The 5-0 bashing of Inter Milan though unprecedented did not tell the true story of Inter Milan's defence in last year's Champions League.

Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by Cocony(m): 11:04pm On Oct 24, 2025
Despite thrashing Inter Milan, PSG conceded a total of 15 goals while Inter Milan conceded a total of 16 goals(5 of which came in the finals) and Inter played 15matches while PSG played 17matches altogether.

In the group phase of the 2023/24 UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE, Arsenal conceded 4 goals, Newcastle 7, Manchester City 7 and Manchester United conceded 15goals. While in knockout , Arsenal conceded 3 goals and Manchester City conceded 6 goals as they both exited at the quarter finals. That gave the English teams a total of 42 goals conceded in 32games. A ratio of 1.3125 goals conceded per game by English teams

For the Italian teams in the group phase of the 2023/24 UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE, Inter conceded 5goals, Lazio 7, AC Milan 8 and Napoli conceded 9 goals.While in the knock out, Inter Milan conceded 2, Lazio 3, and Napoli conceded 4goals .

The above is a summation of the matches played in the 2023/24 UEFA Champions league alone with the best representatives from both countries.

Final wey me and my guys being dey watch for one lounge in GRA but by half time, we just comot go aboki suya stand chop suya till second half is almost done. We went back inside around 78th minute. That's how boring that final is.

The worst UCL final I have watched ever.

I don’t know why someone will say osimhen isn’t epl level

I think that epl level talks should stop this 2025

Even players like Ekitike and woltemade wey I no even rate ,both are finding the epl easy

Is the epl hard ? Maybe yes ,but if you are good you are good under the right system
It won’t, and for good reason too.

From watching the games you know that theEPL is more physical and faster than other leagues on a whole.

To survive, incoming players often have to elevate an aspect of their game, be it physicality, technicality, or even football intelligence.

So, while players like Wirtz and Gbokeres struggle visibly (cos they think they’re enough), you see others like Xavi Simmons upping an aspect of their game while the Woltemades and Ekitike thrive. Those last 2 propbably saw the league as a challenge and were prepared to rise to the occasion from day 1.

For all the players I mentioned, the jury is still out tho.

Lmao
I understand your point. But I’m favor of this proposal if goals will no longer be chalked off because the attacker’s big toe was always of the last defender.
The focus will only move to the defender’s big toe or the attacker’s heel. Drama no go finish grin

I will respectfully disagree and this is coming from an ardent follower of the Serie A for decades now. Right now, if the comparison is against the EPL, we are still behind. A better argument is that the Serie have a good crop of promising young defenders capable of becoming world beaters in 3-4 years. Defenders like Scalvini (Atalanta), Bartesaghi (AC Milan), Comuzzo (Fiorentina) Kossounou like you rightly put (Atalanta), Pavlovic (AC Milan),
EPL teams will buy those upcoming talents

Andrew I see you fighting the good fight grin

In addition Osimhen that isn't EPL level half his European goals were against EPL opposition.
When will you guys realize playing epl teams in the champions league vs playing them week in and week out while playing for an English club is a different ball game. I am not even saying Osimhen will flop in England but as at right now he hasn't done it in the two biggest league.

You Kuku don make am easy for me

As writz and so they struggle na so average players like Ekitike and woltemade Dey find am easy

The best players in the epl are still players who came from other leagues ,so make una calm down abeg

Haaland Bruno aguero any many others found it easy than the so called epl experienced players they met there ,should we even talk about defenders who came from other league to become the best in the epl ?

As for Gykores he will surely get good numbers for arsenal at the end ,and I hope you aren’t expecting Portuguese league numbers ,he won’t even get such in the French league

If you are good you are good and you will flourish under the right system ,spare me all these physicality and faster talks

Isak should really, really step up because he'll be needing all his dribbling skills and all because Salah and Gakpo are not pure wingers who are willing to assist him. Those ones want score too. Gakpo nah cut and shoot, Salah nah cut and shoot.


All those ball wey Murphy, Gordon and Barnes dey pass give Isak no go dey again ooo. He'll have to really work for his goals at Pool.
Ekitake is having no problems scoring with Salah and gakpo so that should not be an issue. If am not mistaken Salah created more chances last season than Murphy and Gordon combined also had 18assists. Salah is always amongst the top 5 for chances created per season plus they also have wirtz. Isak will have no problem getting goalscoring chances at Liverpool.

How? That final was actually enjoyable. Maybe not as competitive as one would have expected but it was fun watching Psg trash Inter.

True....but!

The EPL is the best league in the world no question about this but it's not an extraterrestrial league. My theory about football is that if you're a good player, you'll perform in any league. May not happen immediately but with time you'll show your level. EPL is best because they have they best players and most of these players were purchased from other leagues. Most of the best players in the EPL are all imports.

Defenders like, Milenkovic, Yoro, Timber, Califiori, Konate, Romero, Van Der Ven, Tomiyasu(pre injury), Ruben Dias, Malick Thaw etc...Dean Huijsen was not a regular at Juventus/Roma until he came to the EPL and bossesd it. Ruben Dias came directly from Portugues league and immediately won the premier league player of the season.

I agree that once you're here, you must step up physically, mentally etc in order to match the level but if you're good/focused, you'll do well eventually.

From Serie A, defenders like Lucumi, Ndicka, Plavlovic, Batsoni, Bremer, Kossono, Isak Hien may not really feel out of place in the EPL. They're physically very dominant with good pace/passing.

I rest my case
Ignoring the physicality and speed of the EPL when almost every imported player (and even manager) have attested to it is just being ignorant.

If you are good enough, you will find a way to deal with the physicality and speed, and excel nonetheless. If not, you’ll flop. Simple.
