would qualify for the Champions League.
Almost half of 2022-23 was spent in the relegation places, they have one of the smallest budgets in Ligue 1 and 8th was their previous Ligue 1 record.
So, how did they do it?
Documentary:
Lukaku needed for Inter as they have little presence up front (though I love what I am seeing as far as their patience/forcing errors out of Ederson, etc.).
Grealish is a bit pedestrian. Push Foden wide and put Alvarez through the middle for me.
Benfica and Man City must apologize to River Plate.
Taking Alvarez and Fernandez from them for around €40m COMBINED after all fees is absolute robbery.
Weird transfer window. I feel like free-spending has caused some brain rot and entitlement in certain fans.
Rui Costa isn't obliged to accept any bids. We have SPORTING targets we want to hit, not FINANCIAL ones.🤷♂️
Trigger the release clause or move on. That's on you, not him.
Didn't show for training, didn't go on the tour, actively begged every UCL club to sign him, leaves at half time... and United supporters are supposed to just ignore all that?
Ronaldo is not a victim because he is Ronaldo. ANYONE would deservedly get that heat from supporters.🤷♂️
People who try to sell this kind of behaviour as "just football" or "passion" are just making excuses for unhinged thugs to intimidate Taylor's teenage daughter, throw bottles at his wife and spit at his family.
Losers, all of them.
Embarassing Roma fans abusing Anthony Taylor who is with family on his way at the airport.
Disgusting. You can see his daughter in tears and drinks being thrown at his wife too.

🚨🚨Quick announcement regarding the channel guys!🚨🚨
Apologies to those who are disappointed. But, hopefully you'll enjoy the other content this will allow me to produce!💛
Genuine question:
Why do people look at Portugal's run in 2016 with disgust for how they played and won (much worse squad then), but they celebrate Croatia's boring play and their extra time habit as brilliant team performances?🤔
Thoughts? I find it interesting.
Porto is lucky they aren't down to 8 now. Pepe with a potential leg-breaking challenge. Didn't even argue the yellow, showed concern for his victim immediately.
Attenzione

My first mini documentary is coming out tomorrow, surrounding the unbelievable story of Stade Brestois 29's Champions League qualification.
It's an achievement that never should have happened in modern football, so how did they pull it off?
See you tomorrow.
Just imagine if fans were allowed in stadiums right now. The banners, the boos, the chants, the demonstrations outside of grounds...
Really was the best (read: most cowardly) time for the Super League to announce that they exist.
HUGE congrats to Morocco. Defense wins championships, and they haven't conceded a single goal (besides scoring on themselves).
They didn't even concede in the shootout against Spain.😳
A big thank you to everyone who joined me for that live watch along. Absolutely smashed the channel record. Average of 14,000 and peaked at 35,000.
Numbers I didn't even think possible for an independent creator like myself, so I hope you guys enjoyed the show!
Video out soon.
Chelsea are 9 points above the relegation zone with 5 matches to go after this one.
They haven't won a game since March 11th.
Big matches against Bournemouth (A) and Forest (H) to come.
Their final three EPL matches: City (A), United (A) & Newcastle (H).
... imagine?😳
Demiral and Lovato for Atalanta for around 40 million while selling Romero for over 50 is the exact reason why they’ll be in the hunt again. If that gets done that will be unreal
I hate how a lot UCL coverage of Portuguese sides doing well is always "well, big team bad rn, that's why."
Porto and Benfica deserve credit.
That said, I have absolutely NO IDEA what Atleti want to be under Simeone these days.
Please Ronaldo stop taking free-kicks you simply are not good at them anymore you cannot argue otherwise your success rate is so so so so so low PLEASE STOP, especially when there are so many capable players on Portugal's squad we're on our knees i've stopped using punctuation.🙏
What has happened to Donnarumma? He was laying on the floor, waving goodbye to the ball before it even reached him.
From watching it back, there's no sign of a slip... just bizarre keeping.
People just need to accept: Ronaldo is not the man he used to be. Slower, touch is worse, and he dwells on the ball too long.
Can he still be effective when an entire system is tailored to him at the expense of his teammates? Maybe, but even that isn't a guarantee at this age.
Benfica make it 20 matches unbeaten across all competitions with a 5 - 0 win over Chaves.
One of three undefeated teams in Europe's top leagues, alongside PSG & Napoli.
3 Draws (two vs PSG)
17 Wins
Schmidt is truth.
Waited until the end of the season to put my own silverware on the wall.▶️🏆
Thank you to everyone for what was a great season! I do not take your support for granted, and I'm already excited to produce more content for you to enjoy.😘
I actually heard from very, very credible sources of my own (no further questions please), that they are considering creating a league in Antarctica where they will compete against research teams from around the world.
🚨 Faced with possible sanctions from UEFA and La Liga, Joan Laporta is studying the possibility of Barcelona playing in another league. 😳
The Asian leagues are being considered.

Glad Rui Costa cleared everything up. Transparency is always appreciated, and I am completely satisfied with what he has said.
We are friends again.🧑🤝🧑
- como adepto não queria mais este jogador no meu clube. este jogador não poderia entrar mais no balneário.
- "estar comprometido com o projecto não é bater no peito quando lhe interessa"
- "meti a cabeça por ele ao pagar 18M por ele só podendo vir 6 meses depois"
Not all Chelsea supporters are like this of course, just the ones who are getting annoyed and insulting Rui Costa because he is denying them of a new toy.
He's putting HIS club first in the January window, he doesn't care about yours or the money. As if that's a crime.🥴
A fantastic academy, record profits, a big, international fanbase, a rich history, and yet Benfica is holding itself back from achieving more.
A huge thank you to

Gigio is the iciest player in this tournament by the way. Save a penalty to clinch the entire tournament for your country?
Walk away without a smile. 🥶🥶🥶
BREAKING: Lionel Messi has chosen the MTL Impact as his next club. He's looking forward to linking up with Thierry Henry again.
I am friends with the cousin of his wife's cleaning lady's oldest daughter's boyfriend's aunt's stepfather's oldest son, and he has informed me as such.
After fumbling with Belgium's great crop of talent, now he can do it with Portugal! This is a very Portuguese appointment unfortunately.
Oh yeah videos return on Monday btw.
🚨 EXCL: Roberto Martinez has reached verbal agreement to become Portugal coach. Appointment as Fernando Santos successor likely to be finalised towards end of next week. 49yo Spaniard has had club + int’l interest since leaving Belgium role
@TheAthleticFC
I get that the players requested to play, but I personally feel like UEFA should make the big decision to delay it until another time. Who knows what's going through the heads of the players, if they simply don't want to be "that guy" who says no to playing. Just my opinion.
🚨🚨| Some Chelsea players are frustrated and are privately instructing their agents to seek moves away from the club.
In some cases this is easier said than done, due to the 8 year deals in some cases being signed.

🚨⛔️ Cristiano Ronaldo: "I won't return to European football, the door is completely closed".
"I'm 38 years old, also European football has lost lot of quality... only valid one is Premier League, they're way ahead of all the other leagues".
Enzo Fernández has played more passes than any other player in Europe's top seven divisions this season.
Real Madrid, we've found a Toni Kroos replacement. 🎯
