I agree that Juventus enjoy the luxury of having their league wrapped up before a single ball is kicked. This makes them even more dangerous in the CL. As I am typing this, Atleti are looking likely to crash out of the CdR. Girona 1-2 up in the Metropolitano. Edit: As usual, Atleti will only...

I never knew Super Copas were "big games"

But that's exactly what I am saying. What I am trying to say here is that players are lured primarily by money (if not exclusively) And yes, you are right in that AC Milan built and many others built their legacy when they had money. But there can be no doubt that clubs such as Nottingham...

If Overmars said so, then it must be true. I don't think so to be honest. Nobody really likes to admit that they are primarily motivated by money. If it's not about money, then why would any player whatsoever, join PSG? Hell, clubs like St Etienne, Leeds United or Real Zaragoza have more...

I think that it's becoming clearer and clearer that PSG are in a position of outspending all and sundry. PSG are now the most powerful club in the world. This is very good news for PSG fans, and bad news for everybody else, especially us and Real Madrid.

Amusing to see how many people believe that players will choose a club depending on who the manager is or who calls to lobby for it. 90% is about money (at least) 10% (or less) is about prestige and chance of winning the CL.

Or maybe Qatar FC has more money than we do.

Marketing revenue? Oh you are referring to Bayern's sponsorship by German corporations.

What you say makes a lot of sense, but if we lose Frenkie to PSG, who do we then go for?

This has the potential to be a major setback for us. But I am not giving up hope yet.

Of course there's no excuse for us not winning the league, and I am firmly convinced that we will do exactly that. But I don't agree that Atletico are as bad as you make them out to be. Even in their title winning season, most of their victories were indeed narrow, this is nothing new apropos...

Ronaldo's lucky streak in the CL in recent years has blurred lots of people's ability for rational analysis. There are a myriad of factors that will affect the outcome of that tie (primary of which, as always between roughly equal opponents is luck) and only one of them will be CR.

Coutinho Arthur Suarez

Even in CR150's peak years, his creative play was rather limited, especially if someone was stupid enough to compare him with Messi in that department. Real Madrid were extremely shrewd to sell him and Juventus were extremely naive in buying him at that price and with such a contract.

I thing that that tie is on a knife's edge. I'd give Juve 55% and Atleti 45% to go through.

Why would you say that? I think that Atletico are as efficient as ever.

Today's the 3rd crucial penaldo awarded to Atletico in the last 4 jornadas. Are Atleti the new Real Madrid?

I agree. None of Suarez, Pique, Alba, Arthur, Rakitic and above all, Messi, should play in the 2nd leg against Levante. Play a similar side to the one in the away leg (okay, maybe not Miranda) and if we win, yay!!!! If we lose, then so be it.

Exactly. If reaching the CdR QFs is that important, we are one Malcom toe-poke away from getting a good result. If we get eliminated by Levante, then we can concentrate on the league (which we are leading) and on the CL that has eluded us after three unlucky and/or embarrassing QFs.

The meltdown in here is beyond absurd. We have all been asking for rotations -> We got them. We have all been questioning the wisdom of chasing after yet another CdR -> Today we are not. Some youngsters have been given a chance to show what they got -> We now have the answer. Some extremely...
