AbsoluteGenius Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Who have been the unlikeliest (or luckiest) Champions League winners on your game? Playing as Juventus I was drawn with Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals. The first leg at home ended 0-0 (despite dominating the match) and in the second leg I secured the vital away goal. At 1-1 my players were celebrating up until the 90th minute and then this happens: One of my defenders makes a stupid pass back to the keeper and Diego Forlan scores. I then have no choice but to go all-out attack and they score again. Very unlucky. In the final Atletico play the monstrous Man City who easily win the Premiership. It should be a cakewalk for City, but Atletico put up a fight to keep it close. It is 2-1 to City until the 87th minute... Out of nowhere Sergio Aguero pops up and hits a spectacular half volley to level the match. They then go on to win in extra time against a nine-man Man City. They basically won the Champions League with last minute goals. The victory is made even sweeter for them because of their league position: Have you had any shock/lucky Champions League winners like Atletico on your game?

franklin Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Second season in my Lyon save and Almeria made it to the semi final of the champions league!!! Where they were eliminated by Man Utd.. And in the final Man Utd got beaten by... Lyon!! I think its far more shocking that Almeria finish top 4 in their first season and makes it to the semi in the second season than atletico madrid winning the CL.. Almost unrealistic....

Dar2000 Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 2 seasons into my game there was a Wolfsburg v Toulouse CL final.

Jedzo Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I won it with Spartak Moscow in first season. Beat Real Madrid on pens after a 0-0 draw. Played a 5-3-1-1 (the 3 being DMs!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgar555 Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Athletic Madrid is hardly a shock winner. Any team with Aguero in it has a chance at glory, the rest of their squad in FM is very strong too. This is not a surprise at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh that would be a big sensation irl. Atletico would just be a 'suprise' I'd say. 2 seasons into my game there was a Wolfsburg v Toulouse CL final. Not that shocking as both were performing very strongly domestically for 2 consecutive seasons.Wolfsburg won 2-1. Neither have come anywhere near the final since. Barca won it next 2 seasons That final is indeed as freakish as the Porto vs. Monaco final some years ago... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robioto Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Real Madrid and Barcelona have shared all 5 on my current save with Madrid putting me out twice and Barca once. The biggest shock I've seen on this save was Napoli reaching the final and finishing 11th in Serie A in the same season, they got hammered 4-0 by Madrid in the final.
