That's some serious wedge for 6 games. 80 mil for Arsenal, can buy a proper striker for that.

That's some serious wedge for 6 games. 80 mil for Arsenal, can buy a proper striker for that.

It is. Look at PSG earnings. They would have went out only for that Last min penalty and still earned 90od million.

It just goes to show how important any type of European football is.

The amount earned from UEFA’s competitions depends on four different elements:

• Participation fee
• Prize money
• UEFA coefficient
• TV pool

However, the percentage split of these four elements varies by competition, e.g. in the Champions League this is made up of participation fee 25%, prize money 30%, UEFA coefficient 30% and TV pool 15%.

In the Champions League the UEFA coefficient is particularly important, covering a hefty 30% of the total payment, compared to only 15% in the Europa League and 10% in the Europa Conference.

Inter vs athletico
Lazio vs bayern
Napoli vs barca

3 big names from those alone

RB vs Real is tasty

 

[ddoubleep]

Some great ties with old school vibes but City get the easiest group and last 16

 

[Tombstone]

Knew City would get Copenhagen. A Real v Bayern final would be good to see, Bellingham vs Kane

 

[ddoubleep]

Bellingham vs Kane would make for a great final before the Euros

 

[The_One]

Bellingham vs Kane would make for a great final before the Euros

So would rice/saka vs bellingham or vs kane

There are other English players

There are other English players

Rice / Saka vs Bellingham in Semi

Rice/Saka vs Kane in Semi

So many variations

Not forgetting Grealish, Foden & Co!

Yeah but other English players havent scored 17 goals in 20 games and 24 goals in 21 games this season

Obviously because all the other players are playing in a competitive league.

Obviously because all the other players are playing in a competitive league.

The same league that's going to fall out of the top spots in the coefficient rankings because the teams that qualify for Europe have largely failed?

Obviously because all the other players are playing in a competitive league.

Perhaps, although as Haaland got 52 goals in 53 games and Salah got 44 goals in 52 games and Harry Kane got 41 goals in 48 games in a season for their clubs then maybe its simply that Bellingham and Kane are a level above Rice/Saka/Grealish/Foden and thats why I picked out a Bellingham vs Kane final in particular over the other possible English players combinations. After all my statement that "A Real v Bayern final would be good to see, Bellingham vs Kane" didnt read as "A Real v Bayern final would be the only good one to see, Bellingham vs Kane", merely that given the form of both of them it would be a particularly stand-out one to see as the two most in form English players facing off against each other.

If Haaland scored as many goals as he did last season in any other league it would be known as a farmers league
