Did Benfica Lissabon pull a Bayern (three times 2nd place) this season?


Talk about bad luck. Insane.


Porto 2 - 1 Benfica
Chelsea 2 - 1 Benfica
V. Guimaraes 2 - 1 Benfica

This after a run with only 1 loss (vs Fenerbahce in the EL semis) since October.



Don't tell me they were all from late goals either? I would go mad.

This time it wasn't at 90+2, but it was still cruel.

We scored early vs Guimarães, controlled the game, until minute 79 when, after a GK mistake, Guimarães scored beneffiting from off-side position. Two minutes later they shoot from outside the area, the ball gets deflected off Luisão and the GK is tricked and doesn't reach the ball even though it went pretty much in the middle of the goal. What a cold shower.


But you understand you can't just throw money at it with the FFP rules incoming? Chelsea make money even when they spend £50million on Torres and 30Million on Hazard they still turn over a profit which is fine.
I rather doubt PSG and Monaco have the income from sponserships/sales to compete with the links of Barca/Real/United. And if they fail to meet the FFP rulings they wont be able to compete in Champs League thus they wont be able to get the best players?

i think psg just signed the worlds biggest deal on jersey sponsorship,iam not sure though

Well at this point it's only rumors about the next manager, so pretty much all the free big managers in Europe are fair guesses. Allegri did really well with Milan in 2013, I think Milan was the #1 team in Italy in 2013.
Blanc is awful


Allegri is not free, neither is Capello. Not that it means much. Please tell me more why you think Blanc is awful and Allegri is so good (honest question :p)

The situation around Allegri is unclear, Sky Italia reported that he was sacked and talking with AS Roma. When the first rumors about Capello started, they were talking about Qatari letting him coach the russian team, but yeah, it's a bit weird.
About Blanc, I just don't think he is a good manager. When you watch Milan play this year, it was pretty good and Allegri even manage to do something with Balotelli. Bordeaux and France managed by Blanc were not exciting, and his leadership seems lacking too.
But yeah I'm really worried for PSG, especially because Ancelotti seems like the perfect manager for us


Blanc is very good, he was elected manager of the year in his first year, won Ligue 1 on his second year, went with Bordeaux to the Champion's League quarter finals with the likes of Gourcuff, Chamakh and Alou Diarra xD. He has the second best record of undefeated games with the France national team behind Aimé Jacquet (France 98). He plays a possession game, offensive football which is very entertaining. As a player, he was a world-class defender and played with the very best.

In my book Blanc > Allegri


Yeah Blanc was a very good manager. And world class as a defender, I am sad he quit the national team

I think Ancelotti is staying because i heard rumors that Jupp wants the Real job now. Hopefully, we can keep Ancelotti for another year then if Ancelotti wants to leave still then he can fuck off. Wenger will come to PSG and lead us to glory.

Tbh Blanc is a good coach for a small team. He can't handle egos that well like how we saw with the national team. I doubt he can handle the likes of Menez, Ibra, and maybe Rooney if he comes.

So anyone knows what is the overall price Barca paid for Neymar? Lot of speculation from the media all over the world, i don't know who to trust. Brasil says 25M, SPORT says 53M and Sid Lowe is saying over 100M.

I think around 50m.

It was 100m in total.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/may/26/neymar-barcelona-santos-move

Neymar's contractual situation was complex, with a number of interested parties involved: the DIS investment group held 40% of his economic rights while another group, TEISA, held 5% and Santos 55%.

But Santos held 100% of his registration. In the end, Barcelona reportedly agreed to pay Santos and those partners around €28m, plus a further €30m to the player and close to €9m in agents' fees. A down payment of €10m had already been made in January 2011. Neymar will sign a five-year contract on a salary of €7m a season. In total, that means the package is worth more than €100m.


RM's bid was reportedly 150m, that's why Barca's coach came out and said Neymar chose for football reasons and not financial.

Woah, huge respect for the kid then.
50m is a lot of money.
He also didn't even want to get an offer from bayern and chelsea.

I hope he succeeds for this reason alone.

@ the two guys above me

Why do you bring that here?
Do you want me to post the amount of germany's and america's national banks debt and the reasons why you haven't flopped on your bellies yet?
You won't like it.

This is the one thread we can be silly and poke each other in good fun, take your biased political views elsewhere.

Sry for back seat moderating.

The first post wasn't even political at all, calm down I personally have very little knowledge of the size of different kind of debts and how they actually afflict the way a club may spend money, yet I wonder from time to time how they manage to spend that much again and again.

A Greek talking about national debt? Pretty ironic don't you think?

My comment was not political at all, it talks to the overall point of how Barca and RM spend money they don't have, even after taking into account the fact that they hold the majority share of their TV rights (unlike EPL which is shared equally). This is acceptable in Spain due to the fact that the country is run the same way. In England, you have fans of United lament the fact that the Glazers pump the club with debt, but you won't hear such grumblings in Spain.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2013/may/04/barcelona-real-madrid-spain-pain
http://sportsnewsireland.com/soccer/soccer_irish/real-madrid-tops-football-rich-list-but-who-tops-the-debt-list-2013-04-18/


Here is the top ten and what they are worth:

1. Real Madrid £2.18billion
2. Manchester United £2.09billion
3. Barcelona £1.72billion
4. Arsenal £880million
5. Bayern Munich £860million
6. Ac Milan £624million
7. Chelsea £595million
8. Juventus £458million
9. Manchester City £455million
10. Liverpool £430million

Now here is the debts those teams seem to have:

1. Real Madrid £600million
2. Manchester United £359.7million
3. Barcelona £369.5million
4. Arsenal £104million
5. Bayern Munich- NO DEBT they have been in profit ever since the 2011-12 season.
6. AC Milan £298.8million
7. Chelsea- NO DEBT they made a profit of 1.2million dated April 10th 2013
8. Juventus £48.65million
9. Manchester City- NO DEBT but have yet to release their profit margins
10. Liverpool £237million


Oh look, RM debt/EV ratio is 30%, Barca is 21%. Man United is the highest in England at 18%. Champions League winner Munich has 0 debt. Is it a mere coincidence that clubs are run the same as their countries?

Here.

I will let you figure out the reason why a country with 10m population and such a small debt(comparing with g20 countries) that makes the staggering 3% of the european economy is the bad guy.

Debt in intself isn't bad at all when you can easily pay it back and with the cash flow RM and Barça have it's not thag big of a problem. The actual problem is that clubs in some countries are allowed to have these debts while clubs in others do not which creates unequal competition between leagues. And of course too much debt like a lot of clubs in Spain is really bad as well.
