PSG’s record in Champions League since the Qatari takeover is delightful
If the BuLi had 6 teams in the CL... sheesh... that'd be more subsidies to farmers than even the US government pays out.No. Since we're getting that 5th spot they count as qualifying via the league. Would be really funny though if after all the s*** EPL fans talked for the BuLi to be the first league to send 6 teams the CL
Well technically Franco was a colchonero, he couldn’t use Atletico as political weapon against Barca because let’s be honest Real was the better Madrid team

No he used Madrid as s political weapon, nothing moreI know this isn’t the Transfers thread, but since he’s being discussed I think it’s fair game. To a degree I think it’s fair to question why Madrid would still be pursuing Mbappe. They’re overrated, but they’re getting results consistently enough with Vinicius Junior leading the way. Rodrygo and other players step up when the chips are down as well and I just wonder if Mbappe potentially disrupts the team’s cohesion even if only off the pitch. And sure there’s no transfer fee, but his wages will be astronomical.
Madrid was his team, plain and simple. Their entire historical success can be traced back to Franco really. That’s subjective to a degree, but the argument is easy to make.

nah we were just better tbhAnd Madrid benefited and still benefit to this day. They were the team of the Franco regime and none of your revisionism will ever change that.

Football is dirtier than ever being backed by states that use slave labor. It's pretty pointless to debate who has the dirtiest history.
No, according to kicker the Bundesliga would send 6 teams in that case, but only if Dortmund stay in 5th place. Which could also lead to the weird situation that Frankfurt might intentionally lose against Leipzig on the last match day to ensure Dortmund stay 5th (but obviously only if Eintracht have secured 6th place themselves).No. Since we're getting that 5th spot they count as qualifying via the league.

Apparently the "performance spots" are awarded last. So it's the regular spots first, then the CL winner gets a spot, if he hasn't qualified via the league spots (hence why no 6th place if Dortmund make it to 4th place) and lastly the two best performing leagues are awarded an extra spot.Huh, I'll have to re-read about this in the morning. But I thought I checked on UEFA's website before the semis started.
I'm OK with that.Man if a German club wins the CL + EL, before Wirtz + Musiala lead the German NT to a medal this summer, we might never see that one poster again :-/
That second leg record is brutal omgView attachment 866765

I will tell you this much, there's some people in the capital that start to doubt they need Mbappe tooI know this isn’t the Transfers thread, but since he’s being discussed I think it’s fair game.

Well, I do not think we NEED him per se, but anyone who could get a player of that quality should at least entertain the idea.That second leg record is brutal omg

They did beat Dortmund and Leipzig in the shortened Covid year and also Bayern in 2021.0 wins - 0 draws - 5 losses against BuLi clubs in the knockout stages

Same here tbhNot sure I agree with Nacho starting over Militao. I guess Don Carlo thinks that Militao is not ready to go 120 minutes. Maybe he comes on later if needed.
The rest of the 11 makes complete sense. Let's go!
