Just don't like that team.

I'm with you. It's simply a money club.

Tonight, we will watch the second matchup between Rb Leipzig and A Madrid.
in my eyes, Madrid will clearly reach the semi-finals.

So you do not believe the comments from Nagelsmann that Timo Werner was holding others back? :lol:

Kind of looks like an idiot move that they sold Cunha to Hertha.

But yeah, Atletico will take care of this.

Imagine Leipzig making it to the final...Timo Werner will forever hate himself for running away from what would have been the greatest game of his career.

Upamecano is a beast.
Apparently has a release clause of 42M that can be triggered after the season 20/21.

How can you compare PSG situation to those others? The others are ridiculously rich and a stain on real football but PSG don't have ANY other team in their country that can compare with them for spending. A true abomination in football and makes ligue 1 a far worse place for it.

As you state there are several teams in Spain and England that can at least compete.

I wish there was a european elite league for the clubs you mention but then your team would be near the bottom of it each year.

Day 3:
Bayern Munich vs. FC Barcelona

I think, Munich will go to the semi-finals...

Wow Bayern is taking Barca apart so far, just about 30 minutes in.

What a laugher

Foye · Post #194 » by **Foye** » Fri Aug 14, 2020 7:44 pm

Bayern is back at that 12/13 level.

JohnPferdelack · Post #195 » by **JohnPferdelack** » Fri Aug 14, 2020 7:58 pm

No chance for Barca so far.

ZoLo · Post #196 » by **ZoLo** » Fri Aug 14, 2020 8:51 pm

Now they have to win the trophy. They are on a another level atm.

At first this game was funny,but in the end its was just sad xD

JohnPferdelack · Post #198 » by **JohnPferdelack** » Fri Aug 14, 2020 9:00 pm

Hopefully Lyon wins tomorrow, then we have each two french and german teams in the next round.

Well, you also need to know that the taxe situation beneficiate greatly Spain, Italy and England (between 20% and 30% in those countries VS 50% in France).
You also have the King of Spain that litteraly canceled Real MAdrid's debt for decades and decades.
Yes they have a print of European football because of a old system that was hiding all the sh*t that modern football is showing now with all the medias and communication. All these clubs have raised their competitivity via scandals among other scandals.

Other problem, we never blame Liverpool who got bought by US, we never blame Milan who got bought by Japanese BUT whenever muslims are buying PSG and Man City they become THE target !
Would like to specify that i would never dare to englobe you in this previous statement, just an overall thought abt muslim owners are treated in this big old white world that is Football.

Being from Paris and have supported PSG forever i'm not specially happy to see that PSG got bought by a criminal state. And im fully aware that PSG is used to promoto a fake image of Qatar all around the world, hiding all the horrific events thats happening there (World Cup attribution, slavery, money fraud, ...etc)
But we talk abt football, and i know it's hard to separate football and money.
PSG is a very well managed club, spending money smartly since they are becoming the highest and fastest rise economicly via investments and buying players that will bring you lots of money as well (Neymar and Mbappe's transfers were paid back in 6 months)

Wrong. It's all about fairness - hence why FFP is a thing. PSG and City became a contenders overnight, and have since had dobious and questionable sponsorships posting insane amounts of money in the clubs that easily overstates the real value of the clubs. So that's the reason behind the hatred towards City and PSG - it doesn't matter if their owners are arabs or white europeans. Just look at Chelsea - there has been so much hate towards them because they did the exact same thing, just before FFP became a thing.

Do you have any studies proving that? Cause i highly doubt that.

Who will win it?
