Champions League 25/26

PSV losing.

Good for the French league in their bid to stay above the Dutch in coefficient.

Arsenal average so far. Even without Saka and Odegard i expected more from them tbh.

Folk living in an alternate reality if think Spanish teams were spending before these rules.

I reala hoped for a good match for Arsena

Because LL directors didn't think wisely, they fucked up. Suddenly it was JUST about scarcity and not trying to promote the league as one of the most fun to watch - EPL is fucking boring compared to LL 10 year ago. Instead of investing they went on a defensive bs crippling their economy - fucking promoted teams to EPL have a bigger capital than Barca, one of the best teams to ever exist. That's a fucking joke if you ask me. Sure, I think the cash in LL should be more evenly distributed - but LL directors/marketing are fuckfaces, stupid idiots.

The EPL is still boring, the players are still average— they just got for insanely inflated prices. La Liga slipped when its clubs outside of its big three lost their spending advantages over their Italian, French, and German counterparts.

Ventura is super confident now after finally winning the CL, I can imagine the amount of stick he got being a PSG fan over the years and all their failings in the CL with all that money behind them.

I ain't mad at it lol.

Im old enough to remember jean pierre papin. France is definitely a football country.

Bilbao vs arse what an ass match so far. Battle of the blands . The squatter vs the diet-pep

 

[JamDav1982]

PSG, Bayern, Real, Liverpool, Barca, Arsenal all buying players from mid level EPL teams.

But aye 'over rated'.

Aren’t they good?

10 years ago Sevilla could go to Lille, Monaco, or Rennes and take key young talents for relatively modest fees. This advantage no longer exist.

When were Sevilla taking Monacos 'key young talents'?

Making things up.

Other teams take them anyway.. so French league stays fighting with the Dutch in coefficient.

 

[serghei]

Funds or no funds Bilbao is giving Arsenal a game at the level of the top 5-6 in England so far. Very even. And they don't have Nico.

Arsenal should 4-0 them looking at budget. Nowhere near.

Geoffrey Kondogbia, but it was from Lens. The example wasn't literal.

Not even close to being factual.

 

[Barcaman]

Would normally root for Bilbao but not after our last match and recent developments. They hate Barca.

You claiming he was regarded as a top talent by Monaco and Sevilla came in to take him?

Sensational.
