Kezza96's Attempt at the Ultimate Champions League Challenge

[pompey forever99]

Pique was slightly injured in the game beforehand but I would normally play Pique over Puyol

ohhh good i was like WHAT? puyol over pique :O

 

[coolmcool]

I also thought i would have a go at the Champions League Challenge and have started at Barcelona who are just stupidly good on this game! I have won 13 games out of 14 and Messi has 21 goals!

Not the ideal result but 2 away goals and the Nou Camp is always an easier place to play!

Good month other than the Sevilla result, Real Madrid had a poor month so back to the top I go!

Unlucky against Benfica... i couldn't beat them on both occasions in the group stage (luckily they finished bottom of the group so i don't have to face them again!!)

Haha, Benfica just seem to be a common bogey team in this FM! Not looking forward to managing Porto.

 

[White army]

yeah i struggled against benfica...cardozo is dangerous for them

 

[samgenoa98]

good results. IF you don't win the cl and stay at barça, will you actually try and continue the philosophy of promoting the youth or will you not care and try win with the current bunch of superstars?

While I like promoting youth, I have a squad of players that should win the CL, and If i don't win it first season I'll buy someone like Falcao and hopefully win it second try round!

Semi Finals, 1st Leg

Barcelona 4-1 Manchester City
Villa, Alves, Alba, OG

WHAT A FECKING RESULT!!! Honestly, when they took the lead on th 55th minute I was doubting my chances in this competition since we were playing terribly. However, since then we absolutely dominated and we are now staring at the prospect of a Champions League final against PSG or Bayern!

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

So a great month in the champions league and the league- We keep up this form and we could have a lot of silverware at the end of the season.

Really good achievement despite it being with Barcelona - it's never easy to win everything no matter how good your team is. Who are you against in the final?

End Of Season Review
View attachment 297597

So, a terrific season in which we won every trophy that we could possibly win: The super cup, the Spanish cup, the league and the Champions League, most importantly. I had fun at Barcelona, but it will be time to move on. The question is, where next? The team I beat in the final, Bayern, are the most likely team I will take control of, as I understand that Heynckes is retiring. But we will see!
