Was inevitable they win it at some point. Can't wait for Pep to go away.

Inter did better than I expected. They could've won this if they had any decent attackers.

Congratulations @Appleyard, nice to see a bit of history made.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

3 European finals, 3 European losses.

Serie A <<<<<

Haaland couldn’t even score on a third place Serie A team.

Premier League is a bunch of farmers.

Congratulations @Appleyard, nice to see a bit of history made.

Thanks! Amazing day.

Albeit sad I am not in Manchester for it.

And not quite cried (like did with FA Cup and Premier League in 2011 and 2012) though I was close... GF I think stopped me by laughing and asking was I going to cry ahaha.

You're right. But that same team let Rodri, the DM, score.

 

[trostol]

Booo

At least it wasn't ManU

 

[PDX Flyer]

Let's go Man City, I guess?

And I thought you were a respectable poster .. jk

Booo

I resent this but United are still the first team to win the treble.... and once again... thank you for dropping Gunnar. His stats are awesome since

Real and City have to be the only options? Can't see him going to United or Chelsea.

It's real. Especially with the rumor that Pep won't go beyond his current deal. Real would have to hire someone Mbappe absolutely hates when Ancelotti leaves next summer for it to not happen.

Kane unlucky again lol. Wonder how Mbappe even fits in at Real though. I assume they'd just play him through the middle, but idk.

One of these is not like the others.

Just went with the richest clubs.

Vini mbappe Rodrigo. Mbappe and vini couls interchange, similar to how he and benzema often did, except Mbappe is a much more fluid player.

Kane can go to Bayern - Tuchel wanted him at Chelsea, can't imagine thats changed.

Completely forgot about Bayern. Makes sense.

 

[Appleyard]

Can't imagine City getting Mbappe.

Have been veeeery careful (naturally) with the Financial rules since 2018 (220 million pounds net transfer spend over 5 seasons, so 44 million a year).

I know Silva will likely go this summer, and maybe a couple of others. But they really can't go back to the 2014-2018 days of 100+ million net spend in a year, and Mbappe would blow that out of the water.

And still have Grealish, Foden, Mahrez in winger spots and Haaland and Alvarez in CF spot even if Silva goes. Not exactly like they "need" him.

 

[Chinatown88]

That's a lot of money

 

[FLYguy3911]

He must hate England.

 

[Appleyard]

He must hate England.

He seems a pretty smart, well-spoken guy. Plus he is from Birmingham...

So odds are he does aha.

Tbh I spent 18 months living in Birmingham and that alone made me want to leave England even more. (Manchester is rougher from experience, more crime, but more to do aha.)

 

[Striiker]

That's a lot of money

 

[Appleyard]

So now Haalands age 22 season is over...

he is at:

208 senior goals in 242 games.

At same age, the two highest scorers in professional football history?

Messi: 98 in 219 games.
Ronaldo: 72 in 268 games.

 

[Starat327]

Don't worry, you'll spend a quarter of thay money and find twice the player again, just like you have for the last 10 years.
