No offense to all the other teams and their fans, but we all want a Bayern-Barcelona final right?

Yes, and a Bayern win.
It annoys the heck out of me how Real Madrid strut around with their "decima" titles thinking they are Europe's best. Like OK buddy you won 5 titles in the 50s. Who cares.
I want Bayern to catch up in titles. It starts now.

PS I was curious so I went and looked up the titles/years.
Didn't realize Juve has lost SIX times in the CL final. Ouch.

Why would anyone cheer for a team with Suarez and Neymar on it to make it to the final.

Because we wanna see the best game possible between the clear best two teams in the world? Of course no one wants to cheer for Suarez, but last year's Super Bowl featured two teams no one wanted to cheer for and we got a great game.

So basically Arsenal/Olympiakos is set up like the second game of a 2 legged playoff with Olympiakos leading 3-2.
Arsenal need to win by 2 or more goals or score at least 3 and win. Correct?

Dude just cannot catch a break.

Watching the Bayern game, I was in awe of how their keeper and defenders passed the ball around in tight spaces, under pressure, without resorting to booting it. It was incredible.

And I'm going to bitch more about Bayern, that game was done and dusted after 20 minutes.
I mean, I was getting a new computer system built and installed and I figured "no problem, I've got the Bayern game to watch, the computer will be done and installed by the time the game is over!"
And then they kill off Olympiacos after 20 minutes and the rest of the game was boring as all hell.

Chelsea likely off to the round of 16, United and Arsenal likely off to Europa league. The Premier League just cannot compete in Europe anymore it seems.

I think the Premier League is probably the most even overall in terms of talent but they cannot compete with the top teams.
I read a 'Cristiano Ronaldo to United' story every other day.
United, City, Chelsea and Liverpool have spent fairly big money but would anyone say they're on the same level as Real, Barca, Bayern or PSG in terms of chances to win the Champion's League?

I wouldn't even have PSG in that group. They spend a lot but haven't proven they can win at the top tier yet.
Really the big three right now are Bayern, Barca, and Real. Everybody else is struggling to keep up.
Probably have Juventus, PSG, and the English teams in the next tier.
What really sets the big three apart right now is that not only can they spend a lot of money to attract the best players and big name talent, all three still have good development programs that help develop players from within.

Real have a joke of a manager on the bench, they were just raped by Barcelona at Bernabeu and today they somehow crawl over the finish line vs Shaktar to win 4-3. They do not deserve to be named in the same sentence as Bayern and Barcelona right now.
United woeful today ... that's 90 minutes of my life that I won't get back.

I cant disagree on any particular point, but they're still running away with their CL group. They have quality when they put it together.

Real, Bayern & Madrid have a concentration of their league's top talent though.
If you were to make a best 11 from each league's players, it'd be difficult to pick a winner. Then take into the consideration of the types of play between the different leagues.. ie; softer/divier vs grittier/harder.

Right, but it's in spite of their manager. None of their opponents in that group, should give them any trouble.
