of each group will go on to play the final
    Barcelona's group was with : Sparta Prague, Benfica and Dinamo Kiev and they played in the Final against Sampdoria winning 1-0.

    Political correctness. I lean more towards people like Mourinho. It makes football more interesting.

    Bayern fully deserved this. Strong contenders already for next year, especially with Leroy Sane in the mix. Mbappe is destined to win the champions league with Real Madrid.

    Yeah specially in this competition named CHAMPIONS league where 3rd and 4th places from different leagues are playing. There was a time when only champions were competing like it should be and it was very close every year with different winners, but these days because of the amount of money champions league bring it's practically impossible for this to happen.

    If players weren’t so fixated on huge wages you’d notice a difference... remember when the premier league had keane, viera, carragher etc it was so much more fun back then.

    Yeah of course I remember, been watching football since 1998 studied journalism just because I was so in love with it and I miss the old days with top quality players in every league, but hey I still like it even though for most of the players it's not a passion anymore it's a job. What can we do, everything is about money nowadays.

    What ? I'm not salty at all I said (earlier) I would have mixed feelings. Its always gr8 to see psv or feyenoord loose but if they would win a European Cup I'd be proud of my fellow dutchies. Nothing more nothing less.

    U should know better calling me, of all f---ing people on this forum PC man lmao
