One team is ‘trying’ to win their first while the other has it as an expectation to go get to Semis atleast, anything else (and even KO in semis) could be a failure.

Crazy things happen in the Champions League bro.

RM could win three in row.

They can also go on 14 year drought during their “Galácticos” era.

You saw it happen - This is Football.
 
That's a crazy clause in his contract.
Is the skiing accident the source of his falling out or is there more tot he story?

he went skiing after the WC to clear his mind from being knocked out. skiied at a resort that warned the snow was at a very low level and dangerous. he went ahead and hit the slopes anyway and snapped his leg. the board was very unhappy with his decision to risk injury with half a season to go and theres been a pretty big falling out. we fired the GK coach who's his best friend and had been with us since he moved to bayern. this summer will be interesting to see if he's able to get healthy in time for preseason and still perform at a high level

A component to the fall out.
Bayern got rid of a keeper coach that Neuer was close with but had other elements that the club didn't like (claims he played favorites, didn't work with the youth the say way he did with Neuer and leaked private upper management discusses to Neuer frequently). The club took opporunity to rid itself of the headache with the idea Neuer would be out for an extended period. Neuer then did a similar interview to Ronaldo's "blasting" the club.

PSGEETLES LET US DOWN
 
Mbappe played like garbage because he knew the better PSG did in the CL, the better case he'd be helping make an L for the Balon D'or for him and the inevitable W for Messi
 
Mbappe also being made captain doesn't help PSG. Players aren't going to give it their all out of jealousy/spite.

He's not ready to be captain. Too young. Ramos would've made a better captain in the game.
 




Literally told the media that she wouldn't step down yesterday, unlike De Graet, calling the best players boycotting her and exposing her as part of some smear campaign :lol:

FFF basically said it's not up to you :rofl:
 
more disappointing career

pogba or neymar?
Both been disappointing but Neymar was really supposed to have next during the Messi and Ron era. Was supposed to be a B'Dor winner and lead Brazil back to glory and it hasn't worked out at all unfortunately since leaving Barca.

Most of it has been his own doing too. Pogba at least held up part of the bargain at the international level but at club level a mix of poor circumstances and guidance/decision making stopped him from living up to his potential. He had big expectations early on too but not on the same level as Neymar imo.

someone made a great point that neymar's worst move was being born in the messi era
all those expectations were put on him but imo if you just look at accolades and not expectations... neymar > pogba
