Last weekend, they played out a similarly frantic, but much more controlled 1-1 draw. How have the 2 sides progressed since that crazy encounter last December? It’s been a tumultuous 10 game run for Newcastle to start this season, but it was on the 11th match that Rafa Benitez’s luck began to turn. A 1-0 win over Watford lifts the merry men of Tyneside out of the relegation zone! Long overdue Bielsa-watch as Leeds go back on top of the Championship. That video doing the rounds of the whole team running back to defend a counter attack is amazing. There’s been an absolutely massive leak of football-related documents recently, with Der Spiegel doing a lot of the reporting. It ranges from financial doping to potentially even an actual positive doping test of a, quote, “multiple time Champions League winner.” And while we won’t sit here and theorise who that player may be, we will instead discuss the very prevalent “European Super League.” The Champions League returns this week.
