    Mourinho also on the list.
    This kinda puts the charity these guys do in perspective.

    Ronaldo is being labelled a saint for donating a few thousands here and there and it is made sure you see it in all tabloids and social media. Compare his charity donations to the avoided tax and it is a joke, these guys are disgusting and greed apparently never stops.

    Surprised about Ødegaard's dad, it seemed the guy only cares about money.

    Same. But what he wrote in a mail sounds exemplary: "He [Ødegaard] will make a lot of money anyway. (...) That's why it is also a moral question, with how much effort he should try to save a few taxes, while other people are struggling to pay their bills."

    Not surprised at all about Ronaldo and Mourinho, who was obligated to pay back €4.4M. To add a few more names: Pepe, Fabio Coentrao, Ricardo Carvalho, James Rodriguez. All current or former Real players, so that's where obviously the leak is.

    Hell of a game by Chelsea. Amazing how this team has bounced back when they've gone down a goal. Hope they can stay top of the table. And also pure craziness at the end with the Aguero tackle. He's gonna miss quite a few games no doubt

    They contributed to an amazing atmosphere in Bournemouth.

    Yeah, nice one.

    Another close but meaningless victory over Atlético. That Rostov loss hurts now, could've finished first.

    Another exciting match between Dortmund and Real. Good for Bayern that Reus scored that late goal, so we can't face Madrid next round.

    Group stage is done, draw will be Monday at 12:00 CET.

    Seeded (Group Winners)
    Arsenal
    Napoli
    Barcelona
    Atlético Madrid
    Monaco
    Borussia Dortmund
    Leicester City
    Juventus

    Unseeded (Runners-Up)
    Paris Saint-Germain
    Benfica
    Manchester City
    Bayern München
    Bayer Leverkusen
    Real Madrid
    Porto
    Sevilla

    No Barca or Juve for Bayern and I'm fine.

    Bayern has been in peak condition these last three games, good to see.

    Guy plays like crap unless he has 100% trust and confidence, same happened in Dortmund. If Mourinho continues to play him, he'll deliver.

    Did that ever work out?

    Draw Results:
    Man. City (ENG) v Monaco (FRA)
    Real Madrid (ESP) v Napoli (ITA)
    Benfica (POR) v Dortmund (GER)
    Bayern (GER) v Arsenal (ENG)
    Porto (POR) v Juventus (ITA)
    Leverkusen (GER) v Atlético (ESP)
    Paris (FRA) v Barcelona (ESP)
    Sevilla (ESP) v Leicester (ENG)

    Little disappointing. Same old **** with Bayern against Arsenal and Barca against PSG.
