Fudal

We secured the title with 5 games to go, and Ferran Jutgla, our star striker, gets injured for the rest of the season. The lineups and managers. 23 year old Josh Bright versus Julian Nagelsmann. 37 minutes in and a goal line scramble off of a corner sees Mariano slot it away!!! I had a feeling he could be a difference maker for us, so I chose him over Pejcinovic! 1-0 Brugge heading into HT. Gagliardini off for Vanaken, as he has a yellow. 58 minutes in Mariano is played through by Vlasic and his close range effort is saved by Neuer!! 77 minutes in Ahmed's ball over the top finds Vlasic and he shoots over! 4 minutes of stoppage time pass and Club Brugge are champions of Europe!!! A game with very few highlights, but it doesn't matter to us! INSANITY!

Cama could end up being a heartbreaker here. We manage to FM them! Onto Bayern in Germany for the final

A 2-1 loss in London sets us up for another midweek tie in Bruges. Insanity. We dominated them. And Real Madrid beat Tottenham 3-0 on aggregate so we'll be facing them in the semis.

17m for the next great striker.

Napoli is dispatched 6-3 on aggregate and we draw Arsenal in the QF. The winner of this tie will play the winner of Real Madrid and Tottenham.

We somehow manage to destroy Dortmund 3-0 at home, and now we're seeded for the draw! We get Napoli in our first draw, which is better than pretty much any other unseeded team.

Late November update, we sacrificed the cup for an away match at Benfica two days later, and a 2-2 draw secures our spot in the round of 16 with a match to play vs Dortmund. Now to wait for our draw after the match with Dortmund. We also didn't have our 2 newest signings registered, so I'm very hopeful for our chances in the knockout rounds.

So for this save I downloaded a data pack that kept the old CL format for the whole save, I just prefer it that way. Our group for this year is Benfica, Dortmund and Basel. Skov Olsen was sold for 15m to Zenit, and we've signed Sander Berge and Gaston Avila for a total of 37m.

Our newest midfield general signing for 16m. Liverpool makes it 8 after they beat 4 (FOUR) time nearly men Atletico Madrid 3-0. The Illia Zabarnyi sweepstakes have started and four clubs have triggered his 44m release clause. We'll see who he picks, because he has no interest staying. Just a year after he was signed we make a profit on VK. We've also sold Roman to hopefully conjure the funds for a true out and out goalscorer for the future of this club. Our hopeful new number 9 for the forseeable future. Way to kick us while we're down Tottenham. Not quite the same tier of player, but he's good enough.

We also secured the title with a match to play. Safe to say we threw it-ahem- played the youngsters. Tottenham in the final then. Their 11 and substitues. And our 11. 24 minutes in and Mariano has put us 1-0 up! That's his 40th goal this season!!! And we keep the lead until HT. Son scores a long ranged effort as we're making subs. 1-1. Kane scores a penalty that was very very harsh. Son didn't even go down ffs! Richarlison scores on the counter as we went very attacking. 3-1 and it would end that way. Nearly men again.

A 1-0 cup final win over Oostende comes in between our Betis ties. A 3-1 victory in the home leg and a 1-0 win in the away leg sees us through to the final against... Tottenham! Another nearly men side, but this time will be facing a Europa League final against us.

We're through. Betis managed to defeat Napoli, so we face them in the Semi Final.

Nice were beaten 5-3 on aggregate following 2 late goals in the away match. Sporting are our next opponents, and the winner of this tie faces the winner of Napoli and Betis. Here's how the league is shaping up.

Fiorentina was dispatched 4-2 very stressfully. Up next is OGC Nice. We're lucky we didn't draw Chelsea, the only team I see us losing to in this tournament. In the semis of the cup, we demolished Lommel 12-0 on aggregate.

In our CL group consisting of Aston Villa, Real Madrid, and RB Leipzig, we managed to finish 3rd and we have drawn Fiorentina in the UEL first knockout round, and I think this is a competition we can win. In last year's CL Final, it was Liverpool and City, and Liverpool won, to make it 7. Our newest signing. And in the league we're top as of this moment, and we're into the SF of the cup.

What is the (ILL) tag?

We didn't need another LB, but he's too good to pass up on. 21m.

Our last signing of the window.

Plus these three lads who join in the next 2 windows.

We've made a ton of signings of talented 15 and 16 year olds by scouring youth intakes. First up the senior squad players. Arda looks like he could be an immense AP(A) on the left hand side, Fifa 13 legend Stephan El Shaarawy. A substitute striker for the season. A potential star for our midfield. A starter for this season + will be a huge mentor around the club. An incredible GK for our level. Now for the prospects. Looks like he could hold down our left back position for a decade or two. My scouts were much higher on him than my coaches are, but he could become something. This lad is on another level, he looks like he could be incredible. Was really excited until I saw his potential. Ditto. And ditto again.

10-1 yikes

And our next opponent, our run ends here.

Demolition.

We sign the legendary Pepe, for 1.4m from Porto. As well as Rosas for 5m. And we drew Leverkusen in the Round of 16 in the CL.

Decent start to life, and we're through in the CL!
