Lol Ronaldo. He might be killing the team but he keeps scoring goals.

Even if they equalized right now it certainly doesn‘t look like the players are fighting for each other. More a display of guys trying to make something happen based on individual skills.

What is Sir Alex Ferguson doing these days?

Games against Bayern are basically over whenever they get the lead.
They have too much offensive firepower to not take advantage when your team needs to play more offensive.

However, when you take advantage of some mistakes in their defense (which happen quite frequently these days) and take the lead yourself there's a fairly decent chance they will get overly aggressive on the offensive end and you can just counter attack them to death.

Too inexperienced this year

Group stage is really a waste of time…wish they would go directly to knockout games.

You think the main objective of the UCL is to crown the best club.

But if it's to make money, that's what all those group stage games are for.


Hmm, City losing to Leipzig, notable.
