If you had to decide, which of your two favorite teams (United and Real Madrid) are better at diving?

Alisson standing on his head.

He's been our MVP this season for sure.

Napoli remains a buzzsaw. They're my darkhorse to make the final.

Kroos with a gorgeous cross and Valverde can't get it down.

Liverpool defending like they are on a one goal lead.

This is actually an improvement over how we usually defend.

I really do like Klopp but my goodness he can be an ass.

Benz with the goal. But he's hurt.

The comment was more about how this game has been played. You would have thought Real Madrid were the ones chasing not Liverpool.

We've been hemorrhaging solid chances all game, Real just can't finish for **** today.

Seems to be breaking down these days.

Yep and when y'all have had the ball so much of the attack has just been a hopeful ball over the top. Just so weird and not what expect from y'all.

We got old, slow, and unimaginative in the midfield. Every once in a while you'll see flashes of old Fabinho or something special from Baj, but we're really limited in the attacking build up. 2021-22 broke us.

Also, we can't play United every week.

Who are targets to overhaul the midfield during the summer?

Bellingham is top choice. After that, there's a new name every week.

Would love to see them go after Musah, especially if Valencia is relegated.

To be fair, if there was a metric for most non-calls, he's probably high on that list too.

And of course, the two have a chicken-egg relationship and it's probably even a feedback loop… more flopping leads to more non-calls, which leads to more flopping, and so on.

We have a crapton of wide attackers. Need some central mids in a bad way.

Madrid/Chelsea, Bayern/City on the same side of the draw. Enjoy your cakewalk to the Final, Napoli.

Y'all should be thankful you didn't draw Napoli this round.

Damn, UEFA for sure isn't giving Bayern any favors.

Inter
Barcelona
PSG
And now City
And then probably Real and then another Italian squad.

To win the Champions League they'll end up having to beat the top two teams in La Liga and Serie A, the top team in Ligue 1, and the top team in EPL.

Meanwhile Napoli have played no one. (Sorry Jeff)

Pretty wild we are guaranteed an Italian or Portuguese side in the final.

CP10 is currently stuck in that cycle as well.

No offense taken, but y'all are underselling Napoli.

So Benfica has to be the biggest wildcard left in the tournament. Napoli will wipe both Milans.

In truth though, I won't be sad if Bayern lose. I loathe TT, and the way they treated Nagelsmann was shameful.
