Remember when there was parity in Europe and reaching the final meant you'd have to play good teams or, heaven forbid, even come up against teams that had previously won the tournament! Not anymore.

Literally shit tier at UCL, LVG never knew how to prepare for a season so the team was rubbish at group stages losing every game in november

Man City is elite idiot

Are you that Georgian guy that knows the goalkeeper from Moreirense?

Luigi pls.

Inter had Ronaldo, Baggio, Simeone, Zanetti etc.

Juve had Zidane, Davids, Deschamps, Conte, Inzaghi.

what do you mean by that?
they never reached a final

Barca had the best player in the world at the time.

>Says Conte before Del Piero

7th and 8th

I just thought of something, how come no Brazilian teams have EVER won the champions league

My bad, then.

Dynamo Tblissi is fucking based, and I hope to visit your country during my lifetime

wat

Did somebody say the most expensive sale made by FC Porto at that time, even though he wasn't that good!?

the last 3 series were very close, decided by 1 goal or penalties
>ronaldo just scored 2 against bayern
What will your excuse be this time?
>b-but he didnt dribbled all the oponnent team and scored from half pitch

Serie A was incredible back then though.

>Napoli
>Benfica

'no'

Bearing in mind back then United were literally who's on the European stage. It was pretty glorious.

>Quarter Finals
>Inter Milan
They're shit, m8. They never qualify, they probably just got lucky that year.

I wasn't making a point about Ronaldo you little TSUU-bot. I was just using that pic as a display of who Madrid played en route to the final.

I don't think that cup run will ever be topped for how disgustingly lucky it was.

>The CL wasn't tougher in general back then

This was back when players were bought for their actual value and before the false economy came in. I can't wait for it to collapse. It's going to be glorious.

>actual value
No idea what you're talking about.
