That third goal by Shakhtar was a beaut.

Bruma will be a rich man's version of prime Nani one day. The rest of the transfers meh, yeah.

I also believe that, but it may happen in a different club.(re: Ribery)

Amrabat was bought for 8 million Euros, Eboue for 4.5, Chedjou for 6.5. Dany came cheap but he's a ticking time bomb who has cost Gala over and over again. Riera is being paid 2.9 million per year to play left back. He's their best option yet he won't play often because if he plays 25 games this season his contract will automatically extend for another year.

Just watched the replay. Ramos pulled his arm but that was a straight dive from Bulut on that play. He even winked after. Disappointed that our younger players couldn't do enough to win this match but it's always nice to get 3 points with 10 men, especially in a 4-1. Xabi Alonso just makes this team work.

It was a clear red even if he did dive. If Ramos doesn't hold Bulut has a 1 vs 1 situation against Casillas.

Not arguing the red card but if Arbeloa got booked for simulation in the opposing penalty box when his heel got clipped out from under him then Bulut should have gotten booked for falling forward when his hand was lightly being pulled backward.

Isco's goal was a real beauty today. Great performance from the Spartan as well.

I have got no idea why, but as soon as Leverkusen plays a club that has got a big name they are just awful. Are they scared? Also happened a few years ago against Barcelona. At least they didn't try to get autographs from opposing players at half time this time.

Probably already collected them the last game...

Still hurts to know Olympiakos was 1 minute and stoppage time away from progressing. Then Benfica scored to take the road win and we let a short-handed PSG nab a late winner.

It's okay, all we have to do is beat Anderlecht at home. If we can't do that, we don't deserve to progress.

yeah that result was a bit cruel , I think olympiakos will pull through though on the last match day. apparently mitroglu told ibrah he'll see him at the world cup and then laughed lol. Finally someone trolls ibrah

12 million euros minimum bro. Tottenham offered 11.9 but Gala said no. I read it on Goal.com.

Its like the first regular game of the season and nobody cares about that Cup.

Again, watching that match, it didn't seem like nobody cared. It seemed more like they were each dying to win it.

Arsenal beating Bayern didn't count either apparently. They probably haven't been beaten in years!

Have you seen last years 1-1 draw in Dortmund at the end of the season? Even in a friendly game these two teams would go at each other. Doesnt take away that its meaningless Cup and you cant take the first regular game of the season as a measurement.

I was being facetious. I don't really think Bayern was trying the way they would in a proper competitive match in either the supercup or arsenal second leg. Bayer and BATE are the last two teams to beat Bayern when they were really going for the win.
