Am I understanding correctly that Alves was going to get booked for the initial tackle and then said something ugly and it got promoted to a straight red?

Yeah and Verratti knocked the red card out of referees hand and is lucky/might get fucked after.

Verratti apologized to the ref right after tho, looked very much like an accident from that clip.

Yeah will depend on what referee about that incident, I also don't know how exactly retroactive action in France works because every league has their own stupid rules about that.
However running into the referee to protest against a card is ridiculously stupid

Nacho is quite underrated. He has been better than Varane this last two years (And than Ramos this season).

I do wonder how PSG is going to perform in the UCL. The yesterday's Lyon match is probably as close to the top tier battle they've been all season. And as good as Lyon may be, they are not exactly Real Madrid yet.

The PSG lineup is definitely good enough on paper, but I can't help feeling the uncontested domestic league has dulled out some of the edge.

I think the bigger worry for PSG is the tensions within the team resulting from jealousy / vanities and the special status of Neymar. The coach is also often criticized and might not make it to the end of the season.

Well and their defense is straight up not good.

Yeah... I kind of feel like the tensions are partly because of how little pressure they've got in the domestic league. When there's no drama & competition outside, the team starts finding it in the inside.

They're probably not the most compatible team chemistry in the first place, but the lack of meaningful short term objectives is what really makes it boil over. I've done the Finnish military service, I know how it goes when you bunch together a group
of young men and give them too few meaningful activities to focus

There are rumors for new FFP rules.

UEFA want a limit of 100 million euros between transfer income and expenditure

Basically 100 million euro max deficit from transfers and 25 max players in the squad... I hope they address the state owned clubs too.

So the limit is if you Profit of £30million you can only spend at max £130million on a player? I think adding a transfer cap could be a good idea, or maybe just saying your only allowed to spend up to £150million a window no matter who you are.

The 25 man squad thing is bit silly as that is what most leagues and clubs are anyway right? I mean even Man City who had world class reserve let alone bench only have 23 man squad

So do we then give every team a waiver to get equal with the teams that have already been through this build up phase or do we just create a 2 class system right now where other teams can't catch up?
Because this is all that PSG and City have been doing, getting on level terms with what Chelsea did 10 years earlier...

I think that they are talking about the people on loan, too. Chelsea is given as an example of having a 60-men squad. I don't know what is the deal there, but apparently that is a bad practice and UEFA wants to remove it.

Oh right, most of our loan players are under 20 though but i guess we see what specific rule it will be.

But only if you count players that are away on loan, Chelsea B team, etc. etc. I don't know what they consider a squad if Chelsea is a 60-man squad.

If I've understood correctly, there was already a risk of the rules being dodged by teams with strong ownership connections. For example RB Leipzig and RB Saltzburg can have some convenient trades to allow additional room under the cap.
