Would be interesting to know whether that does in any form affect City's deal with Haaland.

Any clubs who buy Haaland will only need to pay his dad. City should be happy their biggest obstacle now gone.

because Gers are a sister club of Chels for ages

and the hate between The Old Firm is probably greater than between any other 2 clubs on the planet, with the possible exception of River Plate v Boca Juniors

each to their own but the assumption made by a lot of Chelsea supporters that if you support Chelsea then osmotically you support Rangers as well is misleading, not to mention Linfield now. not everyone considers themselves a blues brother.

The ten youngest players in the Best XIs are Jude Bellingham (Borussia Dortmund), Arsen Zakharyan (Dinamo Moskow), Ilya Zabarnyi (Dynamo Kiev), Adam Hložek (Sparta Prague), Nuno Mendes (PSG), Jakub Kamiński (Lech Poznań), Ryan Gravenberch (Ajax), Karim Adeyemi (RB Salzburg), Liel Abada (Celtic) and Jurriën Timber (Ajax).

Crazy to think that Xavi never won the award, while Modric and Benzema did.
