    Sucks for Wenger, hope the fans will mainly remember the good times after a few years have passed.

    Atletico-Marseille should be a fun match, probably the slight edge to Atletico.

    Yea it's been labelled as a race between Bayern, City, Barca and some other English clubs for a while now, so will be interesting to see where he ends up.

    Clasico hasn't disappointed. 2 goals, 5 yellows, and 1 red. Barcelona trying to stay unbeaten. Real Madrid looking to create a memory in this forgettable Liga.

    Ribery accidentally announced his contract extension too early on Instagram and quickly deleted the post.

    Outlets saying Robben hasn't made a decision yet, so maybe we'll finally be forced to buy a star on the transfer market instead of being cheap.

    Lichtsteiner to Dortmund, Fekir apparently to Liverpool for 70mil.

    Fekir is a dope breh, should be fun in Klopp's offense.

    Lichtsteiner is like the very old Juve fossil.

    Yea, but I feel like he'll have great influence on the younger guys and elevate the team. That team desperately needs some experienced vets and role models.

    Favre to Dortmund a done deal, according to Sky. Good coach and person, glad to have him back in Bundesliga.

    Don't think he's the right choice for Dortmund's toxic environment, but he'll definitely develop their young guns. BVB's big days are (once again) over, I think 3rd to 4th spot is the best they can hope for next season.

    Yea I can see him quitting after some time, guy sadly can't deal with stress.

    Not sure about Dortmund tho, they have indicated a roster overhaul and more spending, so maybe they'll get back to a stable 2nd place in the league.

    Rather meant whiny b****es like Schmelzer and Sahin will cry their eyes out in Zorc's and Watzke's office the moment they get rejected by this reasonable coach and demand a firing just like they did with Tuchel.

    Dortmund is losing their best defender in Sokratis and as long as they play mediocre talent like the two I mentioned alongside Bürki, Castro, Toprak, Piszczek and has-beens like Schürrle, Götze and the always injured Reus, they're not competing for first or second place. This is an average team at best and only due to the lack of competitiveness of the Bundesliga they'll make it to next year's Champions League.

    Spanish media saying Barca about to trigger the 100mil Griezmann buy-out clause and have already informed Atletico.

    People had a lot of respect for Barca, but the front office completely killed their reputation after Pep left. Became a pretty disgusting club, especially on the transfer market. Worst thing was them telling Dembele to strike his way out of Dortmund.

    And then you have the open tax fraud and shady government deals.
