2015/16 UEFA Champions League

I did not see a thread, which is surprising.  First legs of the Ro16 are completed.  Gotta say, not happy with the final half hour the other day.  Should have left with a victory and two away goals.  Still the favorite returning to Munich but the injuries on the back line are definitely effecting things.  Kimmich is not good enough at all to win the CL with.

As for the oher match-ups, I found it interesting to see that Atletico failed to get an away goal again Einhoven, that would crack me up.

The other two teams that are in danger heading home are Zenit and Chelsea, each down a goal to Benfica and PSG respectively (although Chelsea has an away goal)

Barca, Real, and City all lead by multiple goals while Wolfsburg has a one goal lead and three away goals.

Interesting statistic.  In three of the past four years Bayern, Barca, and Real were in the semi-finals.  The exception was two years ago when Bayern and Real were both in it.  Those teams have never met in the finals though.

Can't believe Juve didn't have a clause in Coman's loan contract that made sure he couldn't face his parent club. His goal was the nail in the coffin.

Chelsea had that a few years back with Atletico if I recall correctly.  I think UEFA let the guy play anyway?

Is it just me or does Real play Bundesliga teams a lot?

At least four years in a row, so it's not you.

    • TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive. 
    • I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.
    • Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
