Part of me wants Tommy Tuchs to show ~~sharkie~~ Chelsea that he’s still got it, but another part of me thinks it would be madness. They’ve already turfed him out before, and 9 other managers since and it’s not as if he tends to get on with upper management at the best of times.

mckenna has to stay at ipswich imo. would be dog to ipswich to leave them hanging after just getting them promoted to the top flight. also if ipswich manages to not get relegated in their first season, mckenna will basically have a free pass into any big club around england, perhaps even the world. he doesnt need to pick chelsea now

Back-to-back promotions, no less!

Chelsea will get de Zerbi because Boehly hungers to become Brighton

Time to sell Caicedo to Utd for 115m? Enzo to Liverpool for 35m release clause.

Very exciting game already between Leverkusen and Atalanta. Love the way Leverkusen are building up against Atalanta's aggressive man marking.

First goal from absolute chaos inside the penalty area, what a superb run from Lookman. Poor from Leverkusen not having a man at least trying to block him or get to the ball first.

I'm honestly ready for the 90+2 Leverkusen goal but Atalanta's offense has broken through Leverkusen's defense again and again in the past 10 minutes and a goal was bound to be scored. Leverkusen making too many careless passing mistakes and giving up the ball in the midfield.

EDIT: ANOTHER FROM LOOKMAN AS HE CUTS TO HIS RIGHT RIGHT IN THE 1PENALTY ARC! Another poor ball given away from Leverkusen off a goal kick and everything is going Atalanta's way right now. Definitely feels reminiscent of the game at Anfield when we got smashed by Atalanta. Can Leverkusen find something?

EDIT 2: LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO unreal stuff from Lookman. What a hatty, incredible goals from him.

Very anti-climatic ending to this amazing streak. Concede a goal early and then just get outplayed. Too bad, but it became clear that Atalanta was no fluke.
Great year for the Bundesliga, but with the very real risk that there won't be an silverware to show for it - as is the case so often, unfortunately :-(

If Dortmund wins, however, it would be more than glorious. One can dream.

Gz Bergamo, well played!

Am I the only one who finds it weird how they play this first (only a few days after the end of season in most leagues) and not the Conference League final?

Looks like Bayern are going to bring in Kompany as manager...

Wow what a stellar performance from Atalanta! Well deserved.
They were bullying and pressuring Leverkusen all over the place never even getting the chance to do their thing. Leverkusen looked empty

I still remember Lookman's atrocious attempt at a panenka that cost Fulham a vital point in the 2021 relegation battle. Wrote him off as an absolute clown like Aboubakar Kamara.

Good to see that he's improved.
