Matchweek 30
In what has been a great midweek in football (if you’re not a Madrid, Roma or PSG fan), all will be forgiven if the BPL action this weekend appears dour and bland.
After that midweek madness where — Tadic served an angelic plate of saintly footwork with a mouthwatering side of assists and a touch of a goal at the tapas bar previously known as Santiago Bernabeu — or where The Red Devils made history (and left their injured and ex-players on the brink of insanity on socmed) by clawing back from a home deficit in Paris and bid au’revoir to the noveau riche in PSG — can it really be better?
Can it? Oh, just can it.
Anyway…
Match of the Week
MUN v ARS
Both teams travelled across the Channel in midweek and registered 3–1 scorelines. And in both games, the favourites actually lost.
Unfortunately for ARS, that’s where those similarities end, as they were the favourites but were given a lesson in je ne sais quoi by Rennes, whereas MUN fried the French at their own soil.
Will Utd come tumbling down after all that hyperbole midweek or will The Emirates Stadium be JLingz’ and Co.’s dancefloor yet again?

My money’s on the Moonwalk, though it wouldn’t be as smooth as THAT encounter in the FA Cup.
Special Mention
Strength in Depth
With a Champions League game in the horizon for both LIV and MCI, the Question is — who has the better squad depth?
Answer is — MCI.
Both face tricky ties at home against lesser opposition this weekend in the BOL, though MCI’s guests certainly will be able to provide a sterner test at the Etihad than their Claret&Blue counterpart down at Anfield.
Don’t get me wrong — I see both title chasers winning their games but..
I expect Pep to rotate the hell of his rotisserie of a team and still make a meal out of WAT
whilst
Klopp would play his first-stringers, secure a comfortable enough lead before resting his key players for the upcoming trip to the Allianz Arena.
After being the butt of jokes for eons, the BPL has to be LIV’s priority, no?
