All new UCL 24/25

Dom

It's tough to face up to it, but our two best players are English and both have lost two major finals for the national team, let league titles slip away and have underperformed in a CL semi. We need another X factor to counteract the English DNA proneness to face splat at the final hurdle.

Gurgen

At least Inter isn’t a sportswashing project by an islamofascist oil state. They’re shit but they’re an actual football club.

Mirth

Meatwad Liverpool and Firmino made it work. As long as there’s someone in the front three scoring 20+, it’s fine

Meatwad

Mirth
well when you have a generational wide man like mo salah and a not so generational but still elite mane you can do that. we don't have that. inter certainly doesn't and it's no wonder both clubs rely on set pieces and what should be strong defenses.

Claudius

Barcola showing off his awful conversion rate. The one thing he needs to work on

JazzG

Gurgen They’ve got lucky in getting Enrique, he’s quite strong willed and they’ve backed him but time in building the team how he wants. A bit of a blessing that Neymar, Messi and Mbappe left.

Like you say they kept spending until they got it right. Highest wages in the CL and spend money for fun. Saw a tweet earlier that mentioned a few examples, Muani 90m, Goncalo 75m, Ugarte 65m and these are just in the last 2 years

Mirth

Pathetic performance from Inter. Actually embarrassing end to their season.

IBL

Shambles from Inter

Coombs

Wow. Really pathetic defending.

Claudius

Wow just wow. This is AC Milan 94 levels

Mirth

Claudius frankly Inter have been woeful too. Losing is fine but conceding 5 at this level is an embarrassment

lorddulaarsenal

PSG have the type of athletic ability in their attack that I badly want us to add to ours

Kel Varnsen

We were better than them. Dominated 3/4 of the time across both matches.

DiabyKungFu

This Simone Inzaghi loser hasn't even won a Conference League title. 😆 😆 😆

Bryant

I wonder if Inzaghi is checked out and about to bounce to Saudi Arabia for his 35m dollar a year pay day lol

Mirth

Luis Enrique looks like he could still play 90 mins

JazzG

i'm certain that's not the wages of this 2024-25 edition. since that data is usually lagging it most likely includes mbappe and depending on the timing of the accounts it might include messi and neymar as well.

Claudius Nah, you guys are doing disservice to the work Campos and co have done. I saw the transfer fees of their starting 11 and there were no crazy fees. I was actually shocked at how relatively low they were considering the quality of their players and how much the likes of Man United and Chelsea have spent in recent years.

How much did Doue cost? Or Vitinha? Or Ruiz? Or Neves? Or Pacho? Never heard of him before. This victory is actually down to outstanding recruitment and coaching.

Claudius

Tactics dude, Barcola and Ramos who came off the bench cost a collective £110m.

Also per @JazzG, always follow the wage bill. It tells you where quality is

DiabyKungFu

Bryant I wonder if Inzaghi is checked out and about to bounce to Saudi Arabia for his 35m dollar a year pay day lol

When Senny Mayulu scores against you in a Champions League final, it's time to leave the continent.

lorddulaarsenal

Claudius except in Trafford 😂

Tactics

Claudius The likes of Chelsea and Man United don’t have players that cost that much on their bench ? Man United sent £73m Sancho on loan and I am not even gonna talk about Chelsea.

Barcola cost €45m - would you not pay more for him ?

Ramos cost €65m, OK they overpaid a bit but all clubs do when buying a striker that’s shit hot in Portugal. PSG aren’t spending more than they used to do, difference is, they are no longer buying mega stars for the sake of it. They are buying young, hungry players that fit the style they wanna play
