You can obviously support whichever club you want. It's just disingenuous to say that it's an "oil money" club.

FotMob - follow players and it will send alerts when they start, subbed on and off, and any key stats.

Not Champions league, but Union Berlin and Malmo have been on pause for the last 15 minutes because of flares being shot onto the pitch.

Or they could just not pay some player wages for a bit again.


They're probably still paying Messi somewhere.


I should have been more confident in this comment. He's still owed deferred wages. Not sure they can kick the can much further.

Ok now do Barca
they're the football club equivalent of $250,000 in student loan debt, $100,000 in credit card debt, hitting year 6 on a 5/1 ARM where the teaser rate was 2.5% and it's about to jump to 15%, every Penny they could get out of their house in HELOC loans, multiple payday loan liens on the car title, and selling plasma weekly just to scrape by to keep the lights on for a little longer.

I think that's giving them more credit than they deserve.

I'm pretty sure they're basically straight-up crack *****s at this point.

$5 is $5 when you're in Barca's current situation

That "referee" commentator is useless. She did a very poor job explaining the law and why this would be considered a handball.

I love it. I have a Juventus "friend" that I enjoy his misery. And my sports life is dim so I will gladly revel in schaudenfreude.

Did Ray Hudson just call Olivier Giroud's errant header a "garlic milkshake?"

Does he come to the stadium with a list of bizarre statements and he just works his way down the list?

That's an old standby for Ray. I've heard him use it before when describing a bungled scoring opportunity.
People think I'm an idiot or something, because all I do is cut lawns for a living.

It probably makes him happier than a dog with 2 tails.

Dest gets off the bench in the 37'; a pleasant surprise. Hope he takes advantage of the minutes and improves his performance.

Reyna getting minutes in Dortmund's match (subbed in 71').

CCV starts for Celtic today.

McKennie subbed off at halftime.

Madrid finish! Kroos to Rudiger multiple times by himself in the box for headers till it works.

As a Leipzig fan, I'm thrilled y'all got that.

CCV looked good. Celtic defense as a whole did pretty well and only conceded late. CCV had a moment where he was 1-on-1 with Nkunku and came out on top… had another where Nkunku nutmegged him for a shot on goal that was saved but he was in the right place and you can't win them all against that level of talent.

It's a shame he wasn't available this last window. I'm convinced he's our best right now.

Inter can bring Christmas early with a win and yellow card for busquets today.

Hala Madrid!

After this summer, I'm rooting hard for Barca to flop.

I'd love to see Plzen draw Bayern today, a) to make Bayern extra hungry and crush Barca next week and b) to setup a juicy Plzen home game against Barca where Plzen could go to Europa League with a win and bounce Barca out of European competition money.

It was inevitable given that no team with 9 points through 3 matches has failed to advance. But still seeing Napoli and Brugge get through is awesome especially considering Brugge is the type of team that Agnelli doesn't believe should even be in the competition.

Indeed. But Inter just equalized, so we can still hope for more there.

Europa League pays a small fraction of what the Champions League pays. Would still be gratifying.

Ter Stegen made two absurd saves in added time. That game got intense QUICKLY.

Barca are still in a pretty horrible position. First tie breaker is head-to-head which Inter owns. Means that all Inter has to do is beat Pilzen and they are through.
