Surprised to see Vecino and not Kamada or Guendouzi. I guess it’s not rotation but the 2 new signings have been disappointing so far. Last call for Immobile as well, I have the feeling if he doesn’t play well tonight then Taty is gonna overtake him in the hierarchies from the next game.

Curious stat: This is the 110th game in a row Felipe Anderson play for Lazio, since his return he never skipped one game due to suspension, injury or technical choice: 110/110

First time Kvara didnt have 2 or even 3 men on him and immediately was decisive…

He’s just too good 1 on 1

Even if a Sociedad win would increase a lot our chances to qualify to the KO stage, our ambitions should be to win this group and avoid all the group winners in the Ro16 (City, Bayern, Barca Madrid etc.) so Forza Benfica…

Two Benfica wins vs La Real and we should only think to win in Salzburg to top the group

Not an easy win but overall I think we deserved it.

Salzburg quite impressed me, I expected a much weaker side given they won just 1 of the last Bundesliga games but are definitely a decent team and have good chances to take at least 1 point in the next game. Pavlovic rock solid, this guy will play for an EPL top6 team next season imho given Bayern don’t need other CBs, gg also from Gloukh.

I’d like also to congratulate all the italian teams for the results obtained so far in Europe, one only loss in FIFTEEN games played up to now (vs Madrid) is big, out SEVEN clubs have suffered LESS losses than MANCHESTER UNITED alone, IMPRESSIVE stat (it’s not casual I write it now tho, I expect two defeats from tomorrow’s games)

That’s off topic tho.

We’re just discussing the domestic TV deals here and to me it’s surprising La Liga can be so competitive despite their INFERIORITY to the other top leagues in terms of audience (least in terms of population and GDP per capita)

?? This is domestic TV deals so Venezuela and the other latino countries are not included AFAIK

Population:

• Germany: 83m
• Spain: 47m

GDP per capita

• Germany: 51.200 US Dollars

• Spain: 30.100 US Dollars

And considering that pretty much fussball is popular in Germany as much as futbol in Spain I’d be very surprising if it would be otherwise.

Considering the german domestic TV deal is for Buli and 2.Buli then I’m still quite surprised that Bundesliga is on pair with La Liga given both Germany’s population and GDP are almost TWICE as Spain which means there are MORE people willing to watch football and willing to spend MORE money given their higher salaries compared to Iberia.

The real standing for the domestic TV rights considering the quality of the league, GDP, population and soccer popularity in a certain country the standing should be: EPL >> Bundesliga > Serie A = Spain = Ligue 1

Well done Javier Tebas.

There’s nothing to gain

Nothing material but… Pride… and Facts.

Being the 2nd country in the UEFA coefficient would be great and would help Serie A to not be perceived as a farmer league from english people.

2nd is always better than 3rd. I mean they fecked my brain last season about how important how fantastic how great was 2nd place in Premier League for ARSENAL and you tell me 2nd or 3rd is the same? Well yeah, you don’t get more benefits but I’ve the feeling ARSENAL are the closest to stop Manchester City reign.
