At the moment the teams that look really good in the champs league are
PSG
inter
Closely followed by Arsenal and Villa.
If Inter press teams like they did v City in the final it could be there’s.
 
Mention for Jack. As frustrating as he can be you can't help but love the lad ❤️

Just saw a video that summed him up

during the medal presentation for the Super Cup there was a young blind girl there who was cheering and clapping on the podium , all the players ignored until Grealish got there and spoke to her gave her a cuddle

On Monday evening out at my lads for eldest grandsons birthday (he's 23), we got to discussing footie, his fav and ONLY topic. I said I fancy Arsenal to beat RM, to whit he scoffed at my lack of understanding of football. I enjoyed sending him a text at 9.45pm last night.

Real haven’t been great recently,but I just expect them to turn up in the CL.
They didn’t 😬
 
Good though the free kicks were - the first one, they must have set up the wall wrong? Needed one more player to the right of it. You shouldn't be able to bend it around the outside man on the wall and back inside the post. Generally when free kicks are scored they go over the wall.

No qualms with the second one though, that was an absolute rocket - keeper didn't exactly spring very well for his dive, but was never keeping it out anyway.
Rubbish, could have had 2 more on there and it would have still gone it, not seen as big a swerve since Carlos.

Check out payets highlight reel for free kicks. One of the best free kick takers of recent years

He scored 3 free kicks in the premier league in 48 games

For comparison bale scored 3 in 166 games

Think a better stat would be number of free kicks taken & how many scored.

Any idea what Beckhams stats were?

Pretty rubbish by the end. Like most, his record was front loaded.

Very few consistently keep scoring them and even few know when to pass the role into the next person. Ronaldo and Carlos were the worst examples of this.

Wasn’t Juninho supposed to be the 🐐 when it came to fee kicks?

When you think about it you really shouldn’t be scoring a free kick.
You’ve got a wall to beat & a keeper.
Takes a bit of magic,like last night.
