You need luck to win the champions league it's as simple as that, remember Jose's inter Milan

The best team doesn't often win in the cl, it's a funny competition and I personally think the referees play a big part too

While I agree that to win the CL some luck is often necessary at some point, why would you say Inter was lucky?

They definetely weren't the most entertaining team to watch, but they did defend well and played well as a team. Like 2004 Greece. They didn't concede many chances, so I wouldn't say their victories were down to luck.

1. Yes you don't exactly because you have turned into a non-competing for anything team who are selling its best players every season.
2. Yes i am proud, in fact very proud. There is beauty in the good defensive playing team as well as attacking one. There is also a lot of people who call it ugly football, parking the bus etc. just because they are on the losing side against it, normal reaction.But yes i enjoy watching a great defensive tactics who makes the oposition powerlessness against your team.
3. True Arsenal have won there. But what did they won with this win? Nothing, they even went out of the Champ League after first Bayern beats them 1-3(or so). Do you think they could've won if that was a final? We'll never know but my guess is no, cause Arsenal don't have the mentality anymore. If they get 1 or 2 bad games in a row they collapse. No leaders in the team, one Wilshere is not enough, others are hiding themselves in the important games(examples City, Liverpool, Chelsea this season). I`ll even make a bit bold assumption, i think that today Arsenal will lose against the horrible Man United.Even if you think i am crazy thinking of that i have my own reasons.



You've heard that luck is with winners before, right? Also where have been this luck when Ovrebro got us out of Champ League against Barca, when Liverpool won over us with the Garcia's phantom goal, same Liverpool got us with penalties too, when United beated us in Moscow? It was normally for us to get a bit of that luck back.

Selling your best players =/= not playing beautiful football. Swansea last season played amazing football with a limited squad.

chelsea played beauitiful ball vs manchester city, outplayed city really

i could mention other games aswell, vs the lower teams they go mourinho style to use as little energy as possible and set up a solid defense, failed last night but it's been proved to be effective

Chelsea vs big teams is ussually the worst possible matches, just parking the buss like he did vs Arsenal at home.

I agree vs City it was an amazing Chelsea, but it's not like every top game they do this.

You literally played the shittiest football alive vs Barcelona and Bayern. I was so embarrassed for you guys
