nah, liverpool will fucking spank barca
What's the opinion of Portuguese Era on who is the greatest Portuguese footballer of all time? Eusébio or Cristiano?
He wasn't "looking" Hleb IS a top player
I'd allow it.Can you imagine Ajax destroying R Madrid, Juve, City and Barça in that order to win the Champions League? It would be glorious and I wouldn't even be mad.
Eh, we'll see. Barça hasn't done too well in this stage of the CL for the past 3 years (with Messi and all). It's not so much an issue of quality, it's more like something (mentally) isn't fully kicking in for them for the past couple of seasons. They've still dominated the League and Cup too, which makes it extra weird.Barca v United is gonna be an absolute shitshow. Can't wait for Messi to spin 2 English clubs on his way to the final.
Guardiola started with a Barca side that seemed at the end of a cycle and he had the balls to kick out some players who were clearly at the end of their run like Ronaldinho, downplaying his work there just as him being lucky that he found a team with all that talent is odd to say the least, and trying to take Liverpool as an example of virtuosity when this summer they spent 70 million on a goalkeeper and much more on other players is disingenuous, if they'll win a trophy it wiil be 'cause like any other top club in Europe they spent lots of money on good players (not trying to discredit Klopp's work btw).
The "he should go in a smaller club with a smaller salary" talk is also nonsense, coaches are professional, asking them to renounce to money and better means at their disposal just to prove some point to god knows who is fantasy talk.
Heh.Grandia can you predict Liverpool winning the PL please?
And Porto is the best team to draw by far, I don't want to sound overconfident if we perform like we did last year when we beat them 5-0 away from home, we will do well.

Noooo
Don't want to get ahead of myself but a Liverpool - Barcelona semi final would be tasty. Would be interesting to see the reception Coutinho and Suarez get at Anfield.
4 Wolves players :lolSome surprises in Portugal's selection for the Euro Qualifiers:

Didn't even know Dyego Sousa was Portuguese tbh. There's also been zero rumours of him being called up in the press, so that makes it even more impressive. Could be a a nice "classical" striker for us though.
João Felix also comes as a surprise. Pretty young (19) and basically skipping the U-21 team too. Jota I think is a return? Unsure, but given his season it's not that surprising.
