Now @ManCity confirm they will not be furloughing staff during coronavirus pandemic. I am not sure 'well done' is the right response, more acknowledgement of a Premier League club doing the right thing amid a few - so far - who haven't.

Liverpool refuse to reimburse €17,000 to 290 Atletico fans who did not travel to Anfield for last month’s #UCL clash, after they were urged by Spanish government not to. Instead, Atletico covered the costs. #COVID19

Not a bad list overall but I'd put Maldini over Pique, Zidane over Gerrard and Raul over Henry...

If we're talking about most accomplished in the UCL era, I'd put Shevchenko over both of them (Raúl and Henry were better players without a doubt, mind).

How many UCLs does Sheva have?

Kaney · Apr 6, 2020

I included Raul because he has at least two UCLs and was at one point the all time UCL top scorer.

And I don't think he was a better player than Sheva. I'm not sure Henry was either.

Deplorable act from a deplorable institution. Sad to say that I am not surprised in the least. We all wish that every club could be as classy as Real or America, but that unfortunately is not the case.
