The European Leagues & Competitions Thread V2

[Azul 1,615]

What is the purpose of watching football if there's no consequences for a team that has been losing? What a horrible concept the Super League is, it literally destroys the essence of football.

IF we lose key players and Tuchel over this, I am done.

WTF, we are on the verge of something special again.

And now this shit?????

Tuchel will bounce and go to Bayern

[Vesper 29,064]

ATLETICO MADRID BARCELONA

The keys to PSG and the Bundesliga’s rejection of the European Super League

https://www.football-espana.net/2021/04/19/the-keys-to-psg-and-the-bundesligas-rejection-of-the-european-super-league

12 of Europe’s biggest clubs announcing that they’ve agreed to form a new competition, the European Super League, according to Diario AS. The 12 clubs, including La Liga heavyweights Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Real Madrid, have announced themselves as founding members, but two clubs notable in their absence were Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain, who’ve declined to become founding members.

this is entirely possible. Could easily be just a bluff or a reaction that the CL reform is not enough for those clubs. But JPM is seirous about this and they would not try if they wer enot confident those clubs would pull through. Either way something in football is broken now without repair.

At the end of the day I will still be watching this. 

But I hope it don't ends up like a fail football league that WWE tried to make (XFL), total failure that. 

However this is different because you have the biggest club that here in US people follow. Real Madrid, Barcelona, Liverpool, Manchester United, City, Chelsea, Juventus, Inter etc etc. As in the words of 2008 crisis, they are "too big to fail". These clubs do have great power in pulling this and they will do it as people all over the world will continue to watch them. 

Now the leagues will be fool by kicking these teams out. They are dead without Real Madrid, Barcelona and such. So they should play it smart. 

I will still support Chelsea and watch these matches.
