With Halland, Alvarez and de bruyne in form Bayern is gonna get a run for their money.
13 goals in 2 games. That's crazy.

Side note: The defensive game needs to evolve in football all over World. These blow outs are getting ridculous or rules need to benefit the defender a bit more.

 

I recall British pundits saying that whilst players could score 40 goals a season in Spain or Germany or France but no way could you do that in the EPL. Haaland has waltzed in and is smashing every record ever set in the EPL

 

OMG Thiago Almada! 😱

Absolute world-class strike. pic.twitter.com/cxnCYD0Rky

Might not have to worry about free kicks when Messi retires

 

What a free kick! Dude needs to get his butt in Europe ASAP

 

Im always curious how many goals guys like him & prime CR would score if they play in teams like Fiorentina , Parma, Roma,Lazio, West ham, Leeds, Zaragoza...

These days the rich clubs literally could form an Avengers type of squad , no wonder we keeps seeing more and more blow out victory.

 

I read articles few months ago, I believe its stated that Dybala actually in top 5 when it comes to conversion rate... higher than Messi. Its too bad he played many years with CR while Messi is no.1 FK taker in NT.

 

I always said that Dybala was "unlucky" that he's in the era of Messi. If he were a few years younger, he would have been the best successor for Messi in the NT.

But on the other hand, he did win the Finalissima and the World Cup so I would think that he is very satisfied

 

Almada what a shot. I can't wait for all our players to play this year.

 

If you want to see Almada, Enzo, Messi and Alvarez play together. 64: minute

 

Burnley are in the division below. They top it and will get promoted. The difference is the financial muscle of the petrodollar clubs. There's no way a small town club like Burnley can compete. They used to be one of the top clubs once upon a time when the playing field was fairly level.

The same applies to all the top European leagues. A few clubs have concentrated all the power into their own hands. As RH says they can buy who they want and store others in the reserves.

Chelsea for instance along with the others steal players from other club academies for almost nothing and then pile them up. My own club has seen it lose six players from our Academy to Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City, Celtic, Leeds and Liverpool. What is the point of us having an Academy ?

We had Sancho in our Academy. We lost him for £600000. And you see what he was transferred for. It's a disgrace.

 

Almada has more than enough talent to have a high level career in Europe. I'd like him to go to Ajax or Sevilla and make a name for himself before moving on up the ladder. He's a great dribbler, passer and shooter.

 

These pundits are dumb. Remember Souness and Carragher. Licha can never be a PL defender.

 

Yeah …. He says that it’s all he wants soooo play for nothing !!

 

Benefit the defenders more !?!?!

They can now tackle heavily from behind or barge / block attackers without even getting a warning .. often the ref just plays on with the attacker lay slumped on the ground

 

At least Carragher puts Messi & Maradona in his top 2 GOAT list

 

Pala with two penalties for Leverkusen v Munich.

 

Looks like we’ll have to wait for Messi to hit 800 in the albiceleste shirt. Much more deserved than doing it for los muertos de PSG with their ungrateful fans.

 

Absolutely disgusting and lowest iq fans ever seen even saltier after we took a dump on mbappe and their African stars.

Messi their best player, generates the most chances literally the only one while mbappe miss after miss (halland is better no comparison mbappe doesn't even want to be a 9 mostly because he can't). They worship their trash like veratti who made so many crucial mistakes in their losses

Anyway Messi doesn't defend meanwhile stats say:

WTF! Messi, the ATTACKING midfielder, has the MOST ball recoveries and pressing of all PSG players on the pitch 😭😭😭😭😭😭 pic.twitter.com/JENtF5LvgK

Juve v Inter.

Soulé gets the start for Juve. Paredes, ADM, and Barrenechea are on the bench. Lautaro starts and Tucu Correa is on the bench. * Carboni is also on the bench.

 

Pezzela injured, hopefully someone will replace him for upcoming friendlies.

Paredes gets a red at 97th minute, just like Pepe.

 

Embarassing to admit this as a grown adult, but I'm as a giddy as a teenager about to go on a first ever date about the Argentina friendly games. Only thing is because I live in England I doubt if anyone will be showing games live for me to watch.

 

I was hopeful when Xabi Alonso was Leverkeusen's new manager and now I'm glad to see Palacios blossoming. Maybe one more season with consistent minutes at Leverkeusen under Alonso and he should target a big club in the summer of 2024
