The ship is sinking

The ship only has some water below deck

The ship has no water below deck

There is no ship

It would be quite funny if Barcelona and their three remaining players get relegated next year,

The UEFA Executive Committee today decided to allow the 2020 UEFA Super Cup to be played on 24 September 2020 in Budapest with a reduced number of spectators – up to 30 % of the capacity of the stadium – in order to study precisely the impact of spectators on the UEFA Return to Play Protocol.

It was confirmed that all other UEFA matches shall continue to be played behind closed doors until further notice, as initially decided by the UEFA Executive Committee on 9 July 2020.

The UEFA Administration will keep monitoring the situation and advise the UEFA Executive Committee if any change is required or recommended in respect of either the 2020 UEFA Super Cup and/or the decision that UEFA matches shall be played behind closed doors until further notice.

These decisions follow the consultative meeting that UEFA held with its 55 member associations and where such matters were discussed on 19 August 2020.

Commenting on the decisions, UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin said:

“While it has been important to show that football can carry on in difficult times, without fans, the game has lost something of its character. We hope to use the UEFA Super Cup in Budapest as a pilot that will begin to see the return of fans to our matches.

“We are working closely with the Hungarian Federation and its government to implement measures to ensure the health of all those attending and participating in the game. We will not take risks with people’s safety.”

Nothing to see here, just the best fucking volley in the history of football.

Still prefer this one personally

Been awhile since I watched Shaolin Soccer.

Jude Bellingham has one on his debut for Dortmund, becoming their youngest ever goalscorer. 

[Liam]

They should retire his number.

[Cymbols]

Should rename the yellow wall in his honour.

Cardona's goal was fucking excellent by the way. Definitely mistimed his jump, but that is next level midair adjustment right there.

Was gonna point that out, the athletic ability and thought process to make that adjustment was something special 

[Colly]

It's the fact he's actually jumping backwards away from goal that elevates it for me, miles better than say Di Canio's.

Schalke have still only won a single league game this season, having lost 8-0 to Bayern, in the opening game of the Bundesliga season.

[Gazz]

Manuel Neuer now has to quarantine for two weeks after attending the match as a spectator.

[Lineker]

Schalke playing like Barcelona!

[Baddar]

Atletico beating Granada 5-1, with a goal and an assist for Suarez on his debut. He's only been on 15mins too.

Felix also has a goal and an assist, plus a MOTM performance. Atleti playing entertaining football is rare. Hope it continues.

Edit: Make that 6, and another for Suarez.

[Lineker]

3 points have now been given to Juve.
