There is no possible way that buying these players at these insane costs has a positive ROI. Like is Ronaldo really generating over $200 million in interest in Saudi football? I can name a total of zero club teams from memory and the only thing I know of Saudi football is that they are a bye at the WC (except, of course, for mighty Argentina).

Honestly man? I dont really know, but both Ronaldo and Messi have fallen afoul of Spanish Tax Courts. I wonder if they know people or are being used to funnel cash out of the middle East.

Feels like Man City would be pretty happy to get out of this game at 1-0. Can't see them coming back from a bigger deficit than that.

Couple of just beautifully pure strikes on both goals.

All to play for in the 2nd leg.
Hoping City have to rest players in their league matches bookending this fixture.

KBD's strike was such a gorgeous low struck ball.
Modric is still incredible.

Not Modric's best match of the knockout stages - but he did start off the goal sequence with a cheeky flick of the outside of the boot.
Vinicius is a special player. Back in the WC, the Croatia manager said he designed his whole game plan around Vinicius. He's so damn good.

Hope Inter keeps the sponsor off the jersey (sponsor hasn't paid them, so they took it off a couple weeks ago) for the CL final...at worst, put Pirelli back on there like olden days. Kit looks proper and it's one of the few in the world because of the stripes (Celtic, AC Milan, Barca, Juventus) that needs no sponsor.

Helps when Tite subbed him off like an absolute idiot before the 70th minute. But ya, the key is to mark him with 2-3 guys like Croatia did. Walker played him well though, Vinicius has been drifting more and more into the middle of the pitch this season which has elevated his game. Last few years he spent most of the games on the flank. Should be a fantastic second leg.
