Can't wait to see how they manipulate the ban like all the over clubs Uefa have hit.

Easy... 2 ways.

1) Threaten to sue the crap out of everyone aka the Man City way or.

2) Apeal to delay one window so they can buy what they need..aka the Barca way.

Or do they have enough power to do it the Real Madrid way and get off fully despite being guilty as hell?

And all teams went on full alert... Real Madrid out of the CL, Spanish Cup and 12 points behind in the league all in one week. This means rebuilding... big time and almost no players are off limits..

Tbh I don't think he would have made a difference. The mood of the team has been bad for a while and I believe that the problem is Bale. He is a scapegoat somewhat but also a core problem with his attitude on and off the pitch. They need to get rid of him and focus more on young talent like Isco and Arsenio and of course the magnificent Vinícius Júnior.

Bale is gone no doubt. Say what you will about Bale but his agent is right the fans treatment of the guy is a disgrace. He’d scored over 100 goals in just over 200 appearances, scored some huge goals in big finals and has helped them win 4 European cups. Imagine booing a player who has won 4 European cups with your team? Madness.
 
AJAX are the first team in the Champions League EVER to come back from a 1-2 home defeat and go on to make the quarterfinals
 
PSG knocked out by the United B team lol

So I want no bull**** thoughts on what Liverpools chances are of winning the EPL?

I just sat down and reviewed what games are left to play for them and Man City, in theory... If Liverpool can pick up their game, they've got the overall easier games while hopefully at the very least holding Chelsea and Tottenham to a draw... But I dunno, Liverpool seems to have completely lost that early season flare that was pretty incredible to watch.

I still think its anyone's to win. Liverpool may have fallen behind by a point but the two games they dropped points were away at a resurgent United and vs their local rival. Liverpool have the easier run in of the two teams and City still have to play United, will be very interesting.

I think it will come down to injuries and focus.

City are focusing on the CL, no doubt about that. They have the best on paper team but also on paper the hardest games. If City do a Real/PSG and go out of the CL then focus will change and that spells problems for Liverpool.

Liverpool are 100% focused on the EPL title. Sure they are in the CL still and have a good chance of going to the next round, but the club have all but officially confirmed the desire to win the EPL is their season goal.

And then we get to injuries. If Liverpool get injuries to key people, then they don't have the replacements. City does.

The thing is, both teams have been showing nerves. Liverpool dropping tons of points and City barely beating Schalke in Germany...a team they should be handling easy. Also the 1-0 against Bournemouth was a win but come on they should be winning easily.

Also would rather have had de Ligt.

Still think he is overpriced after the Real Madrid match?

All I can say is "thank you very much Ramos, nice yellow card in the away match because now you could not play in the home match". Arrogant twit thinking he could go into the next round with a clean sheet, sorry amigo, no new round for you.

Yes. He is young and unproven in a major league.

Plus few players should have such a price tag... It is almost an average price tag these days..

Also I think it was more a case of how poor Real were.

How can he be unproven after outplaying LaLiga's #3 team over two legs??
Yes I realize its only 2 games, and Madrid are at a rebuilding stage, but still he's been one of the Champion's League best players so far.

Dont be surprised if Ajax make the semi's or maybe even the final

He is playing in Holland hence he is unproven in a major league. There is nothing wrong with that... just that paying 70 million for player an unproven player is a risk for the club. The high price puts pressure on a young player.. look at Ousmane Dembele... massive price tag and he has struggled. Looks like he has gotten over his cultural shock.. maybe, but for the price of 105 million it was and is a huge risk and still is.

I hope he is the next Busquets because that is what he was bought for, but still think it is too expensive for any player.

Also to be fair, I am a Barca traditionalist, so I hate buying players and want to promote as much as possible from the youth players and by buying him you risk not promoting young talent. Case in point. Martin Montoya a right back who grew up in the club. He was unfortunate to come of age right when Dani Alves was in his prime. So he left in 2016 to Valencia for free and now is in the EPL. Dani Alves left the same year and Barca have kinda struggled for a quality right back. Could Montoya have been the answer? We will never know.

Well yes that excuse can be used, but this is Ajax and they have massively talented young players on their team and their failings in the CL the last many years has been due lack of experience for said young players.. who then get sold onwards to bigger teams in bigger leagues to become stars and such.

Domestic leagues yes, but he has so far proven himself in the CL.
He's played magnificently against Bayern, Benfica and now Real Madrid.

I think he'll become a superstar in La Liga for a long time to come.
Some pundits in Dutch media have even said Barca got him for cheap
