DC vs Stipe trilogy should be epic.

Also want to see Jairzinho and JDS. A lot of people are writing off JDS which is surprising to me because this man lost to two of the top 4 guys in the division but we saw same Rozenstruik didn't survive 20 seconds with Ngannou

Na so Bayern turn us to motivational speakers ko? grin

This life is not fair o.

Y'all keep motivating yourselves o.

Bayern will flog us. Call me defeatist or whatever idc.

The only thing, the only thing, that will save us is Messi!!!

Only Messi can save us. All these analysis you people are doing is arrant waste of time. Like someone rightly said up there, let's hope we lose humbly.

If Messi doesn't turn up(with what I saw against Naples, he will), or if Bayern are able to hold him, itaf finish.

Y'all need to be seeing things the way they are and stop hoping and motivating each other.

Azzin, like this is the first game of the season grin

If we play that shiit we played against Naples for Bayern, lol. Even Ter Stegen go dey shame to pick ball for back of net cheesy


Maybe Dembouz can, maybe, just maybe. He has a lot to prove, doubters(i still believe in him) wrong.

The only hope is to hope Messi bails is out, else, they're coming back to Barcelona tomorrow

Mandem were talking about Bayern vs Pep reunion. Lyon didn't get the memo apparently. Hope we don't go into the game overconfident. Would have preferred we faced City knowing there would be zero chance of complacency

Anyway I would be furiously rooting for RB Leipzig to beat PSG on Tuesday. It would be MENTAL if they get to the Finals.

Exactly.

Maybe Sane can learn one or two things from him.

Lewy scoring only a goal didn’t go down well with me honestly.
Let him keep some in the chamber for semis and possibly finals abeg. Not like he can be caught

The Blazers can not afford to play the way they played tonight against the Grizzlies or even the Lakers because they will get blown away! They were very poor tonight especially on defense. They looked extremely fatigued with heavy legs. I am worried they may have nothing left for the post season if they don't get themselves together quick. LeVert will defintely have to seek another team once everyone is healthy and back for the Net.
If the Nets GM get sense he go package Kyrie give one sucker GM for draft picks and build with LeVert and KD. Pattern no dey lie.

Celtics have a better record before he came he comes Celtics are worse, he leaves Celtics are better again, he joins the Nets and they have a winning record when he doesn't play. If KD can get out of his feelings. He and LeVert are a much better fit.

I tell una say this Man City no really be threat. Their sharpest striker no dey pitch. If this is what they are going to play against us, then they might as well lose here because the frustration of that Madrid demolition wey him cause, na him we go take out on Pep

True.

But the same Kovac was doing well at Eintracht Frankfurt, just like this Leipzig coach.
Nagelsmann vs Kovac is night and day. I know Kovac won a trophy but in terms of style of play e no close at all

Kovac was not highly rated. His appointment was not welcomed by everyone. He did an okay/decent job at Frankfurt that is all.
There is no comparison between the hype of AVB and the hype of Kovac, exactly because Kovac had no hype.
Maybe you should ask A40 and Dayo or anybody who follows the league closely.

P.S And how does his performance at Frankfurt change my original statement which was that he was clueless at Bayern?
Kovac na normal Bayern alumni parapo. His shock win vs Bayern also had us optimistic as we felt he would wean us off the tiki taka dependency. The idea was he could take us to play like Jupp's Bayern

However we quickly came to realize this man no get any pattern and his cup win na just smash and grab like Roberto Martinez take do City

We all know how he won so tey he couldn't wait to run away. Nah. That ain't a champion in my books or in anybody's books sef.
How is he not a Champion? So who won the Driver's title that year then? He retired from the sport, not like he ran to another team.

He's not raced since so it can be said he was sincere about his motives. Besides he's expected to lose to Hamilton as he's always been the inferior driver but he gave Hamilton a better fight than Bottas

They don't t need him on equal footing with Hamilton, or they'd always be fighting for the same tarmac and ruin each other's chances as happened in 2007 when Raikkonen beat him and Alonso by one point.

I don't care about the form Bayern are in, Messi will decide how the game ends. If Messi tuns up, no team in the world can stop Barcelona...

Boateng and Neuer will be scared seeing Messi take to the field. I hope that in the first 10-15mins, Messi will have the chance to run at Boateng as that will leave Bayern scared.

Talking about motivation, if the players are not motivated by the fact that virtually everyone has written them off then they don't deserve this stage.
Loool where this confidence been come from? Is it the same Barcelona all of us dey watch this season? Messi werey wo grin grin

Mcleo007:
The only reason it is even a 50-50 is because we have a deficient coach who cant take bold decisions and start the right players. Only 4-5 players in this Bayern team will walk straight into this Barca first eleven. A combined eleven of both teams shows its 50-50 and the side that takes the most of its chances would go on to win. It will never be rout.

