PSG beat Man City, Liverpool, Aston Villa, Arsenal, Inter Milan on the way to the Cup Got damn what a run... I can't believe it. I thought there were still a year or two away

 

[Lurkio]

And this squad is so much more fun to watch than the mercenary teams

It is…but this is still a club w the highest wage bill in the game…wages paid usually correlates to success…let’s not make it seem like these are all academy players…it’s a result of great recruitment but also big spending

club accounts could lag by 12-18 months sometimes from the date of these media publications, so that wage bill that's circulating is from at a minimum mbappe's last season and at a max includes messi and neymar. it's definitely not this team.

It's an expensive team but look at the key contributors. Dembele was thought to be on the downward trend. Doue' is 19. Any of the big clubs could have signed Neves. Any of the big clubs could have signed Kvara. Barcola didn't contribute much tonight but on the year he's been fantastic as well. Vitinha and Hakimi are always underrated by pundits at their position.

It’s a fantastic team…they’ve done a great job building it and it’s been coached very well…but it would be impossible w/o being state funded and being so rich compared to the rest of their league

Premier League started the trend.

This is the scary thing w Newcastle…everyone in the premier league is finished if they build the right way and get a top tier coach

 

[Givethanks]

Trophyless a$$holes, all that to get embarrassed in a CL final.

Man fukk inter

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

I'm in disbelief. I thought it'd be maybe another year or two with this young squad.

Man stop. They backed their way into the CL. Losing to Everton at home in a must win scenario. They lucky they extened CL to 5 teams for EPL

Inter needs a a young core of guys that they can add to the mix, that team full of old heads that you see in Serie A doesn't work in Europe.
