I would take Chukwueze over Osimhen

 

[vtotheinay]

vtotheinay how are Bayern fans taking to next season's home kit?

it seems like one of those people either hate it or love it. no in between at all I'd say about a 50/50 split from what I've seen

 

[Coupé It]

The Real Madrid vs Barcelona rivalry might be BACK….

This is what I LIKE to see!!

 

[Coupé It]

Saying Franco supported Barcelona is ridiculous man.

Some of the NASTIEST propaganda work I’ve ever seen from Madrid media.

 

[MetalMario]

That's how they got their name, Real. hell, all of the Reals in Spain

anyways in other rivalry news; USA play Mexico next week and if the crowd chants the P word they're gonna ban Mexico from playing in USA for 2 years

Incorrect.

Also this whole ordeal prompted me to look more into the “relationship” with RM and Franco just to find that most of the stuff typically said is not true.

There’s a quote along the lines of it’s likely that Franco benefitted more from “supporting” RM than the other way around. And that RM didn’t become successful because of his support, but instead that he supported them because they were successful as a flex.

Realistically nobody in this thread will read Sid Lowe’s book Fear and Loathing that outlines how much of the usual talking points are heresay.

ZZ

Ronaldinho is clear. Zidane had a lot of games where he looked like a passenger. People conveniently forget because of the 2006 world cup.

 

[Coupé It]

Still can’t believe RM tweeted that.

Insane,

I need Napoli to do win so my Raspadori card can get that upgrade. But Milan was the better club the last 2 matches they played each other though

I don’t know **** about Franco/Francoism or Spanish history in the last 100 years. Gotta read up on it


Also threw some $$$ on Madrid today. At + odds against this Chelsea team, it could be a trap but I feel like I’d be stupid to not risk it

[tomdiginson]

It's not defamation. It's historically recorded.

As they should.

That video is despicable.

Flo is losing it.

 

[swerve]

Wtf is this dawg…

 

[El Argentino]

They really dropped the equivalent of a diss track/promo on main

They need to get Benzema’s videographer to put a piece together to smear Barca

Smh Francolona first projecting with paying refs and now this

I am here for all of it

Lampard playing a 3-7-0 formation. Makes sense.

In the pantheon of utterly dreadful English managers, Frank Lampard is the absolute worst.

Silver lining, we're crashing outta Europe for 18 months with the loudest bang possible.
