For the longest time, we have known that the biggest European club competition is the Uefa Champions League! It still is. The Uefa Europa league follows it closely but not many people pay major attention to it. At times we have even felt as though some coaches would willingly not try to participate in the competition as it does not have the astute recognition its superior, Champions League has.

Then comes the Uefa Super Cup. A one-off game to decide who between the winner of the Champions League and the winner of the Europa league is 'better' heading into the new season.

Until this year, those were the only two Uefa Club-based competitions, but a third was introduced. The Uefa Conference League. There is still so much to learn about this competition. Our key takeaway from it is just that Uefa wanted to expand their reach and allow more teams to play in 'Europe'

Then comes the question, will there be an equivalent one-off game of the Super Cup? If so, will the Europa league winners play two games?

Comment in the description below and give us your thoughts.

Newcastle United are under new ownership, with a £300 million ($408m) deal led by a Saudi Arabian consortium being completed as Mike Ashley’s 14-year tenure at St James’ Park comes to a close. Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) have acquired an 80 percent controlling stake in the Magpies, with Ashley’s controversial ownership coming to an end as a result.

With PIF providing 80% of the funds for a takeover, a deal has passed the Premier League’s owners’ and directors’ test regarding who is calling the shots at St James’ Park.

With a green light given by the English top-flight, following a breakdown in discussions back in July 2020, Newcastle can now start planning for what they hope will be a brighter future.

Staveley's P*P Capital Partners and the Reuben brothers are also among the partners that now hold the reins of an ambitious but success-starved outfit. The 36-year-old has been Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia since June 2017 and is also the country's deputy prime minister, Chairman of the Council for Economic and Development Affairs, Chairman of the Council of Political and Security Affairs, and Minister of Defense.

Bin Salman is estimated to have a personal fortune of around £13 billion ($17.6bn), which would place him just behind Manchester City supremo Sheikh Mansour on a list of the Premier League’s richest owners.

Tough fixture list for United ahead. How many points do you think they will get?

On paper their squad is more than decent.

Greenwood and the rest of the squad, they should be getting a minimum of 25 points our prediction.

Aside from Aaron showing us that he is a true RED devil 😂 that was a masterclass performance by Young Boys!

threw the game at half time with a rather unexpected sub. Again showing that he does not have any trust in !

The sub for was defensive enough and from our point of view
should have encouraged his players to go for a second goal in the second half.

Surely defending a 1 0 win away from home in Europe with a red card was not going to be easy. United came out of the dug out for the second half with no attacking threat whatsoever. Their two shots on target goes to show that! Registering their second shot on target from a 25th minute Ronaldo strike.

That LOSE should be blamed on OLE ! !

Niles is being linked with a move to Everton.

In our opinion he should have retrained as a right back, maybe he would get game time at Arsenal!

On his Instagram story he has posted saying "All I wanna do is go where I'm wanted and where I'm gonna play😭😭😭"
