What the fuck is all this shite? What fanny thought this was a cool format?
Automatically? 2 should qualify. Given the difficulty, wouldn’t surprise me if 3 of even 4 make it.
Madrid Bayer and us are certainties.
What are you on about !? It's one league.
Which is why just finishing in the Top 8 is good enough and will see us seeded for the last 16.
________
The top eight sides in the league will qualify automatically for the round of 16, while the teams finishing in 9th to 24th place will compete in a two-legged knock-out phase play-off to secure their path to the last 16 of the competition. Teams that finish 25th or lower will be eliminated, with no access to the UEFA Europa League.
What do you think I’m on about.
Of the 8 teams we face, how many will qualify? I think potentially 4 of us could given the difficulty of our games.
I understand how the qualification phases work out, I was responding hypothetically if we were in a “group” with the teams we were drawn too.
That looks about as tough a draw as we could realistically have got.
Arsenal: Paris Saint-Germain (H), Inter (A), Shakhtar Donetsk (H), Atalanta (A), Dinamo Zagreb (H), Sporting CP (A), Monaco (H), Girona (A)
Manchester City: Inter (H), PSG (A), Club Brugge (H), Juventus (A), Feyenoord (H), Sporting CP (A), Sparta Prague (H), Slovan Bratislava (A)
Manchester City: Inter (H), PSG (A), Club Brugge (H), Juventus (A), Feyenoord (H), Sporting CP (A), Sparta Prague (H), Slovan Bratislava (A)
It's almost as though I did read about it all that while ago and my brain healed itself from the trauma.
It's ok...will make it sweeter when we win the whole fucking thing
This is a ridiculous system. So our tally of points from 8 tough fixtures is measured against teams who have spawned a load of easy games. Villa and City have had great draws. Ours is as tough as we could possibly have got, all in all. Slot better be ready to play with the big boys.
Even more so when you have the likes of Celtic, who were 3rd seeded, get this kind of fixtures: Leipzig, Dortmund, Villa, Atalanta, Club Brugge, Young Boys, Dinamo Zagreb and Slovan Bratislava
Isn’t that the point of the 9th-24th placed teams get another go to qualify? To even out the odds of getting the initial 8 tough fixtures?
It's bollocks is what it is. I don't like it. I don't like it one bit.
It is, it absolutely is.
All this so they get a third more games for the viewers or to be more precise profit of.
Or it’s a watered down super league…
Fuck the Superleague
If city get away with it I’ll be “up the super league”
The greedy owners of the clubs wanted it. The club is the community of supporters around the team, and the supporters didn't want it.
the Superleague would have been better than this shitshow
Nononono, those were different lizards. The wrong lizards.
Top 8 through to round of 16
9-24th play off in a two leg tie to make up the other 8.
Bottom 8 eliminated from everything.
