excellent. we need the money.

3W 1D please - beat the Sherrif twice, Shakthar once, and draw with them once, even if we lose both times to Real we'll still make it (in principle)
Yeah and this isn't even reaching. Sheriff is 6 points. I'd say it's most probable Shahktar is 6 points too rather than 4. So we can even given them one draw and we are still through this.

If Mbappe doesn't end up to Real this summer, I wouldn't be surprised us winning this group.

No excuse (just like last season) to not go through.

I dont really wanna maake the assumptions, tbh. We can see how those assumptions have gone for us in the last few years. You'll all be on the walls when we play out a 0-0 draw with Sheriff in the first match of the CL season or something :D

A side effect: Milan is trying to buy Jesus Corona from Porto. And they face each other in CL. Surely Porto won't help their rival now.

Which also means, Milan have to carve in for their 2nd choice, Junior Messias. For 10m :LOL: The 30yo Brazillian who wasn't even professional two years ago. Hats off for his effort, but this will be a massive overpaying for Milan.

Life is beautiful.

Sheriff is a double edged sword though, "guaranteed" 6 points for us but also for the other teams.

Still, this group was entirely doable last year and it still is. Without Cunte I'm optimistic about our chances of finally making it out of the group.

So i checked Inzaghi's record in Europe.

2017/18: Europa League - Quarter-finals 7-2-3

2018/19: Europa League - Round of 32 3-0-5

2019/20: Europa League - Group stage 2-0-4

2020/21: Champions League - Round of 16 2-4-2

Not great, not terrible.
Yeah instead of getting the best team from pot 4, now we got the worst one. That will boost our chances so much as it's automatic 6 points. Then we play like we did last year against Shahktar and we will win both those matches. Last year it was unbelievable bad luck to not win both matches, not even one!

We got dis.
In theory Slavia also were automatic 6 points in 2019/20 but in reality we only got 4. We shouldn't underestimate anyone.

We are gonna cruisin the europe with Inzaghi guys.

Last year was a really bad luck against Shakhtar but it was also due to our tactic that didn't go all out attack even when we desperately need the win. This time will be different.

Madrid last year already weak, and this year even weaker without Ramos and Varane. We should be able to get at least 1 or 2 draws against Madrid. That is of course unless they got mbappe. time for Vidal to pay back his error against Madrid last year.

It will take an epic choke for Inter to not go through in this group, even if they lose 2x to Real, which is likely.

Sherif+Shaktar is the weakest combination of 3rd-4th seed clubs in any of the groups.

I’d be worried if Conte was still in charge. As good as he is in the league, it’s the complete opposite in Europe for whatever reason. Us and Madrid should be a guarantee but who knows with this club.
I think we need to remember we weren’t good in the league either till after Xmas. Prior to that we were conceding constantly.

If we played the CL the same way we played the second half of the season we would have got past the group stage.

Exactly. Slavia is on a different level as a club compared to Sheriff. But those easter European trips are never easy, gotta give that.

Nice group. LOL @ meelan and I can see juBe failing to go through as well, depending on how much of an impact Allegri and Ronaldo's aging make.

Don't care about Real too much but I want to destroy fucking Shakhtar this time.
You have a chance - we lost our best defender already

I'm confident Inzaghi will get us out of the group. Then it comes down to the luck of the draw in some respects.
He better. A puppet should bloody get us out of this group.

Am I the only one not minding Madrid again? Honestly they're not that great, but we need to step up against Spanish sides ffs. Happy to see us vs. one big side anyway. Some test.
