Dortmund and Leverkusen perfect through two match days, but Bayern loses to Villa and Leipzig allows 2 goals after Juve goes a man down to blow a 2-1 lead.

Villa's first CL home game since 1984.

What is the link between BVB and 🇧🇷?
Some of their most iconic players in modern club history were Brazilians. Julio Cesar, Amoroso, Dede.
They had lots of players from Brazil until the club nearly went bankrupt in the mid 2000's and they had to sell most of them.

Leverkusen used to be famous for scouting and buying lots of Brazilians, as well. Until Bayern pulled rank and took most of them away. :laugh:

Hockey has dumb unwritten rules but not being able to celebrate against your former club in soccer has to be the dumbest thing in sports.

In the 90s I thought Red Bull was a product made up for the Wipeout 2097 game on PlayStation. Then later on I saw it in supermarket.

People definitely shouldn't expect a 180 to Southgateball. Tuchel is pragmatic through and through. The difference is that he's better at tactics and usually has a match plan.

But in the big tournaments when the job of the national team manager also becomes to create the right atmosphere it will become clear that he's not a people person whatsoever. One or two losses and the drama that ensues will be glorious.
