Just watched Bayern v. Borussia Dortmund.
Incredible match, Bayern won 4-2 from 2-0 down. Levandowski scored three, both Dortmund goals scored by Haaland.
Bayern are visibly the best team in Europe:

- Accurate long distance balls.
- Tremendous strength, they come out winners out of hard tackling situations & they 're not afraid to get into those.
- Levandowski, Miller up front

Their defense is also good and hard for opponents to go through, despite those two Dortmund goals.

Why did Juventus sack Sarri and not hire Inzaghi? Lazio 1-0 up v Juventus and deservedly so. Lazio maybe not doing so well this season but he has seriously overachieved with that group.

Never thought it would come to a point where we see a team being rather heavily reliant on Morata.

The brylcream man played well for Atletico and for Juve.

This seems to be a proposal from the ECA, which aims to solidify the positions of the clubs in the CL. In theory, it would protect teams like Ajax, Dortmund, Lyon, and Monaco from losing out on their best players whilst they're in the CL. On the other hand, it would also protect teams like Barcelona from losing out on players to the likes of PSG and City. This would also raise the prices of non-CL players as the demand for them would increase.

Demirel has been a joke every time I watched him lately. 0:1

I see Morata has squandered two big chances? 👀

This Juve is just not working out.

It was fair. Very stupid move from the Iranian guy. After whistle you don’t kick the ball out of the stadium, especially if you are booked.

Huge mistake in such level and such competive match.

Sarr great shot. 

Morata Mr. Offside

in isolation both cards were very harsh and more so in combination. punishment for kicking the ball away is very inconsistently applied and should in no way decide a CL k.o. game
