CM01/02 - Would Be Champions

[ashton430]

My aim here is to win the Champions League with every team that has been runners up in the Champions League before. 



Now as I am using CM01/02 there is no Serbian League so I wont be winning it with Partizan. I have seen this on a couple of other forums so its not my original idea, but I liked the sound of it so thought I would give it a go. I am using a new CM Update and also a Patcher to make make AI tactics more difficult. I could not decide who to start with first so I left it to the wheel.

Season 1 - 2021/22 - Atletico Madrid



I took over maybe one of the better teams to be in this particular challenge. With players like Suarez, Morata, Llorente, Felix and Oblak we already had a fantastic side. I did try and bring in some new faces in the summer but I could not seem to get deals over the line. I play a pretty straight forward 442 with some slight changes. 

La Liga




A fairly easy season really where our defence was fantastic but also the attack playing their part as well. Real Madrid and Barcelona were no where near. Nor were any of the recent decent sides it was Osasuna who were our main rivals but they did not really stand a chance as we just kept winning. I am not sure we would have been this good if the big teams had been any better but they were not and I secured a title. 


Copa Del Rey




We had the easiest run of all time to the final where we did not play one La Liga team, we only played Segunda or Segunda B sides. Even in the final it was Elche and they were not much better. The 1-0 win flattered them a little bit but another title to add to my resume. 


Champions League





This was the main aim for this season and for the rest of the challenge. We began with Ajax, Club Brugge and Olympiakos in the opening group. We won all but one game which was a draw against the Greeks. This saw us into the next round. We faced PSG, Manchester United and Atalanta in the next group. We drew all but two games in which we beat United and Atalanta, this was enough to see us through in second place just. We then faced Milan a 0-0 draw away and a 2-0 win at home both coming from Correa was enough to see us into the next round. Chelsea were next up and a 3-0 win at home was enough to see us through despite a 1-0 away defeat. In the final I went very defensive and it worked as only an extra time goal from Llorente was enough to secure my first of many (hopefully) Champions Leagues. 

I will now be off trying to find a new club which fits the criteria
