They didn't hold back they were outplayed, remember that Man city were playing with Doku, Haaland and Cherki in attack, they tried the best they can

They had respect for Man City and did not press high up the pitch. They were a tad conservative

Did you watch Galatasaray against Ajax and Bodo/Glimt, especially against Bodo/Glimt.
They were all about intensity and adrenaline. Very few teams can match up.
The game against Man City in the second half, came to a point where Man City iwanted to tone down the game's pace.

Galatasaray should take advantage of their team's intensity and stamina.

Number 3..
Might this open the door for Osimhen to move to Juve?
Knowing full well Spaletti's impact on his game that season..
The problem is, Juve would struggle to pay what he's earning at Gala..
Should be two good and entertaining games nonetheless
Gala can spring a surprise if they get their acts together
Juve aren't having the best of seasons..

Atalanta and Dortmund
Both teams have been inconsistent this season..
Difficult one to predict..


Looks to me like the end of the road for Olympiacos and Club Brugge

opes:
Borussia Dortmund vs Atalanta.
Bayer Leverkusen vs Olympiacos.
Juventus vs Galatasaray.
Atlético Madrid vs Club Brugge.
Newcastle vs Qarabag.
Paris Saint-Germain vs AS Monaco.

They are meeting again oo

I feel for French football
As Monaco and PSG..
Sadly one will have to leave

Bodo Glimt!!
This stubborn and fearless group of players!!
They will fancy their chances against Inter, especially at home..
But over 2 legs, I expect Inter's superiority to prevail..

But this is football
Anything can happen

Borussia Dortmund vs Atalanta.

Wow 5 out of 6 EPL teams made it to r16
Barcelona, Bayern Munich & Sporting, the non English teams that could make it
Let’s see if Mourinho’s goalie will score again or it was a fluke, Real Madrid will definitely seek revenge

🟡🔵 Fenerbahçe are closing in on Ademola Lookman deal with Atalanta!

Following new meeting today, deal at final stages for €40m package — with add-ons included.

More steps needed on payment terms and bank guarantees as key steps to get it done.

I read a report that said the first phase of the UCL favours the English teams because of their bigger squads and the next phase of the UCL would favour other teams especially as the epl games would be coming faster back to back..
Let's see if that holds true..

I'm thinking we will have 6 English teams in the round of 16 anyway
Newcastle should clear Qarabag

Football is changing
Its getting more difficult for top European teams to pay Africans big money

I think EPL teams are just battle tested
If you ask me I think the style of play in EPL is what helps their teams in this Ucl edition
Pure physicality, although in the late stages of the UCL or season fatigue may set in
EPL is the toughest league
Teams like Bournemouth can beat a Man City if city don’t come with their best on good day
I rarely see small teams do that to Barcelona i

Captain Ndidi is there too.

Inter offer was reasonable, but Atalanta refused to sell. Remember Lookman will be 29 this year.

How much is his pay?

Athletico no drop offer na
And besides, Simeone will step down at the end of the season
The new coach might not fancy him

That's always the difference

Diaspora youth prospect Jamal Jimoh scored his first goal for Aston Villa last night.

I’m very happy for Jamal Jimoh as he scores his first European goal tonight for Aston Villa. 🔥🔥🔥 https://t.co/oOUtsqh3d5 pic.twitter.com/0wRmo7wl7b

This is Buchi 's take..

See the last paragraph

truth

So if you combine the wages offered by both Athletico and inter Milan, it still falls short of what fenerbache offered..

Omo
Na wa oh
