You 8-2 See One Team Score 9 Times- The Other Teams Thread

P$G didn't look that great to me, they are missing players but that sounds silly when you consider who was in the starting lineup. For me, the squad isn't balanced, a team like this needs players in attack who are going to sacrifice themselves both physically in the box and by contributing to the press.

 

Some people were being rather silly just giving them the CL trophy over the summer.

I expect them to be a serious challenger in the end but you can take nothing for granted in this competition.

 

Nah.
He's too old for that imo.
Unless it's to semi-retire at MLS or China.

 

idk who the rb of sporting is, but Antony made him look like a little kid

 

People are so particular about where they live and I understand

but I’m weird. Just simple dude

Like what matters to me is my family, my fitness, having a comfortable home, be able to watch movies and shows, and have places to visit.

 

Well he hasn't been away from a non Spanish speaking country since he was a boy, so there's that.

Edit: Nevermind, they misquoted him

 

One of my major grouse with the last ESL was inclusion of teams like Arsenal, Milan, Leipzig and Spurs. These teams have done very little to be considered among the European elite clubs. If you have Arsenal, Milan you can as well have Bremen Valencia Lazio and Schalke

 

Not entirely true. They bring in bigger revenue and a larger fanbase.

 

True, although BCN >>>> Paris. Messi is probably experiencing a bit of a culture shock, and not the good kind. But its only a 2-year contact, right? Don't see him leaving before that (even if he had a choice).

I berated Florentino for years for nothing doing anything. After he missed Mbappe; Florentino saw the entire Forrest.

I could only see the trees.

 

you went hard after him man

how could you? The man is a blessing

 

Romeu on why Barca rejected CVC deal at the expense of losing Messi:

"In the end, Mr. Tebas has done the work of Messi for us. We had a problem called Fair Play due to an inherited situation, but if we signed a document, things would have changed. In the end that was not possible because it was something undeniable. That compromised the solvency of the club and was a 50-year mortgage for an exorbitant price. The fund invests 2,000 million euros and turns it into 22,000 million euros. That for a club like Barcelona represents a financial cost of more than 13% interest and we have the option of financing ourselves below 2%.

That operation was ruinous. We would have loved for Messi to continue, but in those terms we could not do it. Above everyone is the club. Obviously the responsibility lies with the club, but we inherited a catastrophic situation and these are the consequences. "

"In the first training session, I remember that Capello chose me. After a year, I scored 27 goals, Cristiano 26 ... and in the summer they brought Benzema and Kaká in. I said: "It can't be. How many goals do I have to score? I'm a scorer and you bring me Benzema and Kaká.

"Karim came and made me get the best of myself and me of him. With Benzema it was a very healthy competition. He made us both perform. You could see that he was a terrific striker. Unfortunately, we didn't get to play much together."

Did he forget that Benzema and Kaka joined in the same season as Ronaldo?

 

Sounds butthurt.

So in Higauin’s head he thinks he out scored Cristiano Ronaldo in his first season at Madrid? Surely not that had to have been a misquote from the papers.
