Is anyone else tired of the constant bitching and moaning from players about the "tough calendar", especially from the lordy English league + Real Madrid. How about earning some of those hugely overpriced salaries you get.

 

How about getting rid of the useless League Cup, that still for some reason exist on the British isles. How about reducing the leagues to 34 matches. There shouldn't be a top European league with more than 18 teams. I prefer having the ECC in their newer format and a Club World Cup every 4 years (for which not every team is even qualifying), than additional 4 league games, that bring nothing new (plus additional playoffs somewhere). Domestic leagues should start in September and end early May, to fit a longer break, if the players health is concerned.

Good start for Italian teams in Women CL: Roma 1-0 Wolfsburg and Valerenga 0-1 Juve

 

This is the last season with the old form (next year will have  aleague phase at 18 teams), and it began with a surprise: Manchester City defeated Barca 2-0, with Barca fail to score in groups for 1st time

 

Pernille Harder, on the night she made her 50th European appearance, scored a hat-trick in  Bayern Munich comeback against Arsenal 5-2

Epic own goal for Sparta in the Dutch 1st division (or 2nd, whatever you call it, the one underneath the top flight :p). At 1:00 in the video.

    • Spring Nationals, Day #3   Sara Curtis MVP of day 3 of the Italian Spring Nationals!    after improving her PB in the women's 100m freestyle already in the morning heats, in the afternoon final she destroyed not only her previous limit, but also the 9-year old National Record, previously held by our swimming icon Federica Pellegrini 53.01 is the new record   in the same race, Emma Virginia Menicucci was 2nd in 54.14 (big new PB for her) and Chiara Tarantino was 3rd in 54.28   given that Tarantino has a sub-54 PB and also Sofia Morini (here completely out of shape) is a sub-54 swimmer at her best, now the Italian women's 4*100m free relay begins to look like a good one (sure, USA and AUS are out of reach, but the rest of the world is not so far away anymore   more on Today's Finals:   men's 800m Free: 1.Davide Marchello, 7.53.32   women's 200m IM: 1.Sara Franceschi, 2.10.95; 2.Anita Gastaldi, 2.10.97 (PB), both World qualifying times   men's 200m IM: 1.Alberto Razzetti, 1.58.05 (again definitely below the expectations, something's not good with him this week ); 2.Christian Mantegazza, 1.58.95 (big PB, class of 2005)   men's 100m Free: 1.Manuel Frigo, 48.34; 2.Carlos D'Ambrosio, 48.60 (very disappointed with him...he should have swum 1 second faster); 3.Lorenzo Zazzeri, 48.62; 4.Alessandro Miressi, 48.74  even if we can add Ceccon and maybe Deplano (if he convince himself he can swim fast also the 100m and not only the 50m), the 4*100m relay's perspective is really depressing    women's 1500m Free: 1.Simona Quadarella, 16.03.77   in the club relays (the 4*100m medley relays), among the women, Sara Curtis swam "only" 1.01 in the backstroke leg, Bottazzo had a good 1.05.40 in the breastroke leg, confirming his win over the individual distance wasn't a fluke and Tarantino (53.68) and Menicucci (54.11) confirmed the value of their clockings from the individual race also with the flying start among the men, Bacico swam even better than the individual race winning effort (53.42) in the backstroke leg, Martinenghi edged out Viberti in the breastroke leg (58.70 to 58.99), Burdisso swam a decent 50.8 in the fly leg and finally Manuel Frigo confirmed himself the best 100m free specialist of the moment with an impressive 47.2 stint
