Jesus how did I forget that!

Fair, didn't remember either of these. We're all agreed then - UEFA try their hardest to get Barca and Madrid to win the CL for the sake of the football global product. EDIT: wait barca didn't play Juventus in 2015

I would say their '15 win was fair and square. 09 and 11 they shouldn't have been in the final and needed ridiculous refereeing to get them there. 06 I don't remember perfectly but I don't recall any bad refereeing getting them there.

Its the two of them. Go down the list of every single CL controversy in the last 15 years and it'll always involve Barca and Madrid, and it'll always be in their favor.

This all started with Neville kickstarting the "sage pundit" shit. None of them have been all that successful in football so I don't think they influence actual managers, though Neville has definitely influenced United's executive decision making at times, but I think mostly they are ignored...

It'll probably be forgotten in the aftermath of the choke narrative but Bayern would've cruised through if they could have scored on that simple counter they had at 1-0.

Mbappe, Kane, Vini are having such supeiror seasons that he should be a distant 4th at best.

I'd give him all the slack that being 20 deserves if the Madrid and Brit affiliated media wasn't trying to push him as some actually deserving contender for the Ballon D'or, which he just isn't yet, but probably will be in time.

Yeah that's fair. He's got a lot of ability. But any discussion of him even being in the top 3 of Ballon D'or is absolutely ridiculous. Vini is a far far better player than him right now, and he's young, that's fine, but he shouldn't be anywhere near it let alone favorite in the betting now.

Got to agree. Fair play for getting winners against a Barca team who are in the gutter but otherwise I've seen absolutely nothing special from this lad.

I'd be all for it over Southgate.

I too am praying that the very concrete links to Southgate are just a smokescreen for the so far weak links to Tuchel. We live in hope!

Goretzka, Upamecano and Kim all benched. The question is, which one will we spend an exorbitant sum on in the summer?

Moyes could have done a lot worse than taking him and Baines with him.

Didn't the reported best DOF in football try to nurture Gary Neville to become the England boss before he crashed and burned, then elevated Southgate to his current role?
