I hope none of the outrage has to do with PSG havin so much black excellence but I know better 
No no we don't talk about that. That's different.
It is?
The difference between billionaire consortiums and the wealth of nation states is...obvious.
It's not the same. If you're American you'll get this.
The Kroenkies and the Glazers are/were like individual campaign donors. They can give tons of money, but ultimately limited by their own resources and willingness to invest. That willingness changes over time. And there's a hard cap.
The Oil States are like Super PACs. They are able to inject nigh-unlimited funds into a team and eat what ever fine comes from whatever violations because the entire financial apparatus of the nation states funds the team. Plus, the legal defenses of the entire judicial system of a country.
It's literally not even a question. No it will not be more competitive. There will be the oil teams and the non oil teams. It's already happening now.

Stop it. Arsenal has needed a striker for at least the last two seasons. It's not an example of them not being able to "afford" to go get one, they have decided to double down on their mistakes and they think they "know better" than everyone else. That's one example. Real Madrid and Barcelona's resources are unlimited. Liverpool won the EPL this season and still went out and retooled with Wirtz/Frimpong; basically two of the best players on Leverkusen. Man United just signed Cuhna from Wolves and there will be more moves coming because they keep buying the wrong guys. Nobody feels bad for any of these clubs. The Premier League ushered in this era and now they get to live with it. It's their fault.
Like everyone else said, After this game + last summer's Euros.....
Spain, France, Argentina are a cut above the pack.
England with Tuechel and Brazil with Ancelotti are probably in that next tier
France is a talent FACTORY. If PSG is gonna invest & develop Parisian hood talent (like Barcelona does with la masia) instead of buying aging stars with no real forward planning...... look out.

It’s embarrassing how brehs will juelz away Arsenal sitting on the fence and doubling down
Call it what the fukk it is. Malpractice.
At no point did I say, "Arsenal can't afford...X" but what the level of money that PSG and Newcastle now have is that you can do all sorts of financial trickery to circumvent FFP. Now they can overpay for staff/players, offer wages that far exceed anyone else OR provide incentives that would be financially imprudent for anyone else.
I'm not saying this to "defend" Arsenal. I'm saying this because it's created a zero sum game where spending like a jackass because you're working with a level of wealth that individuals simply CANNOT own as normal. That is not sustainable.
In my perfect world, ALL clubs would have German ownership models (or close to it). But that's unrealistic at this time,

Inter might have well not left their hotel this morning
CR7!
Might have to bump up Portugal to T2
