UEFA Champions League 2020 Open Discussion

The biggest upset of this season. Last year it was Ajax, this year it is RB Leipzig breaking all the odds. Atletico were clear favourites after knocking out Liverpool but Leipzig without Timo Werner stunned the three-time champions league runners-up. Thanks to a late winner from their American recruit Adam Tyler. The German club have reached their maiden Champions league semi final and will face PSG on 19th August.

Having lost Timo Werner, one of their best players, to Chelsea yet they make it to the semi-finals. What a team!

Barcelona vs Bayern tonight - Here is a match we all want to watch

Two of the titans of world soccer face tonight - a match fit to be the European final! It’s a game that features superstar players, global brands, and each of the club winning Champions League title 5 times so far.

:trophy: Barcelona : 1992, 2006, 2009, 2011, 2015
:trophy: Bayern Munich : 1974, 1975, 1976, 2001, 2013

However, Barcelona have stumbled of late, losing La Liga to Real Madrid after winning just 5 out of their last 9 games. I think this time they come in as underdogs.

Meanwhile, Bayern Munich have won 19 games in a row, taken the Bundesliga and German Cup and enter this one as the favorite.

Looked like it rained goals in Lisbon!

Barca suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of Bayern Munich.

Barca president Josep Maria BartomeuDo has indicated changes at the club following the embarrassing Champions League exit.

I think a complete overhaul is necessary starting from the top to bring about a real change and to reinstate the glory days of Barca.

On the other hand, Bayern continue to dominate and I see them lifting the Champions League trophy! :trophy:

Bayern’s 8-2 victory against Barcelona was the highest-scoring knockout game in the UEFA Champions League era but it fell just short of being the match with the most goals in the competition’s history.

That honour goes to their domestic rivals Borussia Dortmund, who overcame Legia Warszawa 8-4 in a group game in November 2016. Monaco’s famous 8-3 triumph against Deportivo in 2003 takes second place with Bayern’s bonanza in Lisbon sitting third.

UEFA Champions League’s highest scoring matches

12: Borussia Dortmund 8-4 Legia Warszawa, 22/11/2016
11: Monaco FC 8-3 Deportivo La Coruña, 05/11/2003
10: Barcelona 2-8 Bayern München, 14/08/2020
9: Paris Saint-Germain 7-2 Rosenborg, 24/10/2000
