PSG vs Barcelona today. Both teams have 6 points after two matches and neither side looks ready to back down.

Who are you picking to win? psg or Barca?

🚨 According to the Daily Mail, Manchester city could face a massive points deduction if found guilty of the vast majority of the 115 charges against them.

The reported punishment could be severe enough to guarantee relegation to the Championship, with an additional deduction next season potentially keeping them there for at least two seasons.

Relegation to League Two, however, is considered unlikely.

Imagine City actually getting relegated to the Championship. 💀

A lot of opinions about this 😭.

Which city is most iconic for the UCL (and European Cup too). Istanbul or Paris are probably it for me

2016/17-2017/18 Cristiano is not peak Ronaldo imo, he had bad starts to both seasons and had already started to lose his chance-creation abilities, his ability to defeat defenders and his dribbling. He mainly became a finisher. It is often considered his best season due to clutch moments, but if you remember, 2017/18 Real Madrid played pretty badly until the final stages of the UCL and finished 17 points behind Barcelona. Many of the problems that Ronaldo has been suffering from since 2022 started in 2017/18.

As a complete, 90-minute footballer capable of dictating matches, dribbling past low blocks, creating for others, and maintaining relentless league dominance, the 2011–2014 version of Cristiano Ronaldo was superior in every physical and statistical category. IMO, Cristiano Ronaldo's peak is either 2011/12 or 2014. 2011/12 CR7 was basically a lab-created player who had ridiculous stats and won the League against peak Barca and Messi, and it is not considered his peak because Messi reached godhood levels that season. He also would have won the UCL if not for the penalties against Bayern. 2014 Ronaldo also had an insane season and was casually banging hat-tricks every game.

They have a pathetic inferiority complex toward PSG, mixed with hatred. While within PSG, it's rightly a UCL match like any other of group stage.

Who are the top 20 inform right wingers this season

Why are we having to pay for different subscriptions to watch games? I have TNT but I refuse to pay for Amazon prime on top. I hardly shop with Amazon and just to get prime for a couple of games for my team in the champions league is ridiculous and not worth the layout of money. When will leagues and football associations stop this and make it accessible for ALL to watch.

It’s not a couple of games - every game he doesn’t produce a goal contribution, he’s absolutely sh*tting all over the field.

Bruno’s entire game revolves around Hollywood balls and praying somebody makes something out of it. He wouldn’t need to create 100 chances per game if he was actually trying to keep the midfield together.

Carrick, who was a great midfielder himself, has realised he doesn’t have the IQ to play in midfield, that’s why he’s been deployed as a false 9 and winger recently.

Defends like a CB, passes and playmakes like a midfielder, and still scores 70 goals. 💀 His passes even helped create Luis Díaz's goals in Bayern's last Bundesliga and UCL matches. What can't this guy do?

What's your take ?

An attacking spectacle. Expecting both teams to go all out next week. Can't wait for this game.

From the looks of what I see in the news, there is no way safety is guaranteed for any of the teams.

I was wondering how ppl call barca ucl contenders but their defense is extremely lacking

With best lb and lcb being a 32 year old cancelo amd injury prone Christensen

Is it possible for them to win?

I am not talking abt how barca themselves won a final in 2009 with literally only 4 players fully fit and not in a makeshift position

I am talking abt throughout the ucl

prove me wrong

All 9 teams from the toughest and highest level football league in the world won their opening European game of the season following Brighton’s 4-0 crushing of FK Kauno Zalgiris. Could you see this coming?

The premier league clubs have an average of 2.47 points per game, while the Bundesliga is the second closest of the top 5 leagues with 1.92, the Premier League clubs have also collected a total of 42 points so far in European competitions this season. No other league have totaled even 30 points.

Obviously, the game is on the 20th of October, and I’m curious to hear what fans of both teams think about this match.

Are PSG going to dominate the game the same way they did against City, or are they going to get humiliated by Barça?
Will it be a tough match for both teams, where a single goal separates them and decides the outcome? Or are we in for something completely different?

Will Raphinha once again prove to the world why he’s a top, top player, or will Dembélé score against Barça and celebrate once again?
Will Flick get the better of Enrique, or is Enrique going to teach Flick another lesson?

Lots of questions, and I’d love to hear the thoughts of fans from both sides!

sorry for bad grammar* In CL week 2, all four Italian teams lost which is the first time in history that this happened. To be fair, Roma shoulda beat RM but it is RM, what can I say?

While La Liga has its won disparity problems, five laliga teams won all their respective games. The Prem is head and shoulders above the rest because of money and investments but Serie A can at least catch up to historically inferior leagues like La Liga and Ligue 1.

These are five things that I would do:

(1) For more TV money and less fatigue, Serie A should reduce its teams to 18 teams just like Bundesliga and Ligue 1.

(2) Improving production quality - PL, La Liga, Bundesliga. All three leagues production quality is miles better than Serie A right now. Serie A makes the league games unpleasing to watch because of video quality.

(3) Stadiums renovation - This is the weakest sector in Italian football. Most stadiums are run-down and owned by municipalities so revenue growth is slow. Infrastructural and policy changes need to happen.

(4) Developing and putting their faith in youth local talent - Instead of buying Prem rejects who aren't good enough for Prem, they should just play young Italian youth talents. Money should be used properly to buy unknown talents from lower leagues instead of just buying veterans from other leagues on high wages just for the name. (I doubt Lamine Yamal or Pablo Barrios would become first team players if they were born in Italy)

(5) Stop the cycle of managers merry-go-round - Coaches get recycled for fun every season and it gets tiring. Just be like Como, More Fabregas-es, Less Allegri
