Everyone is going to argue between Arsenal breaking the curse or PSG’s trophies, but the real story here is Bodø/Glimt. In the modern hyper-commercialized era of football, a club from a town of 50,000 people inside the Arctic Circle making a European Club of the Year shortlist isn't just an anomaly, it’s a miracle. Their entire wage bill is probably less than what PSG or Arsenal spend on single player agent fees. That’s the real triumph of football.

Let's be clear: that was tactical cowardice. It takes guts to defend deep but more to back yourself to keep going. That Konsa-Gordon sub will live in my head until the Euros. Don't tell us that it will be different if you're going to make exactly the same mistakes.
Not sure giving the best passer of all time the freedom to just do whatever he likes for 30 minutes will be looked back on particularly fondly.
Proper shit from Tuchel, say what you see, absolute shit.
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 53 YEARS, THE KNICKS ARE NBA CHAMPIONS 🏆
New York defeats San Antonio 4-1 in the NBA Finals, capturing their third championship in franchise history!
I think/hope history will remember Arne Slot kindly. Ultimately think a clean slate this summer is the right call for both parties but the scale of his achievement last season - and of the dignified manner in which he led the club last summer - should never be understated.
