Can not wait till this kicks off. That group will be amazing to watch. Kinda gutted that Dortmund have now got a real struggle to qualify, like them a lot. Selling Kagawa and signing Reus with change left over is a great bit of business.

Also, Malaga are getting some sort of weird cult following in Spain, like people are tipping them to be the ones to break up the duopoly of Real/Barcelona due to their cash injection, and they were convincing against Panathanikos in the qualification this week
Their group isn't too shabby either;
Group C: AC Milan, Zenit St Petersburg, Anderlecht, Malaga
Home result against Milan and reckon that's an easy second place, Anderlecht looked weak in the playoffs against Limassol.
Also...OH YES WE'VE GOT YOSHIDA -

Now we just need to hang onto Lambert...

I though malaga were having all sorts of problems? They had to sell us one of their best players for budget price

They got a big investment, spent big, and acheived success of sorts with CL qualification. But they are the only Spanish team not to sign anyone this season so there are rumours.
But their homegrown talent is doing okay, Isco was on fire during the playoff matches and Olinga is going to be something special if they can hang onto him (16, youngest ever scored in La Liga I think?)

Well yeah, the guy came in spent a load of money and then fucked off somewhere for about 6 months, players not being paid, sporting directors resigning out of protest.
He's come back again recently and told everyone everything's fine but i don't think its any basis that they're going to get anywhere near barcelona/real madrid, ever- my tip Ateletico to beat Valencia to third, though still about 25 points off second.
In other Spanish football news my beloved Athletic aren't looking too grand either

. They'll get a load of money from Llorente and Martinez but its not like they can spend it on anyone- except maybe arteta/xabi alonso and theres next to no chance of that!

I'm maintaining Internet-silence on that until it's all finalised... Juve might notice he's shit at ANY MOMENT.
Thanks for the, err, memories, Nicklas.
