    12 European teams and the absolute elite - Champions league winners, runners ups, and the Top 10 ranking club teams.

    Bayern would be there for sure. Then you got River Plate, Boca, Nacional, Corinthians, Gremio, Mineiro, Cruzeiro,Palmeiras, Tigres, Colo Colo the elite South Americans......and the rest.

    Coman by far the best player of the game today, love how he has developed recently.
    Always knew the talent was there, just needed more confidence and to be a bit more calm.

    Bet Clement is gone after this game, Swansea has been abysmal this season and only getting worse.

    Good fun at Richmond Arms watching the United Arsenal game today. An exciting but strangely played game. Arsenal has nearly 80% of the possession and could put a ball in the goal. De Gea was f***ing awesome. I still argue that Arsenal’s goal was offside but it was nothing in the end. Pogba’s red was bull**** and hurts even more with City up next Sunday. Maybe the FA will rescind it...but I doubt that will happen.

    Multiple Bayern scouts have attended the last Bordeaux game to scout Malcom, should be a sign of heavy interest.
    Would be a great young talent on the wings, let's hope this happens:

    Paris SG's Lucas Moura is being targeted by Beijing Guo An and Roger Schmidt.

    Saw this, pretty stupid. He could help a lot of top teams in Europe.

    Have been looking forward to this since we were raped in Paris.
    This time, I don't really feel impending doom like I did before the first match, but you never know.

    Just hoping we can at least end this with a draw, a win would be a bonus but not necessary. The match is pretty crucial for Bayern's standing, being abused two times in a row by PSG would be a serious blow.

    Up 2:0 at halftime and a complete 180 compared to Ancelotti's crap.
    Should've never let Jupp go, oh what could've been. :(

    God I love how Coman has developed under Jupp.

    So a 3-1 win over the Sheiks. Little sad cause we could've really made that four goal difference, on the other hand the 2nd place is not necessarily a disadvantage. Can't play Real or Juve - could play Besiktas, Roma or possibly Liverpool/Sevilla.

    Fantastic game today. Knew he could be that good, just a matter of playing time. Hope he'll still get his minutes now with Ribéry and Müller back.

    Ref was terrible btw, no CL level. Hope he won't be in charge in the next round.

    By the way. Pot 1 team Benfica - in a pretty decent group with Basel, CSKA and ManUtd: 0 Points and 1-14 goals. Once again, thanks Platini. Hope this r****d will remain banned for lifetime.

    Looks like all 4 EPL teams are going through (Liverpool hasn't clinched, yet...but they only need to not lose by more than 7 to Spartak Moscow). No other league (that has more than 1 team in) can say that this year. Considering how generally poor the EPL has performed in this over the past few years, it's nice to see.

    Gotta admit though: Other than Tottenham, they had the easiest groups out there: United's is a joke, City's also non-competitive. Chelsea and Liverpool should've won their groups with ease as well. Wouldn't be too surprised if most of them go down in the next round, only see City possibly advance to the semis.

    So Dortmund will probably qualify for the EL with laughable 2 points. Leipzig out as well, nice.
