Of course they deny it, but there's way too much smoke to this. Neymar is obsessed with winning individual titles (a big reason for leaving Barcelona obviously) and there's no way that PSG didn't guarantee him unconditional support in achieving that. Cavani will 100 percent be sold next summer. How dare he do his job and take the Brazilian prince's toys?

I would pay to see Neymar and Lewandowski on the same team. Yeah, they'd score a ####load of goals, but the entertainment value of two guys who put individual stats over team success and fight with each other over goals, penalties, free kicks etc. would be enormous.

Yup. Pretty much.

I just have to give credit to PSG, they are being really innovative in how to make Neymar the most entitled player on the planet.

Speaking of which, thats the game I'm looking forward to the most. PSG vs Bayern. Thats going to be good.

yeah, will be interesting. First real test for PSG and their new strikers. Bayern struggling a bit, a win over PSG would do wonders for them.

I don't know what kind of goat pasture this is in Cyprus, but it has disaster for Spurs written all over it.

You'd think that once you're in the CL the days of playing on pitches that look like they've just been recently shelled by the Red Army would be over, but alas that is not the case.

Who does Klopp think is better in net and why doesn't he play one all the time

We can all agree neither are great, but is he prioritizing the league or the cl with this Mignolet and karius split?

Harry Kane and Bale playing together in Madrid is going to be incredible to watch for everyone but Spurs fans.

You say that now, but you just wait until their next Spanish Welfare cheque clears, then it'll be a whole different story!

Nobody can say that Liverpool are anything but charitable after handing Sevilla the group.

based on how they have played so far its really lucky for them they got spartak from the 1st pot because with any of the other squads they would be in trouble

because of how it is they are going to go through, they should pump a bunch in the next 2 vs Maribor and then as long as they dont lose to spartak at home they go through

but plenty to fix before the KO stages

including finding their best 11, I think as much of a CB they need a DM

same problem that Man United had last year in that area, the one difference is that Mourinho just battened down the hatches to defend defend defend without a DM, whereas Klopp goes attack attack attack

too bad for them Keita couldnt come over this year, hes not a DM but hes all action box to box

Our goalkeeping is just beyond brutal. That free kick practically hits the center of the goal and Karius gets nowhere near it. No wonder Mignolet continues to be first choice.

We easily should have finished that game off though. We continue to dominate games and still drop points.

I don't have a good feeling about the match today. Bayern has looked way too disjointed so far this season and I expect that to continue today

perfect start for United in Russia though. Lukaku is a beast, and now with the Martial penalty this is pretty much game over 20 minutes in.

Mbappe is going to somehow be a discount at £170 million. Staggeringly good for his age.

second time this season that United concede in injury time to spoil a 4-0 win.

the fact that this pisses me off shows how far United have come under Mourinho this year.
