UEFA 2012/2013 Champions League Thread I just realized we don't have a thread for this yet. Listing the first phase groups for reference for discussion here: First Phase Group A FC Porto Paris Saint-Germain Dynamo Kiev Dinamo Zagreb Group B Schalke 04 Arsenal Olympiakos Montpellier Group C Málaga AC Milan Anderlecht Zenit St Petersburg Group D Borussia Dortmund Real Madrid Ajax Amsterdam Manchester City Group E Shakhtar Donetsk Juventus Chelsea FC Nordsjælland Group F Valencia Bayern Munich BATE Borisov Lille Group G Barcelona Benfica Celtic Spartak Moscow Group H Manchester United CFR Cluj-Napoca Galatasaray Braga I am a huge Bayern Munich fan and after last years loss in the finals, I think they are ready for a first place finish! Who do you root for? Let the discussions begin! |
So after today's matches, it looks like these teams will be advancing to the Second Phase for sure: From Group A - FC Porto and Paris Saint-Germain From Group C - Malaga From Group D - Borussia Dortmund (although I don't see Real not advancing) From Group F - Valencia and Bayern Munich From Group G - Barcelona From Group H - Manchester United Groups B, E, G, and H are all groups to watch during the final matches as they are all brutally close. Also, C and D will be interesting to see if Milan and Real can advance. We will see. |
Its a tragedy that we didn't have a CL thread before. But better late then never. My team (Inter) are not in the competition this year, after giving up everything from being champions 2010 to being shit last year. But we will be back. With that said im rooting for all the Italian teams,as Italy needs those UEFA rankings desperately. So im very happy for the Juventus win today ( even though i hate them usually) But anything is better than an English team winning:D |

Group A: Porto and PSG are through Group B: Schalke and Arsenal through Group C: Malaga and Milan ( thank god cause they suck) through Group D: Dortmund and Real Madrid through, ( Hah @ Manchester City) Group E: Is still alive with any of Shaktar,Juventus or Chelsea being able to qualify.. ( lol @ benitez for chelsea) Group F: Bayern and Valencia through Group G: Barcelona are done, still alive for either Benfica or Celtic Group H: Manchester United through, and still alive for either Galatasaray or Cluj. So more or less the only interesting group for me in the last match ups is group E :) Hoping for some monster matches in the next round:D |
Hoping for a Schalke draw or loss, and an Arsenal win on the final group matches! |
Should be a good final knockout round....I'm hoping to see Bayern take back the pride they lost in that upset loss to BATE earlier in the round. |
