So, as the spoiler above said, we did it! We won the Serie A!!! We were the best team all season around. Juventus managed to trail us closely at the start of the second half of the season, but they dropped in the final quarter and ended up 3rd. We managed to beat Inter in the Supercoppa in January, winning our 2nd top tier title. We couldn't revalidate our Coppa Italia title though, as Lazio beat us in Semifinals after we had to play with a mixed team due to fatigue. In our first foray into the UEFA Champions League we drew a tough group, alongside Real Madrid, RB Leipzig and Dynamo Kyiv. We ended up topping the group and relegating Real Madrid to the Europa League. Unfortunately we didn't get the luck of the draw and drew Dortmund in the knockouts, who beat us fair and square, after a good draw in Germany and a bad loss at home. Hugo Novoa was on a league of his own. He topped the Serie A in assists and average rating and generated a whopping 39 CCC's on all competitions. Other great performers were Jaime Lawrence, Nikola Iliev, Aled Lane and Nei. In terms of development, I bought two gems in the winter window, George Horia Angel and Matija Devetak, and Lucas Gabriel and Martin Toth came in the summer. We're gonna have a busy summer. We need key improvements to renew ourselves in success while also improving to compete in the UCL. Unfortunately the summer started in a harsh way, as Arsenal came in and paid the MRF of our best player (attributes wise), Niclas Wilkens. Good thing is that those €68M will come in handy during the spending spree to come.

So, not much activity here, sadly. Good save there, jawzy! I just finished my first season with La U, decided to go for them as we IRL are 4 seasons straight dealing with the fear of relegation. I lowered the abilities of a lot of players, to try and make it more realistic and thus had to shed a lot of dead weight during the season. But, the game is fairly easy when you play a big reputation team in a small-ish country and we managed to get a Double in the first season. Won the League super comfortably and the Copa Chile as well, even playing at times with backups/youth players. For next season The Board handed me a big load of cash and the youth intake was pretty good as well. This, plus a lot of IRL youngsters coming into the team and no real interest for my two best players (unlike real life, where Darío Osorio and Lucas Assadi are sought from Europe already) I think if we improve a bit in key positions we'll be good enough to repeat and to give ourselves a good account at Copa Libertadores.

good going though, I dont have as much time as i used to, to get stuck right in. do intend on birmingham or bromley in england though

Yeah maybe to make the game harder. Thing is La U really hasn't lost reputation, we're still one of the three big clubs of chilean football and a semi big side on South America. We're just managed badly from the business end of the club which transfers down onto the management of the team.
