nah look at their players, all injured. we played their best team possible
Real had Mbappe, Vini, Jude, Valverde all playing and somehow Milan beat them convincingly. I'm just salty they beat Real. Meanwhile us were content or super happy with Liverpool and City results.

Is there a better way to leave your team by completely decimating your future team's city rival?

I'd rather have Milan in UCL so that we can have an easy semifinal again.

Also coefficient points is a good thing.

Real Madrid not making it out of the group stage would also be a nice thing.

Overall, good results last night.

Lille is doing some marketting for that Bouaddi kid. The born-2007 makes me feel like a grandpa.

They didn't start him in Ligue-1 but let him play full matches against Real Madrid and Juve. More impressive, they got 4 points.

These results were all favorable for Inter since Real Madrid (emotions against milan put aside), Bayer Leverkusen, and one of Lille/Juventus could've surpassed us but they all dropped points. So we stay 7th.

While we have a match to play against one of our main rivals. The vibes are vibing right now.

I'm gonna miss the game since it's the last night I'll spend in Kyoto and the game is around 4:00 in the morning or smth like that. Let's go boys! I believe in a good result.

There is hardly a scenario where we see Real dropping out of the league phase. Top 24 will get to the next round (9-24 will get to knockouts, first 8 straight to round of 16).

I dont want beelan and rube in last 16, plain and simple. I dont want those two scum of a clubs to succeed, even when they play recreative tournament with their geriatric legends.
Well,they would both be there regardless of results yesterday. Look at schedule for Milan.

So Guardiola really shows his qualities when his team misses some key players.

Madrid's next two games are away to Liverpool and Atalanta. This could get worse before it gets better. I think top-8 automatic qualification is already good as gone. Getting into the play-off round is a cinch but they have to work to do to finish in the top half and (I presume) get the 2nd leg at home.

I wouldn't be surprised if we're in the final days of Ancelotti there. This season is rapidly spiraling out of control for them, they lose any further ground in the league AND potentially a shockingly early CL exit...signing Mbappé only to see their season effectively over by January would be a monumental failure. There's a litany of other reasons I could talk about to explain how they find themselves where they do right now, and I think a lot of them aren't the fault of Ancelotti, but I don't need to explain to anybody here that, fair or not, managers often take the hit when things go horribly wrong.

I agree. And I would say it's not purely on Ancelotti but the recruitment policy. Mbappe and Vini simply doesn't seem to work together. Mbappe is not a lone CF, period. He's left-flanked forward/winger, just like Vinicius. Bellingham is a ghost now that he's not scoring goals (0 goals this season, fucking 100m player :lol:). I think it's the dynamics up front, of the lack of them hurts Bellingham too.
