    From Binder Dundat@21:1/5 to All on Tue Apr 11 11:57:55 2023
    I guess the two favourites would probably be Man City and Real Madrid, but I like to think Napoli will pull it off this time.

    Man City v Bayern



    Ederson - Stones, Akanji, Ruben Dias, Aké - Rodrigo, De Bruyne, Gündogan - Bernardo Silva, Haaland, Grealish

    Sommer - Pavard, Upamecano, de Ligt, Davies - Kimmich, Goretzka, Coman, Musiala, L. Sané - Gnabry

    That Bayern lineup looks meh, you can never win a game with Leroy Sane in the lineup.


    Benfica v Inter

    Benfica have been quietly getting it done, I think they have a youngish team and will probably lose/sell players next season.

    Pep not overthinking things for a change, and City cruising to a 3-0 win. OK, not exactly cruising, because it was quite even for about 60 minutes, but then Bayern fell apart. Dayot Upamecano (milivella's FS pick) with a truly horrible night.

    Benfica v Inter

    Benfica apparently dominating in all the meaningless stats, Inter up 2-0. Football sucks


    So probably an all Italiano semi finale...

    Ah, so Inter will play the winner of Milan v Napoli in the semi, while manc Ity will play the winner of Chelsea v Real Madrid.

    AS for the game, Leroy was not the worst bayern player out there, but from attacking perspective bayern had nothing. Man City won convincingly enough even if it was typical "boring domination" of the game, Haaland was really quiet so only scored one
    goal and one assist. As it turns out Man City and bayern were favourites to win this cup, with napoli and then Real Madird, which I find a bit weird, but so be it.

    Was hoping more from Benfica in the other match, but they lost 2-0 and the dream is over.

    Tomorrow is Napoli v Milan, which happens to be the game i watched a week or two ago, in that match, Milan were comfortable winner, so I dont know, was Napoli taking it easy as they have the title already, is Milan their Bogey team or are they in bad
    form now?

    Chelsea v Madrid has a Chelsea team with whoever the latest manager is leading them vs a Madrid team that can only win the Copa del Rey or the Champions liga this year and i dont think anyone would be shocked if they somehow manged to with the UCL. I
    suppose the only thing Chelsea can win is the UCL, so maybe they might be up for it and pull off a win, but based on the season so far, I doubt it.

    It is hard to not pick Man City to finally win it this year.

    Madrid 2-0 Chelsea
    Saw this coming. Lampard again, LOL. Boehly really is the Ted Lasso of EPL owners.

    Milan 1-0 Napoli
    Did not see this coming. For Napoli, the best Serie A team since the heydey of Juventus in the mid 10s, to go out to a lesser team from their own league would be tragic, for both Napoli and Serie A itself.

    In other news, Mane punched Sane in the face yesterday.

    We all saw this coming!

    Did you see Todd Boehly on the TV [Sky Sports News] predicting a 3-0
    Chelsea win before the match?

    What a fucking clown!

    I did see this coming. Well, I had it down as a home win on my coupon.

    Not hard enough probably! Leroy Sane is a lazy bastard.

    So CBS is broadcasting this on free tv, not sure when that started. Not only that Ray Hudson is the announcer tripping the
    light fantastic
    Sane of course wastes a great chance, not that I expect Bayern to pull it off .
