Europa League/Champions League Lounge

[slocker]

While I agree that Champions League rules give an unfair advantage to the big clubs, I believe it's an opportunity for the small clubs to step up and gain more experience against the big clubs. Also there have been calls to scrap the champions league exit and entry rule into Europa League, but I don't see it happening as clubs and the leagues will loose out on revenue. I don't think Chelsea would do it especially for a cup like Europa, many top teams don't really prioritise it. They only will try winning it if they will be finishing outside top four in their league, and wish to have direct entry in champions league by winning the Europa cup.

The rules are unfair for the small clubs indeed but the structure of Champions and Europa league is like this in order to give big matches between the biggest clubs in Europe. As the competition reaches near the finals, the crowd wants to see great matches that will give them adrenaline and excitement. Same goes for the clubs that come third they have the advantage to go to the Europa League and play together in the final, semi-final and give to the fans an interesting match.

Well whole concept was changed long time ago back in 90s this was completely different and there were no team that are in good position for something it was much better to watch this cuz back then every team was able to win. Now we know almost from the start list of 6-8 team that will play semis in both Champions league or Europe league. This is boring but this is something that UEFA need to work out but this is something that will remain same and most of all if we have so many teams from same country in second faze then there must be removed right to team from same country cannot play each other.

What do you guys think of Man United vs PSG at the KO stages?  Man United's odds of getting thru has prolly gone up with Mou gone (but then again, I like Mou's pragmatic approach in tourneys).

I favour Manchester United to win provided their leaky defence holds up, I see no reason why Manchester United can't walk away as winners. Manchester United have the worlds best keeper, worlds best midfielder and an exciting team, while Psg has big player like Neymar I feel Ole tactics will play a crucial role. I have a different opinion about Mourinho approach he would have fielded Fellaini, Mactommy and tried to slow the play, while Ole will simply attack and hurt Psg on the counter. Honestly had Mourinho been at the helm Psg would have won it easily, now they'll be fearing this Manchester United side.

Well PSG is a different team now from what they used to be years ago, and so for Manchester United to win this tie will take quite a lot from them and currently they are still in a recovery process and i don't think they are there yet even though they have had some impressive results recently. It's a mouthwatering tie and i still think PSG has the edge over United.

I'm not too sure about them winning it easier under their new manager vs PSG but since I like your post, I think I might just go with it and make a dumb bet on the CL futures. 

Been saying it for months now but I haven't pulled the trigger.  Lol.

Taking a look on some betting sites, Manchester United odds are quite good vs PSG which won previously in 2015. Hard match with high risk of loss

Well according to Bet365 PSG is going to win. The odd for PSG is 6/5. It will be a hard game. Both Man U and PSG have some good players and in their day they can change any equation.

Manchester Untied is different club now with new coach but to be honest they were playing against small clubs
For sure Man United has enough class players to will battle against PSG
It will be close games and i think we can expect some goals .Man United is very offensive now PSG has best strikers
On paper PSG is a little better but just a little exactly like on odds on game 6/5 PSG

When there was Mou in charge, I didn't see any chances for MU to win against PSG. But now MU is hot team, it's become interesting to watch them playing. Now I would say this pair is 50/50. Ok, maybe PSG have slightly better chances, but I think everything can happen in this pair. It should be very interesting matches to watch.

With PSG, you never know. They can beat anyone in Europe but can also be crushed 6-1 by Barca lol.
It all depends on their motivation on a specific day.
But on paper, MU's defense is no match for players like Mbappe, Neymar, Cavani...
PSG are favorites but again...

And it's the KO stages.  Any club has a higher chance of going thru than what the bookies' lines make it look.

During these stages bookies always try to play us, I think though that this stage will show favourites going through although you really never know who the favourite is in these couples. I think we may see some games go to extra time after the two legs are played.

Champions league is always a good event to try and win some money.

This PSG with big names is really fluid and compact team can easily humiliate Man. Utd. red devils are looking better with new coach but still lack creativity and speed compared to Neymar and Mbape. PSG is mega project now just like Galacticos used to be a decade ago.

Doubt it. If there's a team that's shitting their pants right now thinking about the game in February, it's Manchester United...Lingard, Rashford, and Martial don't look that scary, now Cavani, Mbappe, and Neymar? That's a whole different story, especially if they're gonna face the likes of Bailly, Lidelof, Young, or Jones...I still consider PSG the main favorites...to me, the chances of Man Utd advancing to the next round have gone up from 20% (with Mou) to maybe 30% (with Solskjaer).

Easily...  Seriously?  I think Man United has one of the more underestimated, underrated, underperforming squads in Europe imo.  But it's pretty obvious why and I kinda didn't put too much stock on it at first, but yeah, Mou sucks now.  Lol.  They've prolly been downing tools under Mou too.

I am an Man U fan but I like PSG too. They have some good players who can change the game plan of opponents in their day. It's going to be a hard match in between them and will be hard to predict the result too.

Rated PSG a long time, there were team work based giant killers. Now they have a few giants of their own.

Think about Neymar jr. He can change any equation. Think of Mbappe, young skilled. His speed can crash any defense. France was a good team but Mbappe played the key role to win the world cup for France   

PSG has very good chance to win the match against Manchester United.

I don't like PSG, as I think they have the money to create a better squad than the current one. I think that a barrier may be that players do not consider the French League so competitive so they are discouraged to make a transfer there. Apart from that, I can agree that PSG has a great chance to win against Manchester United. Man. Utd still tries to find their pace after Mourinho left and i think they still need time to do so.

The problem with PSG I think is the fact that its players still see it as a small club, they have no respect for it. You have a guy like Verrati being arrested for DUI at 3 AM two days before a game, Rabiot saying he doesn't want to play 6, Neymar who misses practices to go to Ibiza...
That's probably why these guys have never been past the quarters in Champions League, they lack the professionalism. They're not winners. They care more about their Instagram account than about the results of the team.
They need a firm hand and that's not the one of El Khelaifi.
There are things players do at PSG that they probably would never do in "bigger" clubs.
