So i gave the second string a run out and it showed! We conceded an own goal and then Calum Wilson went on a rampage! I looked into buying him after this result as a backup striker as he always scored against us but hes on £110k a week at Bournemouth!!!

Leeds Win the Champions League!!!

It was a pretty lucky result to be honest, we didnt look like winning it til Ramos got sent off but we were all over them after that.

Right guys hoping to post up a few updates this weekend and thought i would let you in on my current goals for the save now we are European Champions.

1 - Mario Balotelli to beat Peter Lorimer's All Time Leed's League Goalscoring record - Lorimer's record is 168 goals whilst Balotelli has 109 at the age of 31.

2 - This one is going to be a lot harder, Sam Byram to break Jack Charlton's league appearance record - Charlton made 629 appearances whilst Byram has 337, he has 292 games to play i think which is roughly every game for the next 7 seasons and then some.

3 - Win the FA Cup and League Cup - Those of you who have been following this will know we have been terrible in the domestic cups! I really want to change that but will not sacrifice the league or Europe for it.

So these are the 3 main aims that i hope will keep me interested in this save over the next 10 years

Well our season in review shows how poor we are in Domestic Cup Competitions compared to Europe and the League but maybe losing in the 3rd rnd of both the League Cup and the FA Cup actually helped us in the League as we had more rest that other Title rivals.

Well who is your new Number 1 goalkeeper?

Wow what a season! Oliver definitely turned out to be a HUGE signing! Two huge trophies to add to Leeds' cabinet as well congratulations

Thanks mate, hopefully Oliver can stay in the AMC role and make it his own as last year it was all about Pastore in the same position and the year before Barkley!

Well who is your new Number 1 goalkeeper?

All shall be revealed in the next update

Community Shield
Leeds V Chelsea

View attachment 170537

Centre Back Vallejo grabs the first goal around 20 minutes in before Ferati sealed the win late on and we pick up our first Community Shield.

Blackburn V Leeds

View attachment 170536

Well it was certainly an entertaining first game back! Barkley missed a penalty before they had a player sent off, We then got our first goal through Odegaard before Goretzka got sent off early in the second half of his Premier League debut, Blackburn equalized shortly afterwards but Odegaard managed a moment of magic late on to seal an unlikely victory.

European Super Cup
Leeds v Leverkusen

View attachment 170535

Trophy Cabinet is certainly filling up now as we pick up the Super Cup, Leverkusen actually took the lead before Barkley equalized through a penalty early in the second half. My subs were the real saviours though as we went into extra time both Kostic and Pastore got goals to seal the win.

Over 60,000 Fans expected for a first game at the City of Manchester Stadium

View attachment 170534

Leeds v Arsenal

View attachment 170533

We come from behind to beat Arsenal 2-1 with Ferati and Kostic getting our goals for a brilliant result to start life at our Temporary Stadium

Leeds V Nottm Forest

View attachment 170531

A much easier time of it in this game with a 3-0 win thanks to our attacking trio, Nottm Forest had a mere 32% of the possession.

A pretty easy Champions League group sees us get Napoli and Porto along with Panathinaikos

View attachment 170529

Liverpool V Leeds

View attachment 170527

A pretty even game against Liverpool one of our main bogey teams but we have been getting the better of them recently, Byram netted just a couple of minutes into the game before Icardi went and missed a penalty! Firmino did grab the equalize not much later.

I decided to bring in a few Leeds Legends to fill out our backroom staff and here is who has joined so far

Leeds V Newcastle

View attachment 169705

Balotelli has a poor game and it takes Ferati coming off the bench to impact the game to gain us all 3 points. Im wondering if my attempts at breaking some of these records may hinder my teams overall performances?!? Balotelli is getting on a bit now and not what he used to be plus i could replace my full backs with much better options but i like the fact they have been with me since the beginning.

Champions League Groups
Leeds V Napoli

View attachment 169704

So right after saying that, one of our Full Backs puts in a man of the match performance and nets the only goal of the game in a poor attacking display as we have a shed load of chances and our attackers miss most of them.

Man Utd V Leeds

View attachment 169701

Charlie Taylor was all over this game yet again fired up by my skepticism! The strikers were poor yet again though and im wondering if Balotelli is the right man to lead our line for the rest of the season let alone the next 3 or 4. It took another golden oldie in the form of Pastore to break the deadlock though late on and gain us the 3 points against one of our big rivals.

Capital One Cup 3rd Rnd
Liverpool V Leeds

View attachment 169700

Bernard nets first before Coutinho equalizes early in the second half in a fairly even contest, it took a late penalty to decide the tie though with former Liverpool player Balotelli coming off the bench to slot home the winning penalty.

We always get the tough draws in the Cup and this is no different after beating Liverpool in the last round we face Arsenal in the next round

View attachment 169699

Leeds v Chelsea

View attachment 169698

So we go from 1-0 up to 2-1 down to just about scraping a point after Balotelli came off the bench to grab an equalizer with Ferati having another poor game upfront, its like our strikers can only play well coming off the bench.

Champions League Groups
Porto V Leeds

View attachment 169697

Porto are ahead in this match for most of it after netting just 14 minutes into the tie but we turned the game on its head late on after Ferati was hauled off and replaced by Balotelli with Bernard netting twice before Balotelli grabbed a third.

Southampton V Leeds

View attachment 169462

Balotelli netted twice in the space of 1 minute pretty early on in the game but their wingers got them back into it with 2 goals before half time. Ageing AMC Pastore came off the bench yet again to net a winner on the hour mark.

Leeds V Bournemouth

View attachment 169461

Baker nets in the opening minute with Bournemouth's only shot of the game before we totally dominated them possession wise and with chances but still only managed to get an equalize through Odegaard but couldnt improve on that

Champions League Groups
Leeds V Panathinaikos

View attachment 169460

Another dominant performance but at least this time round we netted 4 goals! We were 1-0 up early on but it didnt take long for us to give them a goal back from an own goal.
We then turned it up a gear with our attacking midfield trio each getting a goal before they got one back.

Ipswich V Leeds

View attachment 169459

Balotelli had another poor game but we had my Germans to thank for the 3 points with Sule and Goretzka both getting goals before Ipswich tried to make a comeback in the second half but it amounted to little after the goal was scored.
