As much as I agree with you, I don't see them defending it for the first time.....

:) no worries there...I am fine with you disagreeing.

Can't see past Real Madrid winning it this year. They're pretty unstoppable just now.

Hell of a win just now, long way to go though.

Well yeah - but Schalke is a train-wreck of a team. God knows how they're 4th in Germany, I doubt they will finish in the top 4, I'd even bet money on that. Having said that, I wouldn't mind a Real vs. Bayern final. It never happened at that stage....long overdue :D

Bayern is playing Schalke right now.... 4-0 in the 28th minute already. Just saying...

Schalke won't be in the CL Final. ;)

They surely won't. Bayern has a good chance of getting there though. I'd even go that far to say they'll either defend it or PSG or Real will take the crown this season.

PSG are currently scoring goals for Fun :D

It is a bit silly though what is going on in a couple of leagues around Europe.
Other than England, there's 1, max 2 teams that can win the league which makes the contest quite boring.

In England there might be 3 or 4, at the same time, none of these teams is quite strong enough at the moment to compete with the likes of Real, Barca, Bayern or even PSG.

Not too long ago, there were thoughts around creating a European Super League. What would you think about that? I have my doubts, but to be honest, it's no fun watching Bayern play in the Bundesliga knowing that they will trash their opponents each time. Ok - maybe Dortmund can be a contender for the cups but for the league they lack the breadth in the team. I guess the same holds true about PSG&Monaco and about Real & Barca....
