The arab sheiks should sell PSG immediately and save face, or what it's left of it. After tonight this team will be a laughing stock for ethernity. And not only because of the result, but because of the amateurish play and braindead appearance.

Look on the bright side, today we learned that to win a Champions is not enough have sheikhs and millions.

You wanna say Barca doesn't gain millions from Qatar airways? :lol:I also don't like PSG, but let's be fair.

But at last Barca have a great territorial history :p PSG is only an investiment..

 

That's of course true, Barca is one of the main synonyms if you just say ''football'', but still I don't find them as any less modern/capitalistic football team than any other nowadays.

Sure, because God's teams Barca, Real, Bayern, MU/Chelsea don't use millions every window. The real CL died 10 years ago or so, when teams like Porto, Deportivo, Leeds had a chace to reach the final without vulturing all the big players. And i don't want to go back to the 90s.

 

Present CL is the same teams at same stage, every single year. And they love it. Uefa loves it,  they enforce it many times blatanly. People from China to the US love it, because they can watch the 5 teams they know and gloryhunt all the time.. Juve, Monaco, Sevilla/Leicester are left to prevent the monopoly..

I sound like a broken record saying this every year, but here we are: 7th consecutive year Real, Barcelona and Bayern all make the QF, will they mysteriously avoid playing each other on this instance for the 7TH CONSECUTIVE TIME? :lol:

    • For sure better for  one silver - I think it was Shelly Rudman, Skeleton.  Can definitely improve on that.   Still remember it as a good games, though - think it was the first time I took two weeks off work to watch a Winter Games.

    • As a Montreal Canadien fan, I am in agreement. However, he is struggling recently and is demoted to the 4th line this week. Hoping he can turn it around. 
    • I read now that Valentina Rodini will be in the new team of Tizzano + Galtarossa and Martini. I was probably in such an information bubble on Instagram that I thought that only Abbagnale was running a campaign and had a team of people around him. That's why I was surprised by his defeat + the fact that, for example, Rodini supports his rival. But as I wrote, for me the change in the general coach position is a plus. We need a new opening and a new impulse: Cattaneo had his best results in Tokyo and then he only explained that his rowers were running away abroad to the USA to study and that's why he had worse results. Ok, except that it's the same in Romania and Greece but they results are comparable or better. It's obvious that no one here will make the UK or the Netherlands, because we don't have such resources and money but I think we can repeat the Romanian results (2 gold - 3 silver in Paris) and that will be a much better result than the 2 silver in this year.
    • Abbagnale boasted that he had 80 per cent a few days before the vote (I still have the screen) and ran again as a result of a power deal. Not a great loss.   I have doubts about the new technical director though, you can't announce him during the congress, brandishing the scalp of the Abbagnale era technical staff (who then, were Crispi's men). Let's hope there are no rifts between the new staff and the athletes, it had to be handled better.
    • I was surprised by Abbagnale's defeat. I thought he was a sure of victory, since he decided to run - I read some source that he didn't know if he would start before Paris 2024. What do you think about it?
