Abu Dhabi FC will happily replicate Barcelona; isn't there a fake Las Vegas there? We can't do that nor should we.


It’s the movement on and off the ball that is years ahead of us.

Amazing how City get away with so many tactical fouls with no punishment.

Can’t see them out scoring city and they can’t come and play counter ball when they need 2 goals. Will play right into city’s hands when they attack.

Sure they will score but city basically in the final now.

Think it's over unless PSG figure out how to never lose possession. Neymar and Mbappe barely touched the ball in the 2nd.

PSG can't handle the press that City can apply, provided City have enough possession they will score, and PSG aren't good enough to deny them that possession ... to win I reckon PSG need 3/4 goals, when did City last concede that many?

KDB cross went straight in.


Interestingly all of Alisson, Ederson, Mendy, Navas, Neuer, and ter Stegen made one (or more) howlers in the last 2 UCL ties alone.

It's really simple to fix this.
Cap annual transfer budgets and wages to a level where the big clubs CAN'T outspend the smaller clubs.
Money should play absolutely zero part in who wins trophies.
Football badly needs the opportunity for all back in the game - so the likes of Villa and Forest CAN win the Champions League / European Cup again.
Until that happens, we'll continue to see the value of winning trophies degraded to the point they are worthless.
European trophies have become just mini-tournaments of the last 8 (or 4) in the CL and it's basically just the final in the EL.
Ironically, the new Europa Conference League will probably be the most competitive - despite it being a joke.

Money has always played a part in who wins trophies.

I think FFP was a good idea if it had been applied correctly and enforced. But it wasn't.

Wayy too late for all this talk.

The top tier of footballers are now accustomed to things like £300k pw pay packages. Ronaldo, Mbappe, Neymar etc. get paid even more than that. They're not going to accept salary caps. They will go elsewhere.

Gulf countries are probably salivating at the thought of bringing all these superstars into a Gulf Super League.
