So far I've only heard UEFA was looking into it while sources from Red Bull said otherwise.

The European governing body’s rules state that where two clubs in common ownership qualify for the same competition, the one finishing lower in its league must stand down – in this case meaning Leipzig.

Yeah but apparently Red Bull doesn't technically own RB Salzburg anymore and are 'just' sponsors. They also seem to have stopped having people work at both clubs, precisely so they don't trigger that rule. As far as I can tell UEFA still has to decide

Pretty much this. I think nobody here would be sad if UEFA doesn't allow RB Leipzig to participate in the Champions League, but it's not clear at all how they will decide. And since we live in the worst timeline, my guess is that they will allow RB to play.

What a lovely game up until then though, Lahm has been in mental retirement for too long a stretch of the season and doesnt get subbed because of age.

Jesus gently caress, at least we're more or less safe from relegation unless Hamburg scores 10 and we concede 10 on the final game day.

I think Hamburg's goal difference is even worse. Leverkusen stays in the 1. Bundesliga.

I immediately switched channels in frustration when Schalke scored the 2:1. Imagine my elation when it turned out the goal didn't count :smug:

Yeah, that's what I was saying, GD is something like 23 so some utterly absurd poo poo would have to go down for them to make up that deficit. We're safe to see what happens this coming season. Was also happy to hear, not that there was any doubt, that Korkut is out.

Hamburg and Wolfsburg are going up against each other so Leverkusen can't be relegated anymore.

What was up with that anyway, I didn't get why they disallowed that goal. And yes I want to see Hamburg down.

I guess the linesman saw the ball cross the goal line during the corner kick. The best angle they had on TV didn't really show it though, IMO.

Lucien Favre is apparently going to succeed Tuchel in Dortmund and I'm doing a :psyduck:.

The circumstances with Tuchel falling out of favour are a bit odd but I still rate Favre. Tuchel going to England?

Look!
I think Arsenal might want a good manager if they don't keep Wenger on but I'm not sure if Tuchel could deal with that tbh. If the Everton job becomes available that might be an option? I would much rather see him continue in Dortmund though, hope all the rumours are just hot air. On the other hand there might be a position at Barca soon :wink:

Not sure if Dortmund has the right players for Favre but generally I see him as a better manager than Tuchel. Not sure why he'd quit his job at Nice tough.
