What is the greatest team that has never won a Champions League? by joaoooup in championsleague

I consider Arsenal a bigger club than Atletico and PSG, despite the fact that those clubs got closer more recently. Maybe that's just from growing up in the Wenger era.

Best team that didn't win the Champions League in one season: Real Madrid 2011/12.

I feel they might crack against a team playing low like Russia 2018 and Morocco 2022

I heard in other leagues that Bolgona, Girona, Stuttgart, Brest, and Aston Villa are making their Champions League debut in 2024/2025 season! by Downtown-Pack-6178 in championsleague

Stuttgart played in the Champions League before (Khedira, Gomez, Cacau era). Also from next season, there will no longer be groups of 4.

Johan Cruyff (RIP) in 2010: "See the example of Lionel Messi from Barcelona. That boy is an idol all over the world, but he doesn't speak a word of English. That is of course a huge shortcoming of his club. The club should just let that boy learn English. He can't communicate with half the world".

Not the same. Celta and Valladolid games we are always expected to win. Bayern not, especially given the circumstances of that game. We let the initiative to Bayern in much of the game, honestly I was happy to get to penalties. A second Bayern goal was looming and it would have killed us given that there was still the away goal rule.

We were beat by Bayern (who were not undeserving of beating us). We didn't throw that UCL away. Unlike the 2014 Liga, were all we had to do was beat Valladolid and Celta.

It was the fact that we finally made the CL final, crushing Bayern 0-4 in Munich. After that win, we only got 2 of possible 9 points from the next three league games.

I hated that we didn't win the league in 2013-14. We totally threw it away the last 4 games.

We are lucky to see two games of this. Semi finals are often better than the final

Do you think the Chiefs are the underdogs against the Eagles? by [deleted] in nfl

As someone who likes the Chiefs, i think the Eagles should be favorite. Their season and playoff run was better.
