Yup that was the one season it was clearly best league. But it’s never been sustained
the amount of money pumped into league it’s actually shocking how poor records have been in all euro competition

West Ham were awful against us. The 1st half they offered very very little.
yeah 2 years ago Chelsea v Man City in the final of the top cup in Europe, and also 4 years ago Liverpool beat spurs in final. This year City is the favourite to win it
4 finalists that is indeed impressive. But rarely it is a team outside the top 6. When you look at LaLiga you have the likes of villareal, Bilbao and Espanyol having played finals not to mention Alaves. Despite the coefficient I believe LaLiga is the better league. Also this year it is not impossible to have both Real and Sevilla victorious again.
Back in 2007-2009 period there were 3 English teams in CL semis in 3 consecutive seasons, I'd say that was golden period for Premier League in European competitions. But that was obviously long time ago.
Yup. but it’s still just 5 winners this century. And Europa league is only 4….Like I said. The amount of money that’s in the league it’s not very impressive return at all
2019 Chelsea v Arsenal Europa league final and Liverpool v Tottenham Champions league final
As a Dutchman I can't help but look in awe at what AZ is doing.
Roma score!
Hammers get a pen
what if AZ are better than Utd
You're right and no doubt Spanish teams have been the best in European competitions over the years and PL teams should have done better with all the money spent. But it still never made most people switch to watching La Liga instead of PL anyways.
18/19 all PL european finals
20/21 3/4 PL teams in finals, 4 in SF
21/22 CL runner-up, SF, EL SF, Conference had Spurs eliminated by Covid, Leicester out to Roma in QF, Chelsea out to Madrid in QF in CL
PL has been pretty damn dominant over the last years, ever since clubs pulled their thumbs our of their arses and started making their financial advantages count

Exactly that is what I wanted to say, many of Spanish teams have a much lower budget yet get greater results. It is more important to have less money so you have to do creative transfers and use your football knowledge instead of just spending money. I think the Italians are also much more football savvy than the English.
Correct. If there is one thing EPL is the undisputed champ at. it’s marketing
Di Maria off and on Pogba hmm
Are Fiorentina and Basle any good at defending set plays? If they aren't neither will beat West Ham.
West Ham lead
Not quite ...
Like the good ol' day.
Fair play west ham
id actually be pretty happy for Moyes if he wins the thing
id actually be pretty happy for Moyes if he wins the thing
looking forward to Sevilla win la decima in 2026
Gonna be the first European final Mourinho will ever lose. Sevilla will never lose this competition.
Juve with 4 shots and only 1 on target. At home in European semifinals game that's really poor.
That's a pen.
Mmm. If they get away with it with this performance thanks to a brainfart by a defender i will be really mad
Been watching west ham last 20 minutes. They looked good, deserve the lead based on what I have seen.
Moyes, Telles, Smalling, Matic, Darmian, Mkhi and Lukaku all have one foot in European finals.
Yep, even the az goal was kinda against the run of play and still keeper should have done better
Fiorentina are clearly not
Both teams scored off set pieces in this game
Basel did look pretty dominant in the air though
Seeing Sevilla beating juve and then thinking how dominant united were against Sevilla in the first leg then just threw everything away is frustrating
Sevilla are literally unbeatable in the Europa League
1-1
Juventus score with the last kick of the football!
1-1
1-1
We should get Pogba back.
It was a header
I blame Antony.
This fecking cnuts I swear
This doesn’t mean anything for Sevilla. They will play like lions at home with such a crowd, Juve will get spanked.
Well done juventus
