Considered one of Brazil’s most famous fans and a symbol of the National Team, Mr. Clovis Acosta Fernandes, known as the “Gaucho da Copa”, died this morning (16/09), at the age of 60 in the city of Porto Alegre, victim of cancer. R.I.P Gaucho da Copa.
Bojan won a bake off. He plays violin and bakes too? Yeah, that's attractive
Neymar's future is so bright, he gotta wear shades
Champions League
Chelsea 4- 0 Maccabai Tel Aviv
The narrative, eh? Mourinho under pressure, key players look stale, so he swapped out established heads for new blood

Ruben Loftus-Cheek impressed me, ngl. After a cagey start (yellow carded in the first five minutes of the game), he settled down in midfield, and began to build. He laid the foundation for defence and protected the attack. If Loftus-Cheek doesn't get a run out in the next couple of games, it will be criminal

Diego Costa and his son

The only English top four
Roma 1- 1 Barcelona

Tackles continue apace. Rafarina (?) got a bad one. At least his leg wasn't double fractured and his assailant given MOTM by UEFA. *dead stare*
I need a vine of this golazo. A Roma player named Florenzi struck a ball from midfield. It travelled sixty yards (54.8 metres), at 52 mph (83 kph) and slotted it into the net.
Olympiacos 0 - 3 Bayern Munich

LOL, what is Neuer doing battling corners? (It's not something you see goalies do, usually? It's normally wingers/defenders do, no?

It's hard avoiding pictures of Goeze, with his carb heavy face. But I'll try

Bayern Munich wearing their 'European nights' uniform- the same one that Real Madrid, Juventus, and Chelsea are rocking

The ad copy is more imaginative than the kit design, tbh
Bayern Munich fans tangle with the Greek police. How?
Zagreb 2- 1 Arsenal

The match summed up perfectly, according to what I've read

Arsenal seem to be battling a malaise, what's going on over there?

Gif of action

Giroud got red carded
Valencia 2 - 3 Zenit St Petersbourg
Zenit St Petersbourg- any gossip? AVB (their coach) is leaving Zenit at the end of the season. It's implied that he's going back to Portugal primarily for family reasons
OP: done, cheers, jeers corrections and commentary push back, you know the drill!
