The Official Champions League 2008/2009 Thread

[Bobbyjames]

so, with the new season starting all around Europe within the last few weeks, all we have left to start now is the Champions League. who do you think will win this year? who are the teams to look out for? any shocks this season? discuss it all in here!

i will try and update this with fixtures and results when i have time

[Druska]

teams to look for?barcelona course

[CIRCUITzach]

soccer?

[Druska]

soccer?

Yes best sport ever

[CIRCUITzach]

manchester united all the way

[Bobbyjames]

id like to say Liverpool, but we have been fairly shoddy at the start of the season, and only just qualified for the group stages of the Champions league. im guessing the usual teams will be up there towards the end, Barca, Real Madrid, Man Utd, Chelsea, maybe even Inter Milan

[adrianSum]

i hope we win the 10th this year

[Nettn]

I'm hoping for United as usual, but I don't know. Really nervous about this season, as I know United will have to loose sometime, and winning three Premier League titles and two Champion League titles in a row will be tough and a bit unlikely.

[Bobbyjames]

not many teams have won the Champions League 2 years in a row, he does happen though. and if Berbatov can slot nicely into the team and playing well, them Utd will have one of, if not the best strike force in the world if you ask me

[Nettn]

Yeah I agree. Tevez, Rooney, Berbatov, Ronaldo.. Alltough I believe Ronaldo is going to have a shitty season. He wants to play for Real Madrid and we all know that.

[CIRCUITzach]

would cup thing is coming up isnt it? 2010?

[Druska]

yes 2010 in south africa i think
Btw bobby i think that the bayer munchen won3 in a row

[Bobbyjames]

Real Madrid have won it 5 times in a row before
Bayern Munich have won it 3 times in a row, and Liverpool, Benfica, Inter Milan, Ac Milan and Nottingham Forest have all won it twice in a row. but the last time a team retained their title was in 1990, by AC Milan.

and Nettn, i can see Ronaldo havin a shitty season this year aswell, because he wants to move to Spain, and i just dont think he'll ever beat the form he was in last season.

lol nottingham forest winning the Champions League two times in a row. That must have been ages ago!

Ronaldo was in great form in the 06/07 season and the 07/08 season, something which I think proves that he's the best player in the world, but with everything that has been going on this summer, and with an anckle operation, he will without a doubt have a shitty season..

.

i think they didn't won 5 in a row i'm not sure ...i'll ask my father , they have won it 9times but idk
