I see Roma have signed another solid player on a free transfer (N'Dicka), someone you were keen on @Vesper

Ancelotti seems to be Brazil- retirement bound, surprised still no rumors of Madrid being all over Graham Potter, top manager, visonnary, virtuoso and generally likable lad.

Juventus suggesting UEFA should ban them from Conference league lol that's how much they want to play it.

Beautiful story so far in Champions league qualification from Faroe Islands team. Knocked out Hungarian and Swedish side and now beat Norwegians in first leg. Hope they reach CL, football is their hobby.

AEK beat Dinamo 2-1 in Zagreb.
The Croats were 1-0 up at half time but in the second half they were crushed - could have been 5-1 for the Greek team.
In the last five minutes with AEK 2-1 ahead their keeper Livakovitch made four (4 !) fantastic saves to keep the score down.

Meanwhile Panathinaikos looks like going down to Marseille.

Copenhagen had an insane match tonight. 0-0 at home against Sparta Prague... and went behind two times in extra time. But got to it at the end, with a panenka by 17 year old Roony

Sadly they didnt in the end, but still a massive achievement for them .

Panathinaikos too went through - the bat's bone worked.

Panathinaikos is said to be the team with the bat's bone.
Look what happened yesterday.

lol, shamrocks and bat bones

Aube scored twice against Panathinaikos.
There were two more Marseille goals in which he had direct involvement, fractionally offside disallowed by VAR.
A small difference in pace compared to premier makes all that difference in a player !

In Zagreb Dinamo lost also because of lack of pace.
Whereas they pressed and dominated in the first half, in the second half the Dinamos were ... searching for water !
So AEK found ways to play their game and they could have won by more.

Sevilla average age of that lineup must be close to 30. 

[Magic Lamps 11,653]

I was worried that half of sevillas lineup would die of old age while that cross was in the air but Ey nesiri outjumped Ake and Gvardiol with ease to plant that one 

[NikkiCFC 7,953]

Looking at City bench they can only bring Alvarez for attack. They lack depth. 

[Magic Lamps 11,653]

En nesyri missing the easy ones. That one should have been it. Don’t see city coming back from 2 against such a disciplined side 

[Fulham Broadway 16,854]

Citeh to win this now
