Pour one out for the billions spent on those squads. Cry about too many fixtures, spend more. Cry about a lack of sub options, get five sub options.

Media is insane and so are online fans. What a dramatic headline. Holy moly

BBC had this one in the drafts for exactly this moment

Extremely hyperbole. Both Liverpool and Arsenal will probably go through. Nobody excepted Chelsea to beat PSG? Really? And it’s possible City might beat Real with 3 goals. And it’s not like Real Madrid is a bad side. More embarrassing for Serie A. Inter losing against Bodø Glimt, Atalanta losing 1-6 against Bayern home.

Sensational at best, dumb take at worst. Best league doesnt mean best team, it means top to bottom which league has the best collection of teams.

I fucking hate the BBC now. Absolutely trash takes on football every day now.
Sooooo clickbaity. Even the match reports are click bait as they choose the dumbest takes over text to show me.
The media creates these dumbass narratives just so they can do this.

Relegation level club that qualifed through Europa league advanced past group play. Mid table club draw 1-1 to mighty Barcelona. Last years champions and this years would-be-champions look like they’ll advance. City stumbled to a European powerhouse of Madrid with Valverde having 10/10 performance…. Seems like plenty of evidence to the contrary actually. You could say the league is so strong that an average showing midweek in CL has become a shocker since the quality is expected to be consistently higher

Nonsense. It’s taken the best in Europe combined to give the league a challenge.
Even then Barca and Atletico are facing two teams not good enough for CL next year

Yeah, one round of fixtures changes everyone’s whole opinion about the league. Ridiculous at best.

Seems an incredibly dramatic conclusion.

Which results were unexpected?
Chelsea losing to last seasons winners who won the treble and have the current b d’or winner?
Newcastle getting a good draw with Barca?
Arsenal drawing away from home?
Liverpool losing 1 nil away at a team they already lost to this season?
A relegation threatened Spurs getting threatened by Atletico? (Funny thing is they were so bad yet the game could have actually ended 5-4)
Id say the only poor shock result is Man City losing 3-0 to an injury ravaged basket case Madrid. Even then, its still CL Madrid.
This over reaction is as poor as the one citimg England as the de facto super league after the group stages.

Guehi, Chalobah, Kinsky and Jorgensen did a lot of heavy lifting for that. Saka had a hilariously bad outing and Noni’s dive for the equaliser was embarrassing. Not really covered themselves in glory yesterday
