A couple of really intriguing first round matches. Arsenal/Bayern, Man City/Barc, and Bayer Lev/PSG.
Ugh.
Fuck that was a tough game....proud of Arsenal, and wow, Sanogo was very impressive (did more than Giroud would have), but yeah....how weak is our forwards that we play a dude whos never scored a goal for the club against the Best team in the world....ugh.
You played Bayern Munich not Barcelona or Real Madrid
Bayern are European Champions and smashed Barca 7-0 on aggregate last year...they are the best team in Europe currently - therefore the world.

...by quite a bit. Only time they ever slip is re-adjusting to elite competition...but on their best day their convincingly the best team in the world.
Agreed, arsenal getting a result out of Bayern would be far more impressive than city over barca IMHO
Gutted for Athletico....deserved it and without Diego Costa too....amazing defensive performance.....fuck Real Madrid.
Can you have an amazing defensive performance if you concede 4 goals?
The score doesn't show anything. It was a superb defensive performance but fatigue kicked in after 110 minutes.
