Here's something interesting I would like to share with y'all. First thing first: HELLO. I'm rather new!

This season (Season 6) feels a tad different. For one, Nordeus has paired me with some crazy-good opponents, with 11 out of 14 in my League being my friends, gained through transfer bidding wars etc. Champions League and Cup have been challenging too. Won back-to-back trebles in Seasons 4 and 5 - perhaps that made me a target?!

Anyway, this is interesting.

After 5 games in the Champions League:

1. Ozack Utd - 5 - 3 - 1 - 1 - 8 - 3 - 10 pts
2. Daniel FC - 5 - 3 - 1 - 1 - 8 - 7 - 10 pts
3. Me - 5 - 2 - 1 - 2 - 7 - 7 - 7 pts
4. SL Benfica - 5 - 0 - 1 - 4 - 4 - 10 - 1 pt

The final round saw me playing bottom-placed Benfica, and Ozack playing Daniel.

Very challenging!
1. If Ozack and Daniel draw, I would get eliminated regardless of my result vs Benfica.
2. If Ozack beat Daniel, any win from my part vs Benfica will see me through on goal difference.
3. If Daniel beat Ozack, I need a huge win vs Benfica because going into this round, Ozack has +5 goal difference to my +0 goal difference.
4. If Benfica beat me, Ozack and Daniel go through without even needing to play, making their match a dead rubber.

Having scored just 7 goals in my first 5 games, and knowing I needed to win big, I went all out with just 3 DCs. The rest of the team are made up of 2 MCs, arrowed-up AML, AMC and AMR and 2 strikers. Hard-attacking mode, pressing the entire match and tackling hard.

I beat Benfica 6-2 - that's almost as many goals scored as my first 5 CL games all up.

Now it's up to Ozack and Daniel to NOT PLAY A DRAW!

Never had such drama before in the Champions League!
