At least one another win at home against Inter in the next CL game and BMG is safe! (for the next round)

BMG lost to Inter, which means that we will see to decisive games in group B.
The team of Marco Rose needs at least a draw to reach the next round, but i think Real Madrid will do everything possible to get the W. Also head coach Zidane wants to stay.

Charles De Ketelaere.
Next big thing coming from Belgium.

He had a good game yesterday.
Maybe he even can help his club against Lazio to reach the round of sixteen next week...

It's crazy that there is a chance that Leicester having qualified for the knockout stage of the Europa league could play Real, PSG, Spurs and Arsenal on their way to the final. :-)

With the players of PSG, i don't think that they will loose their last game against Instanbul. that's safe!
To me, it is more interesting if the Real players want keep Zidane as their heach coach and secure their ticket to the quarter finals or if there are players who can't stand Zidane and play against their coach.

I'm sure you are right I just thought it would have been funny. Manchester could have put a nail in the PSG coffin last night, now it's more likely they end up in the Europa League.

Furthermore, they (only currently 9th seed) also have two important games in the Premier League: West Ham United before the game against Leipzig and after Leipzig they have to play the derby against Pep's ManCity.
So in my eyes, OG Solskjaer hasn't possibilty to rest certain players...

Tactical genius Antonio Conte eliminated in group stage.

Wonder what strange excuse he will find this time for his failure.

Inter even missed the EL!

Hope he gets fired after this, this is such a poor management of the team, Jesus. Should've let him go after the Europa League final.

Manchester United could also face the same problem. I don't think OLS will have no big future as head coach. Recently i read some articles that Thomas Tuchel could be his successor.

Tbf, Inter really hasn't got that good of a squad.
A lot of castoffs and retirement ready players (Vidal, Radja, Young, Eriksen, Handanovic, Sanchez, ...)

The squad needs a lot of improvement if they want to win something.

They spent 300 mil. on new players in the past not even two years with Conte.
I have to assume the retirement ready roster was assembled based on his wishes.

No doubt. Is such a poor constructed team with some questionable decisions. It looks like for every good addition they had to buy 4/5 bad players.

Under Conte they add for example (same position)

Hakimi (great one)

Valentimo Lazaro
Ashley Young
Moses
Darmian

What the hell!

I've been saying that he's a super bad coach since the end of his first season in Juve. I've been a Juve fan since 2002 and he's by far the worst coach we've had over the past 18 years. Even geezers like Zaceronni had more sense.

That's a bit unfair. He won 2012 scudetto as the outsider against a stronger team like that Milan.
Ferrara has been the worst Juve coach over the last decades.
