... which is why you almost have to talk about CL history before/after 1997-98, when multiple teams from the same country were allowed entry.

Barcelona can sign Erling Haaland, says presidential candidate Norwegian superstar has contract until 2034 at Manchester City but Victor Font believes that meteoric transfer can happen if he is elected

Second Barça election in a row where Haaland is being used as bait. Even if they're even more unlikely to get him now than five years ago.

Anyone aware of a more sensational period of form from a tiny team in the Champions League/European Cup?

Genuinely asking. I can't remember any.

Bodø/Glimt leading Sporting 2–0 at HT, pretty much as expected from a team who just beat City, Atlético and Inter (twice).

Not firing Tudor after this display would be almost as bad a call as it was to hire him.

The two Liverpool-Wolves games — same teams, same locations, three days apart — were a nice little experiment to show just how volatile soccer is from a game to game basis, even when nothing fundamental changes at all.

Igor Tudor calls Tottenham rescue job biggest ‘problem’ of his career Igor Tudor, Spurs’ interim manager, said: ‘I’m not coming here to scream at players,’ and added he rates the pressure he is under as seven out of 10

Another fine piece of charismatic leadership.

I wouldn't even worry about the low output at this point. We know what Arsenal can and can't do, and in a brutally physical season where hardly anyone seems to play well, it may well be enough.

Shots: 7
xG: 0.43
Possession: 40%

Gotta respect Arteta for replying to the 'boring football' criticism with one of the ugliest wins of the season.

Can't recall a more uninspiring managerial entrance than that of Igor Tudor.

Basically getting paid to tell everyone how bad the players are and how hard his job is. Demoralising just to read the quotes.

Bodø/Glimt can obviously (.... !) beat City and Sporting, but this pretty solid from the latter.

Barely dropping points in the league, too.

Champions League non-penalty xG for group stage this season and last by country showing England well ahead in both seasons, big drop offs season to season for Germany and Spain, improvement into 2nd for Italy and France broadly the same year to year. Just raw numbers, no adjustment for schedule

Thore Haugstad-kommentar: Bodø/Glimts avansement i Mesterligaen er ikke et mirakel Bodø/Glimts avansement i Mesterligaen er ikke et mirakel.

Én kamp kan være et mirakel.

Når det skjer tre ganger på rad, blir det noe mer.

Thore Haugstad-analyse: Hvor bekymret bør Norge være? Januar har vært en grusom måned for Norges VM-sjanser.

Analyse av Norges skumle januar.

Mest bekymret for slitasje/skade på Haaland. Håper på overganger for JSL og Wolfe.

Mye som helst skal skje før vinduet stenger.

So many issues at City, been feeling Arsenal have been the best team by far, and yet ..... just 4 points down.

Great goal Estevão. Seen so many players get caught in those situations, but kept up his pace really well.
