Agreed, we're now seeing the result of what this financial gap has created. All the games were walkovers. The fun has really been sucked out of this game
Liverpool held by Sevilla?
Porto losing at home to Besiktas?
Leipzig getting a point from Monaco?
This financial gap's 'relevance' is a fiction imo. Best team wins on the night. End of the day, plough 500M into a team and you still can't prevent a penalty from Kessie or an OG from whoever.
There's like PSG, Real, City perhaps and who else? Who else has boatloads of cash and has propelled themselves into an unfair European elite?
PS Feyenoord and the Dutch league is horrendous - any half decent UCL team could go there and get 3 points.
PPS Napoli are by no means poor and are on the verge of being a part of this 'gap' - yet got owned by Ukrainians?
There really wasn't a single artificial result over these two match days which presented an unfair gap. If Real play Apoel, they REALLY should tonk them. Not about money.
