At least he’s playing a striker this time

If the final is gonna be played with no fans then I could see just keeping the game local in the UK. Wembley makes sense but idk if the Brits would want to do a swap deal for their 2024 spot assuming fans would be back by then.

Wembley is booked for the Play off finals that weekend

Maybe at present but for some context .. back in the day of league and european cup winners only in the European Cup between 77 and 82 English teams won the competition 6 times in a row.

Between 77 and 85 English teams were in all but 1 final.

England used to be good at club football, what happened?

About 2 decades of hooliganism in Europe + Killing 39 Juve fans and got banned for 5 years and Liverpool 6 years

If this result from the Ó Classico holds then Sporting CP pretty much has the title in the bag.

Now the question is if they can see out the remaining 3 games without losing and finish the season undefeated.

The have the Lisbon derby away as their next game so it’ll be tough and Benfica is still playing for the 2nd automatic UCL qualification spot.

Sounding like a real bish.

He sees the light before the dies. Did the same against Chelsea in December.

Which took us right to Man U dominating the league for 15 years.

BT got it 4231 as Saka playing LB. Freddie saying Bellerin might play the Kyle Walker role being tucked in as the 3rd CB at times and Saka playing a high LB/LWB/LM/LW.

Rather it be the 433.

*edit*

Action Man Hair said Saka playing in the front line

A Van de Beek sighting


Ridiculous for all those other players to start when it's already in the bag and yoi have a congested fixture list

Ole abuses whatever he finds working

Xhaka done himself a mischief in the warm up and Tierney in at LB.
