And they haven't been performing well enough in Europe the last 10/11 years to warrant it at all. Liverpool twice and Spurs once making Champions League finals recently but other than that quite poor compared to 8 CL finalists for Spain and 5 for Germany Man U and Chelsea in the past ten in the Champions League too I think. Liverpool and Chelsea have both been in the final of the Europa League in that time too. All four teams in the Finals last year were English though, but its all swings and roundabouts. Countries go through spells dominating so its pointless for them to go on about it like they own the world because the next season they could totally flop.

I've heard him say the opposite with players 'going away' from the goals argument used. 😅 If its the middle of the penalty area, definitely a red card imo, but as he was going very wide I think the ref got it correct. Its not clear cut as Savage claims, either way. Surprised he went against the on field ref and VAR. Probably because they are foreign and aren't his pals Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cut off my stat the season after Man Utd and Chelsea. Europa League fair enough but that skews it way more into Spain's favour again with 4 wins for Sevilla and 3 for Atletico. Spain have been by far the most dominant country in Europe this decade. As we both agree though I'm sure, certainly not done anything to suggest they are some kind of elite power in European football to warrant any kind of snobbery to other leagues Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one of the best football forums around too. I've never been a member there, for obvious reasons, but I do read it from time to time. I read RAWK now and again because its often like Kerrydale and comedy gold, but I've given it a miss this season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyhrfc 2,242 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Winners of the CL and EL is swings and roundabouts but there aren’t too many clubs outside of Germany, England, Italy, Spain and France who get there names on the trophy. What would it take for a Rangers side to get to a final again? Maybe the last 16 was one hell of an achievement? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayrshireranger 8,050 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Loved the final, great game. Going for Sevilla, and they deserved it. Re the yellow card, would they have banged on about it endlessly if Lukaku hadn't played in England?. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
