Spurs are such a well run club.

Real Madrid 497 is insanely low given how strong their squad is. Their squad net worth is 669m I have just checked at the moment. That is without Asensio given a fair figure (currently 27m).

Embarrassing for the league really. Guardiola was lucky Mane got sent off, I think Man City really are not all that. They've spent over 200m since last season and I see nothing to suggest they've improved that much. Bernardo silva will be a great buy over team though.

I wouldn't put ten pence on Man City winning the CL.
