Champions League 2014/15 | Group B

Group B: Real Madrid, Basel, Liverpool, Ludogorets

Today, it has finally begun!

Starting XI to face Basel tonight: [Cadena COPE]

Casillas - Arbeloa, Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo - Modric, Kroos, James - Bale, Benzema, Ronaldo.

Really? No solution in the midfield? Can Ramos or Marcelo play in the middle to do some defensive duties?

Carlo said today that he got back his WC players on Aug 1 and 5... and he's right. So Ronaldo, Benz, Kroos and Varane are just a month in. Add to that, we have a lot of new players and departures.... no practice time + games against an Atleti team that's a month ahead of us since they had no players show up late other than Griezmann.

Need to give this until November. It's a complete work in progress. I don't like the midfield makeup in terms of complementing each other... but we don't have anyone else

Yeah but, cant ramos play like a DM or something like that? You cant be serious going into CL like this (further stages)

We have a voodoo witch doctor that's going to sacrifice a goat... going to infuse some defensive mojo into our midfield by getting help from the spirit world. That's our plan B until January.

Yup I'm going to have to you all my reverse jinx energy as well.

Liverpool team to play Ludogorets: Mignolet; Manquillo, Lovren, Sakho, Moreno; Gerrard, Henderson, Coutinho; Sterling, Lallana; Balotelli.

Lacking motivation to watch the CL this season since we won it last season.

Go support United then

Hopp, Basel!!

Mt is the textbook definition of a glory hunting fan

I join you here. Go Basel. XD

Basel is clearly a pos club considering their colours and initials imo.

LOL. They pull off their jersey way better than Barca. lol Even if they are the same colors.

Alberto Moreno is a monster.

Why?

Relying on a last min pen to beat the mighty....

Can't wait to see RM batter them.

No idea why Ramos is allowed to take free kicks.

Huge 3 points, They'll be more confident against us at their home. Basel away next.

I think Ludo can be proud of their performance. But playing well is not enough at the end.
