And Liverpool fans thought 30 years was a long wait for league success.

Think he actually wrote on Twitter that he was surprised at the news!

[Bert]

He’s actually passed away now.

Need to give it a day before we know for sure

Yes - few days later sadly .

 

That was a response to the original stories he had passed away .

[StanSP]

Salernitana!

 

On a great run to get out of relegation, beating Cagliari (18th) 1-0 and now given away a penalty in stoppage time...

[StanSP]

Penalty overturned by VAR.

Cagliari equalise from a corner through Altare in the 9th minute of stoppage time. Altare's first goal of the season!

 

Ever-obliging!

Hope they hold on for the title.

One bloke that didn't go was their main capo, he was sentenced to seven years inside last week.

I see our Breton friends Rennes have completely bottled their CL hopes. Lost to their local rivals last night now and dropped down to 5th. 
 

Super ! As they say in France 

[Tommy Fresh]

Bordeaux and St-Etienne both occupying the automatic relegation spots in Ligue 1 with a game to play. 

[Koke]

Huge win for Milan. Theo Hernandez with a mazy run from left back for the second was a thing of beauty.

Kylian Mbappe new contract. 

 

£1m/w wages. Absolutely obscene. 

 

£100m signing on fee. Crazy. 

 

La Liga have formed a complaint about the transfer saying it affects the integrity of European and domestic football...

Isn't this quite ironic, though, especially as it's alleged that they're bank-rolling Barcelona and Real Madrid?..

£100m signing on fee to sign a player you already have  

 

Assuming the commercial stuff will just cover it but it's Madness. 

[Corky]

La Liga complaining about finances ruining football without any hint of self awareness or irony is seriously impressive.

 

He's not coming, lads, get over it.

Yeah it's got a very 'toys out of the pram' vibe.

[Zear0]

Thought I'd read Madrid would match the fees too. The La Liga chief likes a strop every season

That Mbappe deal is hilarious. A stinking example of where this game is at. 

[purpleronnie]

Valencia fans showing how to protest.

 

 

[Finnegan]

Absolutely insane scenes at Sassuolo where the stadium is pretty much full of Milan fans it's absolutely ridiculous. 

 

Not sure I've ever seen anything like it.
