I don't see any way that the EPL would lose it's 4th slot. England had the highest UEFA coefficient by a mile last year, and they still got as many teams to the knockout phase of the CL as any other country except for Italy who got 3. The rankings may tighten up a bit, but it would take a catastrophic year in CL and Europa League for the EPL to actually lose that 4th CL spot.

I'm going to say it because I think it makes a huge difference.....


Wilshere comes back in January. It will be interesting to see Arsenals form in the Knockout stages.

It would be an interesting matchup between Bayern and Barcelona. Y'all have really direct attackers who I think would give us problems on the break. then again, Barcelona dismantled Bayern a couple years ago

I would love to see a final between Barca and Bayern in Allianz, no doubt.

We would have to stay healthy and get back to our form of earlier this year to be able to compete. It's hard for me to imagine Robben, being the glass man that he is, being healthy the complete second half of the season.

Both teams like to play possession ball, which Barcelona is frankly better at. Our central defense, particularly Van Buyten and Badstuber, are weak spots for us. Messi would make them look very bad. Silver lining for Bayern, if there is one, is that they are most vulnerable to counterattacking teams that park the bus in front of the goal.

ive never watched Man U play before but i have to admit that they are pretty exciting.. they seem to be what a soccer purist would term "creative"

They play the games there? Watched the UCL final in May at Soccer Taco in Old City. I imagine it will be rowdy there for the game.
