BBC full of it this morning. It’s like putting Arsenal in the Papa John’s Trophy. :lol:

If a Premier League team wins this fucking school fete, they shouldn't be given a trophy or a cheque for 50 quid or whatever it is. They should be banned from Europe for a season for brining the whole game into disrepute. If a Premier League team is in it and doesn't win it, they should be made to play in the League of Wales for two years.
As I say. If the Premier League is that strong it gets a 5th Champions League Team, it should lose any access to the Conference League.
Absolutely. There should be a maximum number of teams that a member association can have in European competitions. Five in the Champions League and that includes a team that wins it but doesn't finish in the top four, two in the Europa LDV Vans League and one in the Europa Amateur 2nd XI League. If you get an extra team in any of them, you lose a place in the next competition down.
The whole point of the new Champions League is to get as many top teams in it as possible.
UEFA will be delighted that 6 PL teams will be it next season.

Likely to be the way for the foreseeable future - or until it is expanded yet further

Should be us in this Final. If we had taken our chances and didn’t have Partey dropping brain farts.

Inter peaked in the semi. They’re fucked now.

PSG Barca would have been the better game

Complete no show by inter. Seen it happen so many times in sport whether an individual or a team that does something outrageous in a semi final playing out of their skin then goes on to absolutely flop in the final.

2-0 PSG half time. I expected Inter to make life difficult for them and hit them quickly on the break, but PSG absolutely dominant. Their press is suffocating and their strength and desire to win every ball has been incredible.

I was hoping Inter would win this, but gonna take a miracle for that to happen. More likely 4-0 PSG.

Inter about to be beaten by a nation state in the final for the second time in 3 years. Grim.

PSG a very good team. The other three semi finalists probably much of a muchness.

The Barcelona players must be sitting at home wondering how the fuck they lost to this lot.

Inter seem rather shite but fair dos PSG are a great side. Arteta out of his mind suggesting we were better than them. They had another gear in them easy against us. Can’t see us winning this competition any time soon with this lot around and Barcelona will only get better too.

Without Partey in Paris there was certainly a route past them.
