@sportingintel@phlwll@paolinho14@Sjopinion10@bbclaurak So if she knew nothing about the unaccounted for money, surely she would have been enthusiastic to empower the auditors to find out the state of play - then been perturbed when they all left because they were given no access?
Superstars at Barca, PSG & Bayern Munich press like demons because that's the modern game in which every player has to contribute, on and off the ball. Florentino Perez indulges his stars & the team suffers. What's Mbappe really going to go if he's told to work harder - leave?

Do these idiots deliberately post miles -off stats as they know theyโll get more engagement that way from people telling them theyโre wrong? Is this good social media strategy these days?

Italian top coaches switching jobs between the same few top Italian teams is hilariously similar to 14th century mercenary commanders in Italy switching allegiances between the same small pool of powerful states in the peninsula.
The 14th Century condottieri carousel:
@RobPurcell82 As I said, nothing against CP but them winning just acerbates the issue the competition has. It was intended to give lower & middle order clubs in Europe a platform, but all it gives is an easy cup win for whatever English side is in it because of the financial gulf to the rest.
This Final is following the same pattern as last year in which the non-English team puts so much into the game for a half or an hour to stay with the English team, then tires and gets galloped all over the top of.
As much as I miss the old days of the European Cup, that eastern European clubs ceased to be competitive is down to huge geopolitical changes post 1989, not the Champions League.
It happened three times in the 1930s and early 40s, but post war there have only been three seasons when neither Milan nor Juventus have finished in the top four places in Serie A - 1965/66, 1984/85 and this one.
Risible nonsense. Claims to not remember anything about how his crash came about, suggests the car was not right then, comically, speaks of a recurring dream he subsequently had in which a white van swerves in front of him causing the crash, offering this as a potential reality
โฝ My bulky leg absorbed the crash. It's probably what saved me

They said heโd struggle in English football.
He won the league with 100 points.
They said he couldnโt win it back to back.
He won the Domestic Quadruple.
They said heโd never win the European Cup, heโd never win 3 leagues in a row and heโd definitely never win the Treble.
He did all three in one season.
He then did the unthinkable and won 4 leagues in a row.
The greatest manager of all time.
