Billions of euros, 115+ ffp breaches. They bought this title and treble. It’s not naive to say that. Salty maybe but it’s true. Let’s hope they get stripped of them all but I won’t hold my breath.

I'm not going to disagree with that in fairness, it was more the idea of the romance having been affected. Of all the clubs to have serious question marks over whether they cheated to win the European Cup these guys probably wouldn't make the top ten.

lol, FFP is a ****ing disgrace and should be ignored. Solely bought in to make sure this kind of thing wouldn't happen and the same teams win it every year.
You talk about the romance of football, but want a cartel where only the big teams win.
 
Naive comment at best. Real Madrid have won it far more than anyone else.

That's the club whose council bought their training ground from them for more than it was worth so they could buy more players.

Absolutely ... success in football generally cones down to who has the deepest pockets ... to think that only happened since Chelsea and Citeh got bankrolled is, quite frankly, bollox ...
 
Back to the game ... seen some great saves in Cup Finals ... Jim Montgomery for Sunderland against Leeds springs to mind ... but never seen a keeper do what Ederson did tonight ... just awesome ...

Did you not watch our last CL final? We'd have had a better chance if they have bricked up the goal..
 
Congratulations City and Pep <applause>, what will Pep do now? Take an International job or take the Newcastle job if it was available...
