    Anyone here watching the Champions league qualifications?.
    Salzburg vs FK Crvena zvezda is a crazy game.

    I wanna see Club Brugge doing well and reaching the knockout stage.
    Give me:
    Lokomotiv Moscow
    Benfica
    PSV Eindhoven
    Club Brugge

    Other than that it's going to be very interesting, Pot 3 got some strong team and Pot 4 got some nice team that can really surprise team from higher Pots.

    Can't wait for a fantasy combo of Bayern - Dortmund - Schalke04. Would have been dope if they somehow changed their principles.

    They probably dun want that to happen (numbers of teams restriction from the same country).

    I think Salzburg is doing better in the Europa League.

    The CL qualification is unnecessary pressure, of course it's more prestigious but at the end of the day you have to be happy with a deep run in any Euro contest.

    Dun understand why the media and the ball club itself are mentioning the failures every year again.

    Unwarranted. Every qualification should be a brand new start.

    They are all about representation more than about competitiveness, so qualifying for the CL and playing against European heavyweights would help the corporate strategy. Glad they continue to fail.

    BILD and SportBILD saying the Boateng transfer is off the table, Bayern today rejected a 40mil PSG offer and wants 50.

    Meh, maybe next year when Pavard joins. Probably better for our CL chances this year.

    Just transfer circus, a little while ago, they were saying Bayern was inclined to reduce the price to 40......

    Just do it for 45, make ends meet in the middle.

    Feel like he's setting himself up for failure with these cheap transfers, ppl and PSG front office can blame a poor season on his transfer strategy.
    Breh gotta deliver now.
