We all know that the only opportunity for change will be when the Super League will inevitably come in a few years and there will be no more Madrid, Barca, Big 4 in Italy, Big 6 in England etc. in the CL like we know today.
The question is if the big countries will still continue to hold all the power over Uefa competitions and money distribution when the biggest names will only be Villarreal, Lazio or West Ham?
But even if the EU court decides to dismantle Uefa's monopoly, I'm pretty sure they'll try to arrange a compromise with the Super League clubs at some point.

Not something you normally see, 3/4 of the Chelsea midfield are English. Got Sterling up front as well. Hopefully these guys can put on a good show!

Good start by Chelsea. It's an open, clean game so far.

Orsic breaks away one on one and slots in against the run of play to give DZ the lead.

It's a much better finish than I thought it was in real time. He's done very well to put that away.

0-1 HT.

Chelsea are better. Largely in control. Moving the ball well. Playing at pace. It's just not coming in front of goal.

Very good Dinamo lead at the half with a wonderful goal by Orsic! Chelsea have more possession, but couldn't create any clear cut chances, only half chances after defensive mistakes. On the other hand Dinamo could have scored at least one more from counters.

So you want to use this thread for all matchdays? In the past we always had an own thread for every matchday.

Kepa saves onto the bar.

Weird game. DZ don't attack much, but are very dangerous when they do. Chelsea the opposite.

Didn't notice the thread. I'll stay in here for this match, then switch over for the later matches. :up:

James slams the post, then the keeper makes a great double save.

Can we either stay here or move to the other thread? It's silly to have 2.

1-0 FT. This match leaves me confused at how Chelsea could play the way they did yet offer so little threat in front of goal.

That'll be it for me in this thread.
