I haven't won the Champions League for ages... most of my attempts being with Man City recently. But I agree that it makes the game more playable when it's difficult to achieve.

I've just started another new game with Chelsea, hopefully I can break the duck soon!

I was Barcelona and on a 50 game unbeaten league run, sweeping everything in my path to one side. Then a lost 3-0 against Almeria, having beaten Real 3 days earlier 4-2

Well i just had a huge spot of luck

Man city second season first knockout round

Just sold two best players Elano and Micah Richards in january

1-0 win for me at benficas ground with a 4-1-4-1

playing same formation for whole season

at home i go 2-0 up and with twenty minutes to go disaster adu scorers two in quick succession away goals .

Changed formation so i still had one lone striekr but had an AML and AMR supporting and 2 MCs Luis Jimenez comes of the bench to score a goal from 35 yards with a shot that could of only been going 5 miles an hour but my ground bobbled the ball in

drawn man utd in the 1/4 though so maybe i wont win the CL either

I've always down ok in the champions league - won it with Chelsea, Man Utd, Real madrid, Rangers and Newcastle a few back to back wins.

I always adopt the same approach away from home I'm happy with anything that isn't a huge defeat. I play a 451 defensive counter attacking formation - I always use this away in the champions league even against lesser sides - whenever I havn't it's been a disaster then at home I play my normal 4231 system.

I hardly ever get any away wins in europe but the amount of 0-0 and 1-1 draws I get is huge and that is enough if you have good players and a solid home tactic.

I also use a lot more relaxed team talks in Europe than I do domestecially. lots of pressure off and you can win as appose to the rollicking I give them at half times of most league games.

Sorry now, but any game that has Spurs in the semi final of the champions league can't be anything other than seriously flawed

I had a similar thought when I saw the draw in my game - fortunately they lost 2-0 to Real Madrid in the final to retain some semblance of reality! :thup:

i agree, but in two separate saves its the total opposite.

in my arsenal save, i won the CL in season 5, only chelsea in season 2 brought it home to england.

yet in my sevilla save, chelsea vs arsenal final in season 1, spurs uefa cup, and man city beat me 4-0 in the group stage qualifiers in august.

In 5 seasons at chelsea,I only made the semi's twice losing both times.It was the only trophy I could not win with them.

Jose is that you?

I have had 6 seasons in a row in Europe with Norwich, 5 Champions League and 1 Uefa Cup, and every single season I have gone out in the semis, I just can't make the final for love nor money.

Closest I got was this last season, when I beat Barca 3-2 at Carrow Rd, and was 2-1 up away on 66 minutes, when I missed a pen and it all went tits up, and lost the game 4-2 with the winner in the 96th minute, despite there being only 4 minutes injury time... ...I think i'm jinxed...
