Champions League is nothing but a money making scheme now. Lot easier to win now. Minnows in initial group matches have no chance against the top teams like Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Barcelona etc, where in the old European Cup anybody could beat anybody in a knock out 2 leg tie. Steau Bucharest even beat Barcelona in the 1986 final. Not many shocks nowadays.

Cannavaro and Viera questioned his opinion stating he had not even played the game at a high level. Hence the retort.

I pity those who never experienced the genuine excitement of a proper European Cup tie. It was a real knock out competition back then. These days it's a snore-fest. The European Champions could be knocked out in the first round against a virtually unknown team. That happened to Liverpool and many other top sides. So there was genuine danger in every tie. Nowadays even if a smaller side shocks a Barcelona and beats them, they're still in the competition. There's no danger, therefore no excitement. The European ties back then were played like cup finals. It was nervy, exciting, thrilling.
Nowadays = Zzzzzzzzz oh look Barcelona just thrashed some Scandinavian side 8-1. Oh wow it's Real Madrid versus Bayern Munich... again ... just like last season and the season before  |
