Anyone watching the Spanish Supercopa final on ESPN right now instead of that disastrous AFC Divisional game?

Inaki Williams with an absolute rocket from just inside the box to put Athletic Bilbao up 3-2 in extra time over Barca.

Wild stuff.

 

yeah he’s definitely a target and I’ve read that Son has recruited him. But I think it’d be too hard to do this month. Especially with the covid restrictions.

 

What a cracking goal that was

 

You love to see it.

And Messi getting sent off at 120', what the hell? Talk about some frustrations getting the best of him.

 

Please please say that there's an Amazon series about Barcelona this year.

 

There's no high standard of knowledge you need to participate in this thread. That's why we still let @Nick comment and he doesn't even realise that Solskjaer is the best coach since Rinus Michels.

 

Agreed to what @JM95 said! I've only become a soccer fan in the last 5 years really (aside from casually watching the World Cup every 4 years), and Prem league for about 4 years now, so I get feeling "less knowledgeable" than many.

But I've learned a lot, and talking about it with other fans quickly increases your knowledge of the beautiful game!

 

Barcelona are so bad (compared to their normal standards) this year, but I can’t help but feel like their team might be hugely different next year.

Wijnaldum coming into midfield will be huge for them I think. Depay is rumoured to be going too right?

 

Correct - Depay is likely to stay at Lyon until summer, but he is still rumored to be signed by Barca then.

And ugh don't remind me about likely losing Gini... he's easily one of Pool's most underrated players.

 

Juventus got completely outplayed in the Derbi D’Italia tonight, losing 2-0 to Inter. Both Milan teams are now joint top, whilst Juve slip to fifth.

Really interesting league this year, both Milan clubs are pulling ahead but Napoli, Roma, Juventus, Atalanta Lazio and Sassoulo are separated by just four points.

 

Eric Garcia from City too. Effectively a whole new spine.

 

Goodbye my bug eyed king

 

Messi got a relatively soft red meanwhile THIS got nothing...

That being said, Barcelona has got to remember how to finish a damn game. No business losing that when you’re up 2-1 in the 90’

 

That hurt just watching it

 

Inter Milan are going to officially change their name to Inter Milano. They will be getting a new crest, too.

 

Love seeing teams rebrand, such a crapshoot. City’s was cool but Juventus’ new badge is one of the worst.

 

Honestly, I think Juve’s is cool but City’s is boring. For the most part I don’t like round crests.

Atletico’s one is the weirdest for me. Because the new crest is a million times better than the old one with the MS paint apple tree. But I still prefer the old one.

 

Remember when Leeds' rebrand was laughed out of the city?

This would have been absolutely terrible (and hilarious) if it stuck.

 

I wish that happened.

 

Strong Columbus Crew vibes from this

 

I for one am excited for Arsenal social media to become a lot less toxic now Ozil has gone.

 

Oh boy do I have something to tell you about social media in general...

 

Ibra has now scored a professional goal in each of the past 23 years.

 

Newcastle are so half arsed currently. Showing all the signs of tumbling down into the relegation scrap.

 

So I somehow did a thing on FM



Last game of the season, 1 point behind. Leicester beat Man Utd and I trash Burnley 4-0. Somehow won the league?!
