I'm sorry.

 

[Wilbur]

Does it still count even though they're different cups?

Yes and no.

Yes in that technically there is no new champion of Europe for another week after.

No in that they're fucking cockholes, all of them except sweet Juan, and they deserve to be beaten into the ground for all eternity by whatever team they encounter.

Unfortunately, this team happens to be supported by Lambda Piscium. The most aggressive poster FootballGAF has ever known.

 

[Yurt]

We make threads for EL now?

What's next? Coppa Italia?

We need a Mou vs Pep showdown

From champions league winners to Europa league finalists lol.

 

[Meier]

Thanks for the Chelsea London reference.

RIP elsk

 

[Sviatoslav]

If Benfica win, they should vacate the title out of shame for having lost to Spartak this season.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Europa League is played first though, so he wasn't the holder of both at the same time.

Looking forward to next year's Johnstone's Paint Trophy thread.

Could be worse. At least they're not Liverpool.

 

[Chichikov]

Champions of Europe?

Am I missing an inside joke or something?

At the Champions cup.
Well, they were until they got whooped.

You need to shut up about Spartak already. It's like they raped your entire family and set them on fire afterwards.

Chelsea won't know what hit them. Jesus is on Benfica's side.
