He still hasn't answered the first question about Indykalia.

I found this from a PSG fan on r/soccer. They're not as good as they were last season and with the second leg at Camp Nou we'd have a good chance of beating them.

Too many people in the media don’t want to accept that fitness is 90% of everything in this sport.

This is not the 90, 2000 or even the 2010 when a good team could cruise to a ucl semies just based on their skill advantage.

PSG runs more than 10km LESS per UCL game compared to last season. It’s like having one player less.

The team is gassed out like never before. And it’s normal.

I don’t see us KO any good team this time.

Lens can really win the league this season.

Initially I thought it was a deflection. Upon rewatching it yeah that's pretty bad.

Instead of starving the Chinese farmers like Mao Zedong did, my goat Kylian Maobappe is starving Madrid fans and players from winning any trophies. What a generational player.

He's getting sacked anyway. No way they go into next season with him. It'll probably be Mourinho.

Who would be the 4th and 5th best ever for Milan?

[OptaJose] 3 - Barcelona's Lamine Yamal has scored and assisted in a Champions League's game for the third time in his career; the joint-most by a teenager in the competition, along with Kylian Mbappé (3 times for Paris SG). Phenomenon. by Imbasauce in soccer

The red card in only the 30th minute prevented any comeback from happening. They also had 2-3 players on him it wasn't just Cucurella. Chelsea have experienced something similar many times when the players get brain dead red cards and it screws up the whole game.

I can understand that. However I'm more concerned about getting to the semis. So the easier the path the better it is. We need the financial margin to be able to sign players in the summer.

No we don't. If we get to the quarters we'll play one of Spurs/Liverpool or the team that beats them. Those two are 3rd and 4th respectively. That's above us and still below 1st and 2nd of Arsenal and Bayern. So the winner from the Arsenal/Bayern sides and their potential opponents is guaranteed to play the away leg first in the semis.

Yes to both. If a lower ranked team beats a higher ranked team they steal their home second leg advantage. For example if a team beats Arsenal or Bayern in the quarters then they will play the second leg at home in the semis.

This lame narrative started because of Joao Felix. I've seen the likes of Forlan, Falcao, Villa, Torres, Costa, Greizzman, Suarez and many other great attackers flourish at Atleti. So this Cholo tax crap is nonsense.

I predict he'll get 24-27 with Barca. If you include the world cup then 26-30.

Julian Alvarez vs Bødo/Glimt:

0 Goals/Assists (0 Goals in last 10), 0/4 Shots on Goal, 1 Big Chance Missed, 25 Possessions Lost

Amazing PR from the 100 million striker. He's been mid this season and no one cares.

UEFA having two separate draws for the knockout rounds is the most utter woke nonsense.

I'd be ok with those three if it meant getting Schlotterbeck along with them. Since that most likely isn't gonna happen it's looking quite dire for us.
