UEFA Champions League 2012/2013

FCBarca · Mar 16, 2013

AC showed anyone has a chance at this stage...Everything offensively channels through Ibra so it hurts them in Paris - unless they play for a scoring draw & hope to capitalize on a counter...Ancelotti is an experienced tactician in CL so there's no reason for overconfidence

Silva, Matuidi, Song, Adriano & Mascherano are all a booking away from suspension...With Puyol injured, could be tough at Camp Nou if another CB is out

The draws are shit. Drawing them entirely for QF stage like earlier was better. I don't see any advantage that the new system has over that, except of course getting UEFA some more tv time and money.

2nd place in Uefa ranking will be german very soon, since 2008/09 season won't be added to the calc next year in the coefficient:

we will need to battle with EL for 3rd, gladly they are already out of CL this year

FCBarca · Mar 17, 2013

Surprised Germany isn't already 2nd

Native · Mar 17, 2013

Surprised Spain is 1st

except 2009/2010 we have the highest co-efficients in the past 5 years. surely thats due to rube. serie A might even surpass treble season.

No, due to few italian teams giving a fuck about EL.

The issue is that the money prize involved in both tourneys favors this.

I'd rather Inter focus on getting to CL and the 30 m then trying really hard in a marathon of games for the EL to cash in only a fraction of that. IMO, later stages of EL should have a better payout and just participating in CL should pay less.

Ibra ban reduced from 2 to 1. Cleared for Paris match.

Oh noooooo, UEFA Barca working their magic once again.

DirettaInter · Mar 28, 2013

Apparently, seeing as English teams have not done well in UCL this year, Italy will get another spot to qualify next year and one will be taken away from England. This true?

Not even remotely true.

The associations' or country coefficient rankings are based on the results of each association's clubs in the five previous UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League seasons. The rankings determine the number of places allocated to an association in forthcoming UEFA club competition.

Points system

1. Each team gets two points for a win and one point for a draw (points are halved for matches in the qualifying and play-off rounds).
2. Clubs that reach the round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals or final of the UEFA Champions League, or the quarter-finals, semi-finals or final of the UEFA Europa League, are awarded an extra point for each round.
3. In addition, four points are awarded for participation in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League and four points for qualifying for the round of 16.

Coefficient calculation

The coefficient is calculated by working out an average score: dividing the number of points obtained, by the total number of clubs representing an association in that season’s two club competitions. The resulting figure is then tallied with the results of the previous four seasons to calculate the coefficient. Where two associations have the same coefficient, the association with the higher coefficient in the most recent season is placed first.
These rankings will be updated after each round of UEFA club competition matches.

Wonder if it's gonna make a significant difference.

Kakaroto · Mar 30, 2013

PSG is definitely going out now, that's the difference.

Fapuccino · Mar 30, 2013

Unless they get a major injury, Rube is gonna win the tie. Mark my words. I wanted to bet on this, but they won't allow bets in Canada :fu:

That's disturbing, to say the least...

Thanks to Canada you won't lose your 10$.

Fapuccino · Apr 2, 2013

rube going with 3-5-1-1 , so 6 midfielders. expect them to dominate the midfield. you guys seen italy dominate germany midfield? prepare for even bigger domination. time to take out the top bundesliga cunts, with the top serie A cunts.

you know what they say, a cunt in your home, is better than a cunt in your neighbour's home.

Tactical adaptability of Serie A sides, pays off in games like this.

Kakaroto · Apr 2, 2013

Ok Fappalisous we know you want RuBe to beat Bayern Monaco just don't make cunt anal-ogies
