Good news but el premiership and la liga wont pay out the bug bucks unless exceptional at 30. Shame Ajax couldn’t have held onto other players. Best side in it this year considering who they beat but a flukey spurs put paid to their chances.
@MoffWarburton: the best side won the competition
@Keith Synnott: I don’t think so
@MoffWarburton: Liverpool would have torn them apart in the CL, if City had made it past Spurs they’d quite possibly be CL champs but the world is full of ifs, buts and maybes
@Rob G: I do
@MoffWarburton: best side in it hahaha. If their “world class centre half” De Ligt didn’t cower out of the tackle on Lucas Moura for the winner, they’d have been in the final
