Red on the pitch, Green off it.
It isn't just Kane, Díaz, and Olise bagging goals for @FCBayern. Ahead of #FCBPSG, here's a few green targets they've smashed:
☀️ 1,050 new solar panels
♨️ 19 heat pumps reducing CO₂ by ~40%
🔌 New e-bus charging points

Football is a travelling spectacle and its biggest stars are its most efficient vehicles, which makes Lionel Messi an important case.

Some news: I've written a book about how football has evolved over the last fifteen years or so.
It's called The Spectre of Pep: How Guardiola haunts modern football tactics.
It's out in August and you can pre-order it right now from this link: geni.us/TheSpectreOfPep

Tragic news. Alex was a really lovey bloke.
Wir trauern um unseren ehemaligen Torhüter Alexander Manninger, der tragisch bei einem Verkehrsunfall verunglückt ist. Unsere Gedanken sind bei seiner Familie und seinen Freunden. Ruhe in Frieden, Alexander. 🕊️

Would you take 100k right now or would you take 5 million but you have to eat 10 Oreo packs (36 oreos in a pack) within 24 hours to get that 5 million? You fail, you walk away with nothing.
