Zlatan at the end then chasing after big Nat trying to get his shirt.

And still couldn't get anywhere near him.

The amount Liverpool have earned so far from the Champions League. Without taking into consideration TV and gate income.

Possible last 16 opponents:

 

Paris Saint Germain

Inter Milan

Sporting Lisbon 

Villareal/Atalanta

Salzburg/Sevilla/Lille

Barcelona/Benfica

Juventus - if they finish second as we cannot draw Chelsea.

I've just realised that @Bjornebye forgot to post the number one single from the time of that match and that's why Milan scored first last night.

We still won.

Smashing Barcelona would be lovely, a cricket score over two legs considering the state they're in.

 

Apart from PSG, who can turn it on at times, we should be confident of taking any of them.

I think we'd batter PSG much more than we would against Sevilla or Inter. You can't defend with seven players against us.

Yep, never played them. Played Vitoria Setubal, Benfica, Porto, Boavista and Braga but never Sporting. 

 

 

[Anubis]

PSG. Let's dispose of them and move on.

Makes you wonder why they wanted ESL.

Because it takes only one more oil state/ oligarch to join the party and we'll be out of the CL for good in a few years. 

[Jordy Brouwer]

 People are saying its all about money but it isn't. 

 

We ran top European teams ragged under Houllier, including Milan with those high flying big spenders Moores/Parry. We did it with players like Biscan and Traore. 

 

Its also about attitude, pride and identity. Milan didn't seem to have any. It was painful to behold.

I suppose they wanted the guaranteed income every year rather than missing out on the top 4 or not making it out the group stages.

 

But the competition would be shite with no relegation and the repetitive nature of playing Barcelona every year or playing them in Miami or Baku. 

 

The TV money will be anything between £15m-£20m and we average around £2m a game gate receipts for a CL game on top of the money mentioned.

A great post, in full.

 

Can someone please explain it to me?

But without money we didn't sustain it.

Sporting. Then Inter. Then Atletico. Then Real in St. Petersburg.

Would love PSG or Barca. Think we’d absolutely destroy both.

I don't think Barcelona will qualify. 

 

Benfica will beat Dynamo Kiev tonight and Bayern will turn Barcelona inside out. 

[Arnaud]

I would be more careful with PSG. That’s the same team almost  we faced a couple of years, and that was close. M’Bappé is at his best right now, and you never know what could happen.

 

Sporting looks great !

It related to a previous discussion about Milan. I said they are in a sad state, some other people said its because of the difference in money between Italy and England and I was pointing out that when we didn't have money we showed a lot of character and effort in Europe so it isn't just about money.

Sporting all day every day.

 

PSG has some scary ability going forward. 

[3 Stacks]

As bad as PSG are, they have too much individual quality for us to be happy about potentially playing them.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

All those cunts will be worried about facing us.

 

Fuck 'em all.
