Maccabi Tel Aviv through to the next round of champions league qualifiers! Though they play RB Salzburg so I doubt they'll make it further but... who knows!

Ferencvaros made it into the group stage for the first time in over 20 years! ...Last hungarian team in the CL was in 2009
 
Been a big weekend for NYCFC alumni in Europe

In addition to the above, Angelino scored for Leipzig, and Gio Reyna had 3 assists for Dortmund.

Also, Lampard’s Chelsea and Vieira’s Nice both won.

CBS Sports Network is doing a whiparound, though, so while we won't get any game for 90 minutes, there is TV coverage. I'm sure we'll all hate it because we'd rather just watch a game, but they are doing TV coverage.

It’s cool to have the whip around show in the background with a full match on the tv. That’s what I do with the nfl and red zone on sundays, but it just sucks most people won’t have access to the full UCL matches.
 
Even clubs like Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Barcelona are not in the bag when they play against PSG, Manchester United do, is this 'mutual generation and mutual restraint'?

This thread does not relate to MLS and certainly doesn't deserve it's own thread. I'm moving it to the Champions League thread.

I definitely thought I would hate the whiparound show, but I kind of didn't. Definitely some things they can improve, but all-in-all it wasn't horrible. I'd prefer to have a full game on, but I'd rather not pay the money when I already subscribe to these networks. Feel like I'm getting jerked around by being forced to sign up for all these extra subscriptions. So I can live with the whiparound. Hopefully they'll air full games in the group stage.

Ajax won 13-0 today new Eiridivisie record. I know it's not Champ's league but we don't have a separate Dutch or other leagues thread and it didn't seem justified to start one but also felt like this could not, Not , be commented on lol.

The organizers of the Super League have managed what I thought was impossible, which is to have me take the side of international football confederations.

It's truly disgusting. Good for the German clubs and PSG (though PSG is probably due to Qatar ownership and Qatar wants all the best players at the world cup which wouldn't happen if the super league comes through... but, for now benefit of the doubt.) for rejecting. German clubs have the 50+1 rule which is in place for exactly this reason. It's absolutely disgusting what the owners of clubs like Liverpool, Man U, Arsenal, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Juventus, AC Milan, Porto, ETC. with such incredible history, connection to the fans, and culture, are willing to do. Strip all love and culture out of it. Turn it into a cash cow, moreso than it already is. It's absolutely disgusting. All the teams involved should be relegated as punishment, or their owners expelled from the game. They not only proposed the idea, but they have accepted the proposal. It's gone too far, and there's no going back.

We already see what the closed system is like in MLS, and most of us really don't like it. Some clubs get it right, but lets be honest: for the most part MLS clubs are very very very far removed from the fans. And think of a club like Union Berlin - built by the fans in the most extraordinary of ways. Still in the running now for UCL and Europa League, and all that hard effort would essentially be taken away because some rich people want more money.

Fucking disgusting.
