Champions League | Matchday 6

Darmian looks like a slightly over the hill rock star playing in a charity match
 
I’m going to tell my kids I saw Paulinho score in the CL
 
Matheus Nunes is the only player grabbing the game by the balls for Sporting
 
Neymar has elevated diving into an artistic performance of the highest level. Ballet meets athleticism.
 
Leipzig are so crap that even Grealish has resorted to staying on his feet

And the coach, who probably is the biggest loss. Nagelsmann evolved Leipzig from a "pure-RB" counter-attacking high-speed style to a more mature, possession-based team. They had a very good balance with that, but Marsch is leading them to their own past, and that works not at all.

Losing your manager as well. Is Rose trying to implement a different style or losing those players has hit them particularly badly?

Rose is at Dortmund. New Leipzig Coach is the American Jesse March.

What was he like at Salzburg? Heard a lot about him
 
Weird thing about City is that hey appeared to have a larger fanbase when they were crap.

City and Pool reminding everyone that Prem sides are actually the dominant force in Europe right now. By a mile.

Or at least the ones with top managers are.

Difference between having Champions League winning managers and having a Tippeligaen winning manager.

Doing what any run off the mill coach there did over the last decade - play the style Rangnick ordered them to play and win the league because that's just what money buys them. Some coaches from that squad went on to become good, but Salzburg is just not where you can prove yourself as a coach.
 
It just seems so easy for Ajax. Soon as they up the tempo a little, Sporting look all over the place.
