Champions League 2012/2013 Thread

Would be fun to allocate a random team to 32 members here, making the Champions League more interesting! Interested?

I'll throw my hat in there

Serie A's not the same anymore, it's a pale shadow of the league it used to be. The Juve manager is banned for the full season as well. Would steer well clear if your having a bet.

Name the 10 better teams than Juventus

What so someone gets a team such as Man United and have to stick with that team throughout the Champions League

Is that how it works?

Yeah pretty much, just another way to make the Champions League more fun

As i agree with groundandpound I will name 6 clubs that in my opinion ARE better then Juve...

Chelsea
Real Madrid
Man United
Man City
Barcelona
Bayern Munich

With arguably these sides who are all on par at least, if not better...

Arsenal
Dortmund
Milan
PSG

Could possibly put Valencia in the mix, they are a bit of an unknown quantity though.

I agree with your top 6, but Juve are better than Milan, Arsenal and Dortmund, and PSG haven't gelled yet.

Remember this a Juve team that went the whole league season unbeaten!

Same teams as Money_Shot (except Milan). I'll throw Valencia and Porto in there as well. Juventus fall into the Ajax, Benfica, Schalke, Lille type category for me.

Your right about the top six Money that are better than Juventus.

I think though Juventus are on par with Arsenal and Dortmund and are better than AC Milan and PSG.

AC Milan are going backwards in my opinion and are thinking of replacing Ibrahimovic with Bendther, that says it all.

PSG, as said above, still need to gel

I really can't see how Juve are thought of as similar to those teams. They are just a little notch away from the Top 6 mentioned, surely (bar Milan now you mention it)

I'd have to say I see the winners coming from Barca, Bayern, Dortmund or Real.

Barca are Barca & Messi's had a full summer off & has started like a train.... Well he hasn't actually as a train starts slow (Thought I'd state that before some witty shit did!), Bayern Munich look strong & Dortmund's young side have another years experience, Man city will be hard to beat & their defence should sort itself out by the knockout stage. As much as it looks like Chelsea have changed tactics I still think he'd apply the same as last season in this comp especially if they get out of the group.

I don't see Juve causing any more of a problem than say Porto or Arsenal.
