[jape]

The cold rainy weather was the MVP

 

[Armada]

Great all around performance no one worse than a 7/10.

Split MOTM between that whole backline and Rodri especially

If not for Sommer it could’ve been five he was impressive. If not for a Upamacano disaster it could’ve been 1-0 if not level on the flip side. Thin margins

gg city fans. clearly the better team today. i love tuchel, but imo he got it wrong today by not starting muller.

 

[cs02132]

At least City will continue to focus on the CL ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You know I thought this too but they can just play 3 different teams for each competition they’re in peaking at just the right time

 

[fluid hips]

Kate looking delectable

 

[rolaholic]

Inter having a mediocre season in the league yet are 90 mins away from the CL semi's

 

[tomdiginson]

Tuchel got his tactics wrong today.

 

[rolaholic]

The people got spanked today...

Farmer talk.

Bayern should get their money up.

 

[MetalMario]

Just like the video posted days earlier that Bayern sell the most jerseys. They're the symbol of the last "real" club. Fan owned and cater to their people. People flock to authenticity. You can't hate and have to respect it.

They did their math and laid out business strategy, and turned into the farmers league owner and take its best players. THAT people can hate on

that was what??

That fan ownership model sounds great in theory but it's a little unfair applying that expectation to the rest of the top leagues when a grand total of 2 professional leagues around the world have anything resembling the 50+1 rule.

Also its application in the most high profile case has resulted in a league of 1 where one club has an absolute monopoly on domestic talent and trophies (11 straight league titles). As noble as it sounds, it's application hasn't exactly produced results that other leagues would enjoy replicating.

Hoping they just say forget the title





One can dream...

Bayern Munich is partly owned by Adidas, Audi, and Allianz. They also have their sugar daddies.

Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Athletic Bilbao are fully fan-owned.

Benfica bums. Porto better.

Bayern lost against FC Polka Dots too and are out of the German Cup.

Crazy.

Nagelsmann has to be smiling.

 

[rolaholic]

Lowkey 'Pool would be better off investing that Jude money into 2 midfielders.

They'd be in a much better place signing like 2 of the likes of Caicedo, Kone, Mount, Nunes, Palhinha, Ward-Prowse and MacAllister instead of 1 Bellingham who would hamstring their budget for improving elsewhere as well.

 

[Bosa]

napoli vs ac milan will be the match of the week

 

[Bazooka]

Goddamn

I don’t blame Cristiano going to Saudi to stat pad. He knows one day his goal scoring record will be obliterated unless he plays till 45+
