And Haaland did nothing...and imagine him playing for our fraud...instant Kean level
This is interesting point. It feels like Haaland style isnt suited with 10 other players on the field and Pep general style. His form also was up and down in epl at one point this season (didnt he go full month without scoring any goal and missed sitters during autumn/winter).

Also he went missing in the final last year. He seems to go missing in those big games and even english media picked on that this year. Seems quite limited imo for all that hype. The english media even started to make comparisons how Zlatan and Pep didnt get along, personalities aside, they are almost same height. Barca won stuff with midgets. Zlatan famously never made CL final, including at prime Barca.

It almost feels like play long ball forward style for that big umpa lumpa, but Pep is all ball on the feet manager. The styles dont match.

Real Madrid look like they're gonna win five of the next 10 CL's

Literally secured all the current and future best talents. And add to their CL DNA, gonna be hard to stop them.

JJ needed a Perez like visionary in the 90s and we could've easily been as big a brand and club as them.

When I see a guy like Allegro, he is a perfect representation of what Italian football has become.

Too proud of their football, wear pragmatism on their chest, refuse to adapt with the modern times, devoid of any Innovation or ideas etc

Heck, even in terms of colonization, Italy turned out to be big losers lol. No one speaks their language outside of Italy, on the contrary you have like 500 million strong Spanish speaking population and I bet large percentage of them are Madrid/La Liga fans.
Just like in life, the Roman Empire (which originated in what is now modern day Italy) was the GOAT empire. And they spread their lie language (Latin) around the world which formed the basis of all Romance languages. Huge influence culturally worldwide, were an inspiration for many cultures. They were the Serie A of 80s and 90s.

Modern day Italy is the Serie A of today.

As things stand now, Atalanta are 6th in the table, if they win the Europa league and stay 6th, then Italy has 6 CL spots.

With that many Italian teams we might finally take this competition seriously. #itstime

the other 5th spot almost certainly goes to the germans. villa is the only pl team left, even if they win their 3 potential matches, the germans would be fine with 2 wins from their (minimum) 6 remaining matches
