Title says it all, I dont think Barça can really be a serious contender with Quique Setien, if they lose 2nd leg @ home that'll be the last straw for many Barça fans anyway, on thought of other teams, I think Bayern, ManCity and PSG are the favourites, although anyone that watches the UCL knows PSG is an expert at bottling in the UCL.
 
This thread should be in Health and Fitness, but to answer your question, my money would be on Bayern, though it would be hilarious if Atalanta won.
 
Bayern or Real imo. Never doubt Zizou's magic.
 
I think Bayern have the advantage of already having played their season and having all of their concentration on the Champions League.

But i will support Atalanta Bergamo for the memes.

I'd be surprised if he managed to win on aggregate since they are one down and will play at Etihad, but its Zidane we are talking about so yeah, we could see a remontada

UCL has been soulless shit since 2011. The last team with soul to win was 2011 Inter Milan. After that it has degraded.

It’d be interesting to see an underdog win for once, but its the Champions league you know, that 2010 Inter team was insane, Jose has really degraded since then

The UCL died for me when two things happened, van persie getting fucked over when Arsenal played Barcelona and when Manchester United got fucked over in 2013 when they played Real Madrid. The incidents were years apart but apparently the era of different teams winning it like Porto in 2004 is dying out as the bigger teams accumulate the wealth to buy off players from rivals.

At least teams like Bayern earned it. I think most of the teams that have had these oil investors are going to be hurting after covid. Let’s just hope that is the case so that the oil sheikhs can btfo out of the sport.

I see Lyon winning against Juve, Napoli beating Barca, and Atalanta beating PSG. Should make for a really interesting quarter final.

Disagree, but it wasn’t too much later. Bayern 2013 had 4 players from the academy play in the starting eleven. Plus Heyneckes as coach.

I didnt expect Lyon to actually progress, so Juve & Real are out, my dream Final is Bayern v City or Barça v City :story:
 
Varane should get a beating in the locker room.
 
As a neutral I want either Chelsea or RB Leipzig to win simply because of Pulisic (even though he's out for weeks) and Adams.
