7. SC Braga, champions for the 3rd time will make their debut in the competition (last time, Youth League was the last edition without champions path).

At 90+10, after the other matches have ended, Boavista got a penalty that they scored and tied the game 2-2 against the already relegated Vizela and sent Portimonense to relegation playoffs. Portimonense won 3-1 the Algarve derby against Farense (whose fans celebrated Boavista late goal), and Estrel...

What happened to roda? I remember, seeing them 2 or 3 weeks ago celebrating their promotion after a victory and now they lost 8-1 on aggregate from breda, did they miscalculate? They celebrated too earlier has in the other match at same time Groningen scored after Roda match ended (@ 90+5). They fa...

Boavista was winning at Porto but left with a loss in injury time. Porto is 3rd and only needs a draw at Braga in final match. Boavista isn't safe from facing the relegation playoff. 14 Boavista 31 15 Estrela Amadora 30 --------- 16 Portimonense 29 (play off position) ------ 17 Vizela 25 (relegated)...

Nacional (Madeira Island) and Santa Clara (Azores Islands) are back to I Liga, Santa Clara after just 1 year, Nacional after 3 years. AVS (a plastic club not far from Lisbon bought, transfered to another city and then transfered again to the north and renamed to sound like Aves, a defunct club) and ...

The juries saved the competition from an Israel fiasco by burying it. The people who voted Israel did it for political reasons, ballads of this style don't get 300+ points and sweep Western Europe with 12s. Happy about Switzerland, Croatia was also very good. Ukraine was also good but boosted by re...

Braga and Porto will play in Europa League, but unless Porto finishes in 3rd, we will have to wait for cup final, to see who plays in group stage.

Shakhtar has made two high-profile transfers as for Ukraine in recent days, left winger Kevin from Palmeiras for 12 million + 3 million bonuses, as well as center field player Marlon Gomez from Vasco da Gama for 12 million + 4 million bonuses. I think the club will not stop there and will buy more ...

Yesterday the news were that Netherlands act was just suspended from rehearsals and presenting it to grand jury, using a taped version instead, due to "an incident". No one knew what incident was but jumped to made a connection with the question made by a polish "reporter" to isr...

Well, Villa indeed followed City and Liverpool through the trapdoor and out. Bad season for England, maybe only West Ham who deserve praise and City were unlucky. So, Villa probably finish 4th and play CL, good season for them, but not fantastic as the English media likes to trumpet it. They're ahe...

Man City is being unfairly picked on. They haven't spent that much in the last 3 years (look at Chelsea and Man United !). They develop their "own" players (Foden, Palmer). They make the above-average players the best (de Bruyne, Rodri). Much better than PSG who just snag Mbappes, Neymars...

Ah ah sore losers! Blame the ref. Real even go to the VAR screen to cry towards the referee when the situation is clear. They would cry even more in such a situation at the end, but it never happens for them in the CL. We have to wait if it was offside or not. If it wasn't, it's typical Real again ...
