Beating Bayern at home + a draw between Gala & CPH.

Considering both events are unlikely (even with Bayern having nothing to paly for), it should be in the 5 to 10% range

Man arsenals attack does well when all their good players who previously did well are all on the field together. Rocket science baby.

G Jesus is honestly so good, Arsenal can definitely win the title with him at ST imo. He's not the most traditional goalscoring striker, but his dribbling, ball control, and link-up play are all top notch.

It's a big drop off when he's injured and Nketiah has to step in.

Jesus won't stay fit throughout the end of the season.

For the easter period he is guaranteed to miss at least 3 days.

But yea we need a backup that is better.

I am usually quite empathetic with new players after a club switch. However, having an extended blooper compilation 4 months in is really some feat.

They produced 0.24 xG. In a game they needed to win. Against a zero effort Bayern team. Pathetic.

Last season they drew the best remaining team in the quarters (Bayern) and semis (Real).

Riggage in the CL has historically been in favour of the big continental clubs.

Like for Bayern and Real last season?

Starting next season there's no more drawing for the KO stage. So all rigging has to be done during the group stage draw.

Isn't next year CL with more teams as well or that was only the world cup?

36 teams in one big group. Every team plays 8 games against 8 different opponents. For that they have a draw from 4 different pots similar to how they do group stage draws now. Every team draws two opponents from each pot.

After group stage #1-8 advance to the round of 16. #9-24 play home and away games for the remaining 8 spots. Seeding based on group stage performance so #1 and #2 can't meet before the final.

In Spain "la real" is real sociedad.

one never refers to Madrid this way.
