UEFA Champions League 2024-2025 not only changes radically from what we knew, but it gest quite complicated to digest and understand the new shape. Does the imminent commence of European Super League in the near future be a factor? I can say this looks like to be the main key factor of the radical UEFA…

Real Madrid, a trophy room full of… football players!
With the transfer of Kylian Mbappe at Real Madrid, official announcement on 16th of July 2024, the recap of a 21st century situation resumed. After 2000, Real Madrid did its best, thru the president Florentino Perez to sign all key players world wide, on astronomical amounts of money. The initial big signature of Real Madrid…
SUPER LEAGUE | Yes, we can and we must have something new in football!
Almost three years ago, from Florentino Perez, the idea of a European Super League of football, a closed one, only for big and wealthy clubs, emerged. Of course, such an intention from the chairman of the Europe’s most successful club, backed up by… well, um, FC Barcelona – that is a huge rivalry, no doubt!…
Doping in sports: facts versus reality in 2022
Does doping really exist in 2022, in top sports? Well, I don’t want to pretend that I know this for a fact, but after Simona Halep’s positive test I’ve did some research and reread the article from Spiegel – part of Football Leaks – that promoted some very strange doping-related things from the Real Madrid,…
UEFA Champions League Final 2022: pure disgrace
I have written here a preview of the UEFA Champions League final 2022 which, coincidently, was played on Stade de France, a stadium on which I took part at a different sporting event only one month before. I am watching football less and less, because the quality of this sport doesn’t deserve my attention, but…
Stade de France, the other perspective: Champions League final 2022, Liverpool – Real Madrid
Six weeks before the Champions League 2022 final, FC Liverpool – Real Madrid, I’ve stepped on Stade de France, Saint-Denis, for Spartan Stadion. The experience, here. Now, the big match is about to be played. Everybody expected to have a pure English final, but the proverbial luck of Real Madrid played, once more, a big…
Who will win the UEFA Champion’s League 2021-2022?
The quarter-finals of the Champions League are about to start, and now I am curious about who you think will be the “lucky” one this year. Normally, Bayern Munich should win the trophy, but FC Liverpool is not neglectable at this moment either. Manchester City looks like a forever loser in the Champions’ League, and…
How can we still love football?
I’ve starting watching football in 1998. Enjoyed thousand of football matches on screen, hundreds from the stadium, but as years went by, my passion decreased and not because I’ve changed some priorities, because the level of the game dramatically went to the floor. I’ve tried, after some large breaks, to watch a full match: PSG…
Jose Mourinho: important e să-ți dorești!
Pentru majoritatea oamenilor care îl văd la TV, Jose Mourinho pare un tip foarte arogant. Doar pare, fiindcă deși n-am avut ocazia să-l cunosc personal, sunt convins că portughezul nu este și în viața reală în acest mod. El adoptă o aroganță de fațadă, a omului care a ajuns în vârful piramidei fără prea mult…
Zinedine Zidane – regele fotbalului este francez!
Zinedine Zidane este cel mai mare! Cine să fie cel mai bun din toate timpurile? Pele sau Maradona? Cum eu nu i-am văzut pe nici unul jucând, decât în niște înregistrări, nu mă pot pronunța asupra acestui aspect. Dar pot spune fără nicio reținere, că Zinedine Zidane a fost cel mai mare. Nu știu dacă…
