    This is Unreal

    Now United equalize so we are back to where we started with about 8 minutes to go

    And Wolfsburg take the lead again and PSV take the lead too

    United to Europa :(

    Beyond me how van Gaal takes off Mata and Schweinsteiger at such a crucial stage, the substitutions didn't make any sense.

    Well deserved. Not a huge Wolfsburg fan, but I love to see the PL teams burn. Too bad Gladbach woke up too late, they might have had a chance to make the Euro League at least.

    Pots so far.

    Winners:
    Real Madrid
    Atlético Madrid
    VfL Wolfsburg
    Manchester City

    Runners-up:
    Paris Saint-Germain
    Benfica
    PSV
    Juventus

    But not getting it done when it matters the most, as usual. I guess Euro League fits them better anyway.

    Arsenal and Chelsea made it, that's too bad.

    Roma advances with just 6 points. That's criminal.

    Pots for the next round:

    Winners
    Real Madrid CF
    VfL Wolfsburg
    Club Atlético de Madrid
    Manchester City FC
    FC Barcelona
    FC Bayern München
    Chelsea FC
    FC Zenit

    Runners-up
    Paris Saint-Germain
    PSV Eindhoven
    SL Benfica
    Juventus
    AS Roma
    Arsenal FC
    FC Dynamo Kyiv
    KAA Gent


    No need to play PSG or Juve early, I'm fine with everyone expect these two.

    Im curious to see how Liverpool will do in Europa. I feel Klopp will prioritize this tournament and getting a Top 4 finish as achievable this Season. We still need more players tho in our depth in terms of who can impact the game by them self.

    Bayern and Barca Final will be a treat to watch. Barcas frontline is just unreal.

    Liverpool opened a German twitter account and it's also rumored Großkreutz is signing with the club during the Winter Transfer Period.

    Got to love Europa league, many of these teams from smaller countries may not have big TV deals, but atmosphere and crowds are still fantastic. I'm rooting for Sporting or Porto or a Turkish team to take it this year.

    It's quite obvious that the one that recently got criticized has NOT been the problem! Banned for three matches - Man U loses.

    By the way, Chicharito scored 3 goals for Leverkusen today...

    I've always likes ManU's strikers in the past that they outcast, like Chicharito, Berbatov, and Tevez. Would have loved to have them in LFC, creative players. However SAF was justified in benching them with the trophies he got I guess.

    How do you pronounce his name?

    Why is there a capital ß in the middle of his name?