A combined 11 of both teams' starters:

Goalkeeper= MATS over M. Neur
RB= J. Kimmich over N. Semedo
LB= A. Davies over weak man J. Alba
CB= G. Pique = He is light years ahead of J. Boateng even at the twillight of his career.
CB= C. Lengelet = He is a better Left sided CB to D. Alaba
DMF= S. Buequets= A. Goretzka doesnt come close here
CMF= Its definitely a tie between FDJ and Thiago A. Hard to choose who is better.
AMF= T. Muller over A. Vidal
RWF= GOAT no contest here
LWF= S. Gnabry over A. Griezman
CF= R. Lewandoski over overwieght L. Suarez

5 Barca players
5 Bayern players
A tie between FDJ and Thiago

Bayern are good, but definitely not superior to Barca even if this Barca team has been shit all season and can disappoint when you least expect them. They can also pull up maximum surprises and grind out results when you write them off. Tonights' game is nobodys really and can swing either way. This would be Bayern's toughest game of the season. They faced an amateurish Chelsea side so you can call them super powers at the back of that.

ABOVE all, a motivated Messi on beast mode is something no team canhandle, even when he is battling a knock.
Imagine thinking Ter Stegen is better than his daddy Neuer and thinking Busquets at this stage is nearly as good as Goretzka. Pique? El ho el. You even tied De Jong with Alcantara?

What kind of ridiculous homerism is this? Smh

Anyway was your Messi handled or naah?
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Offical Bayern Munich Fan Thread: 6x Champions Of Europe by A40(m): 11:52pm On Aug 14, 2020
Not enough credit is given to Hansi Flick. I remember the good old days of Niko Kovac and I thank God for little mercies. When I knew that man was different was when I saw him divide pitch into 30 squares as part of his training procedures.


And Alphonso Davies. Omo good scouting will save your team unnecessary spending. Still can't believe that boy is 19. Meanwhile some people want to pay £60m for Ben Chilwell grin grin

Salute to Thomas Müller. We keep hearing of LeBron and revenge season but it's Müller who has had the real revenge season.

10m is not bad for that guy tbh
I will take him as a backup since Coman is always injured anyway. Losing Thiago, Coutinho and Perisic in one summer window is a lot of quality depth anyway you look at it

He is a deep lying playmaker and less of a DM. He is as much to blame as the rest of his teammates. For all his bad moments, he has also had many more brilliant moments as evidenced by his longevity, trophyhaul and recognition as the best in his position.

Today is a very terrible day for the entire team.
Busquets a deep lying playmaker? Lool since when?

All those recruitments are misfits,

Griezman is a direct attacker who suits a counter attacking team more bt Barcelona board decided to buy him for 100M

Coutinho is not a left winger and doesnt have the pace for wing football yet Barcelona bought him for 120M, Coutinho is about to be shipped out by Bayern again or pacy wingers like Coman Sane Gnabry

Dembele is a child who never grew up and is always partying, eating pizza or playing fortinet overnight, Yet Barcelona bought him

The player that fits them best was Neymar and Messi told them he will take a paycut to get Neymar back

Maicon that was on his way to Roma, someone just checked the news saw Maicon and decided to hijack the deal they quickly sold him off,
Someone thought a Vidal at 32 who binge drinks and doesnt take care of himself is a good deal for midfield, WHen Bayern intentionally packaged him and got a younger Goretzka
almost eveyr transfer decision has been a massive fail since they sold Neymar
Barca's destruction has been gradual and systematic. The day Messi leaves that team they will be positively finished.

How do you whiff on recruitments from defense to attack. I've never seen anything like it before

Their only hope for a brighter future is literally Ansu Fati

How is it now that we have a back line of two world cup winners, Alphonso goddamn Davies and Sane, Gnabry and Coman to replace Robbery that he is thinking of a new challenge

Very weird flex. Does he think Liverpool is better positioned in the next 3 years than Bayern, surely he has front row seat to know that this is unlikely

We would likely dominate possession as this current Barca is Messi and inshAllah. No difference Pavard wan make when we have Kimmich. He's hardly a miss

That backline needs to have 100% concentration. Overall I believe we are the stronger team and Barca would likely come with the underdog mindset. They are just not what they used to be and provided we don't do anything stupid, we will surely win

I'm quietly confident Perisic can do a job, he is a big game player but I doubt he gets to start. My eyes though are on Gnabry, he is the kind of guy that can blow a close game open

That was ballsy from Leipzig. They really took the game to Atletico. I still think Naggelsman will stay at Leipzig this seasonu and if Flick gets bored he can come over toBayern

Ulli wanted to have him as youth team coach before Hoffenheim hijacked him for their first team

I want Leipzig to do well because of Werner. Imagine if Leipzig makes the final and Werner is there sending text messages from Chelsea
Leipzig play the game the way it should be played. I will not be remotely surprised if they upset PSG. Let Nagelsmann stay at RB for now, he's only 33 and too young for Bayern wahala.

I no know wetin special for this Chelsea wey e dey rush to go join them. Might have been a blessing in disguise he didn't stay sef.

I heard Coman is fit so attack is set. Thiago and Goretzka go get plenty work for that midfield because I suspect Barca will play a 3 or even man midfield
