Good to see two actual giants of English football on top.
Considering who we played and where we played them itās been a really good start.
My sense is that that win in Milan is going to look better the deeper we get into the 8 rounds. Milanās one win isnāt anything to mark them out as a power, but they are definitely playing better now than six weeks ago, seemingly headed in the right direction.
And itās helped keep questionās about Arneās European/ Championās League experience at bay too, which is equally helpful.
Did noticed his Feynoord team seemed to probably meet their expectations in Europe the last couple of years so it was one area I didnāt have much doubt on.
Compared to say Rodgers who seemed to have an allergic reaction and still does.
I was just reading this thread.
Is it true that as far as FIFA is concerned a drawn cup final match is a draw, it was just decided on pens?
yep, sounds weird, i had to take a look as well, it doesnĀ“t count as a defeat when you lose on pens.
You learn something new every day.
Feels rather ridiculous.
that was always my understanding.
the match ends in a draw, so no one loses, however, the result is decided by penaltiesā¦
to me, it makes senseā¦its hardly important though to be honest, you either win the pot or you dontā¦stating unbeaten records might be a reason for some pride, it hardly equates to winning the thingā¦
to put it in surreal league terms, no point banging on about an undefeated league season if 35 of the games finished in drawsā¦it would however, give you a platform to work withā¦
There was a team a few years back in the lower leagues who claimed they hadnāt been beaten in the league for a while but didnāt include playoff games 
Surprise, surprise: it was a complete travesty.
Well deserved Rodri, wasnāt even such a difficult choice this year. At least for me.
Okay Madrista.
Just a few months agoā¦!
Uefa has now suspended Morata and Rodri āfor failing to comply with the general principles of conduct, for violating the basic rules of decent conduct, for using sporting events for manifestations of a non-sporting nature and for bringing the sport of football, and Uefa in particular, into disreputeā.
Real Madrid having a meltdown and throwing their toys out of the pram has been hilarious to see, itās hardly a travesty on the level of a Giggs being gifted a POTY award but in all honesty whoās arsed about individual honours of that nature anyway.
Yeah, Realās āentourageā managed to embarrass themselves without even properly attending the thing. What a shit few days for them. Just go back to training with your heads down.
How did Rodri win it then?
