Champions League starts today.

I, for one, hope to see Barcelona absolutely destroy Celtic tonight.

Arsenal, Milan or Real will win the whole thing. If I had to choose one it'd probably be Milan because they're a solid team with loads of attacking options.

Made a little poll to see who everyone thinks the winners will be.

I had them in it but it wouldn't let me add so many options.

Can't see them winning it so removed them.

Werder Bremen will win it for sure Wink

@Starter. Its a european soccer league there all national champions and other top teams from each country do compete. It used to be the cup of national champions with lesser games and was much better in the old days. Now it is only a marketing league.

Pretty harsh to call it a marketing league. Yeah a lot of it is to do with money but it's still the holy grail for european club teams.

Yes, but remember the good old days there you had three cups, dunno the english expressions for them but i try Wink cup of cup winners, UEFA cup and cup of national champions. That was much better ,the first game counted because it was no league, if the first one was lost, the team was out. And ONLY the last years national champions played for the cup and not the second and third placed team. Now you have so many games that i don't care anymore. Like i said before, they only invented it for the money.
Same with the german bundesliga. I still remember the days then all games were played on saturdays. To make more money, they started playing on fridays and sundays too, that sucked. But since fans complained about that, they canceld the friday games again. But they inveted some other national cup no one is interested in, just too many games these days.

Well they just removed a whole group stage because managers were complaining about too many games. I think they have the right balance now. Last year's was a disappointment but if things had gone differently we could have had a Real Madrid - Arsenal semi final which would have been a fantastic tie.

Cup Winners Cup and UEFA Cup has always been mickey mouse cups compared to the European Cup.

I know what you mean about games being played at stupid times. The same thing happened in Scotland.

Argh! Ronaldinho just missed a penalty to make it 2-0. Celtic are getting completely outclassed.

I voted Real Madrid purely because I support them, but on the basis of the start of the season I'm not so sure they have what it takes anymore - the manager needs to start putting his stamp on the game and taking Raul off, putting Morientes on and giving players like Solari some gametime - Zidane & Figo need occasional resting as well.

Barcelona seemed very good tonight from what I saw, Arsenal are increasingly competent overall thanks to players like Reyes - Although I've found at their height now, Henry is finding it harder to take control of the game and seems to be choking not just in European stage but in the Premiership as well.

Too early to say, but I think Real Madrid will fail to reach further than the semi-finals, but I hope they go all the way.

Camacho has taken the right approach and started to work on the defensive aspect of the team. Woodgate and Samuel is a quality central defensive partnership. I hope they do well because they play attractive attacking football like Arsenal and that's a rarity these days. I'm worried the trend of defensive teams doing well will continue in this year's CL but hopefully not.

Why am I not surprised. What a shambles that match was, I was expecting them to play poorly (considering the millions spent) but god that was awful.

Carlos just spent the entire night walking around with what looked like his finger up his ass, and when the perfect opportunity came for his trademark freekick - Beckham, who's right footed, hits them at a slow pace, and with lots of curved spin (slowing it down even more) took it instead. Straight into the keepers hand.

gah.

what a shit team, and what a shit coach. Everyone was so quick to blame Quieroz but Camacho is no better, in fact I'd say under him the defense has actually worsened - nobody knows what they are doing.

sure, at the start of an awful season.

It's not going to happen, there is no-one availabl, and there is no one willing to take on the challenge of both the club, the players and most importantly the president. Perez has already let go, sacked & sidestepped good managers in favour of those he could control and influence.

Camacho is not the strong willed, iron-fisted man they led the masses to believe either... look at him, the quitter.

they've been awful even with a 17m signing, I agree with this though:

Well he was right to work on the defensive aspect of the team but the start they've had simply isn't good enough considering the investment they have put in the team and the top quality players they have.

They should get Del Bosque back - he was a brilliant manager but he wasn't the type who would piss off the superstars.
