It’s too bad Ajax is a feeder program.

No bueno for Spurs

BlueFrog

That’s actually the weakest-looking final 8 I can remember seeing in a long time

chilango

RIP Real Madrid

3/15/19 6:10am

And no Bayern, PSG, Atletico, BVB, even Chelsea or Arsenal.

chilango

Yes... but RM is head and shoulders above those teams. Who, as you know, won

3/15/19 6:19am

yeah, but Ronaldo

Um, you do know that there is a such thing as cycles?

Bayern, Chelsea, and Arsenal are weak this year

Coop

Germany as a whole is getting weaker. They got bounced from WC in the Group Stage, got demoted in the Nations League,

And they need to change their model. I think I've heard Bundesliga officials

You’re underrating the EPL

Odysseus

3/15/19 6:29am

Maybe. But also Porto & Ajax?

chilango

3/15/19 6:39am

Ajax who just beat Real Madrid

Crazy Duck

3/15/19 6:40am

Madrid is nowhere as good as they have been in past years.

3/15/19 7:42am

Yeah, but still. One flukey night...

Per 538, Porto and United are the misfits. Ajax is fine.

Joe Banks

3/15/19 6:41am

Yeah, I agree that they are even weaker than Ajax.

chilango

3/15/19 8:05am

Seems pretty normal to have a couple underdogs in the quarters

Odysseus

3/15/19 6:43am

When was the last time Real, Atleti, Bayern, PSG, and Chelsea were all absent

chilango

3/15/19 8:08am

Says more about those teams than about the ones remaining.

scootsy

3/15/19 8:12am

I don't understand what you're getting at. The better team advanced in each

Odysseus

3/15/19 8:22am

Very debatable. There were a few flukey upsets in the first knockout round.

chilango

3/15/19 8:29am

Maybe it's not just because Athletico or PSG or Bayern or RM suck.

unctoothman

Atlético never bought their way to anything

Coop

3/15/19 9:30am

Yeah, they're more on the earned it end than the bought it end.

unctoothman

3/15/19 11:23am

Or maybe there are sometimes upsets and flukes in sports, and the better team

chilango

3/15/19 9:42am

Especially in this Game of association football.

Hala sour grapes!!!

Coop

3/15/19 7:45am

Nah, just a factual observation. I'm satisfied with 4 out of 5 and had no

chilango

3/15/19 8:13am

Yeah, 4 out of 5 is incredible

Coop

3/15/19 8:20am

PSG crashing out is the norm.

mobomanjoe

Ronaldo owns the UEFA CL right now
