International
Despite facing what Kevin De Bruyne called a ‘5-5-0’ formation deployed by Atletico Madrid, Manchester City found the back of the net to take the first leg of their Champions League tie, winning 1-0. Full highlights here.
Liverpool traveled to Lisbon and came away with an impressive 3-1 away win in the first leg of their Champions league tie with Benefica. Full highlights here.
The idea of USL competing with MLS is totally welcome, particularly if CLOWN Garber continues talking of a SuperLeague with Liga MX… MLigaSMX or whatever.
That League would be HIS ego and money talking, justifying increased ticket prices in Chester for what? Euro players who should be retired like HIGUIAN?
NO THANK YOU. Bring on USL with promotion, relegation lined up with global futbol, freezing some games in Jan and Feb… just like the last two games at Subaru, right?
Hosting MLS CUP 2022 in Chester!
