OFFICIAL FOOTY THREAD ⚽️: Champions League resumes this week

[Coupé It]

MFers act like Barça don’t get calls since forever too. It’s hilarious.

Both of y’all get calls.

Makes me sick.

This is true. UEFA loves both of their Spanish children very much

 

[rolaholic]

Dean Henderson got Forest to the semi yet he won't be able to play in them

 

[rolaholic]

Big upsets today

 

[Coupé It]

Wait Raheem Sterling is injured too?

So Felix is going to have to play LW for a while?

That’s not his best position man. He needs to be playing False 9 or behind a 9.

 

[jape]

This is true. UEFA loves both of their Spanish children very much

not recently. the inter match was travesty

also it’s not just uefa. it’s the world. no matter how many americans or oilers come to the prem to buy teams its still the 2 biggest clubs in the world.
so basically all y’all’s clubs are smaller than a europa team





don’t sleep on al nasir though

 

[Verde Shuttles]

We are struggling physically, down about 4-6 players, sitting on a bunch of money, something needs to be done

 

[fluid hips]

Milan did it to themselves today. Players didn't want it.

Really like these kits. Hopefully we do them justice.

 

[Verde Shuttles]

That black kit is gonna do numbers

2026 World Cup is a lock.

I thought Jamaica had nice kits under Umbro too.

But they’re leveling up here with Adidas.

 

[flyeed]

i’m just stating facts. i’d like to see the numbers in europe. i bet i’m right.

but flyeed do you think vinicius is gassed? foyth really pocketed him in the villarreal match

Find the numbers if it’s facts.

Vini looks to have regressed in certain respects. His vision and creativity is there. But his focus seems to be lacking. Seems to play worse when he’s engaged in verbal back and forths with his opponents and they’re in his head which is every match this season. Also isn’t quick enough to pull the trigger on a shot like he was last season and is holding it too much again now imo.

Vini is very much a player who’s productivity can be measured in G/A since he doesn’t really make big contributions in other facets. And lately it seems the goals and assists haven’t been flowing for him which has at times made him a bit of a liability. In the end of the day tho he’s a player who can decide a match in a flash. So it’s hard to bench him but I wouldn’t be opposed to him and Rodrygo splitting some match time to give him a break at LW, especially against less talented sides.

Buy Leão.

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Alaba, Tchouameni, Militao, Camavinga, LV all injured
Valverde (knock)
Mendy & Carvajal could barely play, shouldn't have played today

 

[tomdiginson]

2026 World Cup is a lock.

The squad is looking decent. Got Leon, Demari, and Bobby Reid. Not sure about Antonio. He might still be around if he still got his pace.

 

[Bazooka]

vinicius has been mid since before the world cup
he is probably tired

yeah he’s been finishing like he’s playing against RM

 

[Verde Shuttles]

He's getting doubled now all the time, he's gonna have to figure it out, or they gonna have to support him with an attacking LB

That opportunity he had today was all on him though. I do believe he is a bit tired though. I want to see Rodrygo get more time on that flank if Vini needs to rest a bit

Problem is the team needs players, you rest Vini and have to start Asensio. Asensio can't play in big matches because he doesn't really do anything but shoot.

 

[MetalMario]

Sheesh. That PK lineup of Benz, Mod, Kroos and Ascen. Complete confidence in those. Only one missing is Balotelli ( )

 

[fluid hips]

Zlatan getting paid to be a cheerleader at milan or what?

That money could be used on a player that can actually play.

After watching today's game, it's safe to say Leao wants to leave Italy.

He came on as a sub tho right? Pioli is doing that thing Managers do when they play their B team in Cup competitions and expect to win.

But yea, he looked fed up and pissed on Sunday when Milan conceded two goals in Stoppage time. I’ve never seen him mad like that before. And I’ve seen dudes try to obliterate him slide tackling while he just gets up and brushes it off.

I would actually like to see an Angry Leão. He’s not being moved this window anyways, not a chance.
