This Gladbach-Bayern game has been enthralling.

Not just the height but the timing...

And scoring while sticking the landing.

Quote

Per position, the most expensive players from a transfer value perspective are Alisson Becker for goalkeepers (€87 M), Virgil van Dijk for centre backs (€93 M), Trent Alexander-Arnold for full backs (€110 M), James Maddison for midfielders (€112 M) and Kylian Mbappé for forwards (€265 M). Eleven out of the 20 big-5 league footballers with an estimated value of at least €100 million play for English Premier League clubs.

There are at least two players worth more than €100 M are in each of the remaining big-5 leagues: three in the Liga (Messi, Griezmann and João Felix), two in the Ligue 1 (Mbappé and Neymar), two in the Serie A (Martínez and Lukaku), as well as two in the Bundesliga (Sancho and Werner). More information about the exclusive approach developed by the CIES Football Observatory research team to estimate transfer values on a scientific basis is available in this methodological note.

Interesting that they have Jorginho valued more than Kante.

Obviously they are wrong.

[maninblack 7,974]

Don't think they trust Kante's birth certificate

So now that the Bundesliga is starting back up in 2 weeks, somebody educate me on it. Will it scratch the no MLS/EPL itch for me?

Sure, it's great football. Some of the best players in the world are there. If you can watch MLS, Bundes is a HUGE upgrade.

[MillerEP 30,447]

Ok, RB Leipzig, here I come. I guess.

[Zepol87 9,185]

Word is Reggie Cannon is gonna make a move over there next year also. So you will have more than enough players to watch even if you don't have a definite team.

If you watch MLS, then any European soccer will scratch your itch.

 

ANY.

Hell yeah. Liga NOS is better than MLS.
