- In light of Manchester City's dramatic recent defeat to Real Madrid in the semi finals of the UEFA Champions League, HITC Sevens takes a look at a number of football clubs who appear to be cursed in a single competition.

Bayer Leverkusen players Ballack and Ramelow not only went second place in DFB Pokal, Bundesliga and UCL, but also at the WC 2002, as they reached the final with Germany and lost to Brazil. So in one summer, they got four runners up placements.
Yeah, this is exactly what I was thinking of. Especially Michael Ballack.
@@5thdawg917 poor guy. Story of his career. I remember how he collapsed when Terry missed his penalty in the CL final after he made his. And even with the National team: he finished with 98 caps. Always so close to glory
Ballack also lost the League Cup final in 2008, the UCL final, finished 2nd in the PL, and lost the Euro 2008 final with Germany. Feel for him really, he deserved better than this
@@rohithraman6488 maybe HE'S the problem (kidding)
@@AbbasAdejonwo that is technically not too much of a reach as he seems to be the common denominator.
As a Benfica fan, losing 5 Champions League finals and 3 Europa League finals consecutive is painful to remember 😓🤦
Surely you should win a European competition nowadays, their are 3 different comps.
@@GCAbleism158 There were always 3 different competitions. Until recently when The European Cup Winners Cup was Vaporised.
Yeah but you're the peoples club and the biggest in Portugal. It's not a matter of if you will, but when. Keep hold of Darwin at all costs he's a total stud and gave us fits.
Guttmann’s curse is yet to over for Benfica
I'm currently attempting to win the UCL with Benfica in FM and i swear the curse exists there too, lost 5 UCL Finals in a row, and then went out in the Semi-Finals. I swear the game is just laughing at me.
Based on this I'd assume Hans-Jörg Butt is a key figure in multiple curses. Not only was he part of the 2nd place treble Leverkusen (and did it again with Bayern Munich in 2012) but he also scored goals against Juventus in the UCL for 3 different clubs
:D
> Bayer Munich
Lmao, nice joke
@@dozenazer1811 thanks for telling me about a typo, fixed it
U can't talk about a cursed team in the champions league and not talk about Atletico de Madrid. 3 finals were lost in the worst of conditions. At least Juve and Benfica won the title. Atletico always exists in the cruelest ways possible
Yes, this is the comment I was searching for. El Pupas curse still going on strong.
next year we got it, with an edinson cavani masterclass
I expected Atleti in the video as well. Two champions league finals (1976? & 2014) where they led the game until last minute goals before losing in extra minutes/game. And one (2016) losing on penalty. At least, Atletico has done well in Europa League finals and UEFA Supercup.
At Spurs, we even bottle curses
"I was offered the chance to manage a football team in Sheffield and they asked how flexible I was. I said, 'I can't do Wednesday'" ~ Tim Vine
The speed in which alfie uploads is insane. Always informative and funny. Great Job!
Internacional in the brazilian league.
Their last title was in 1979, then they were runners up 4 times, 3 with pretty cruel circumstances:
2005 - 11 league games were replayed because of suspicions of referee manipulation. Corinthians got 4 extra points from the replayed matches, Inter got 0, and Corinthians finished 3 points ahead
2009 - last round had eventually champions flamengo facing inter's greatest rival gremio. Big surprise, gremio lost and flamengo finished 2 points ahead of Inter. A draw would have given Inter the title
2020 - Inter needed a simple win on their last match. Tied 0x0 at home with Corinthians, having put 3 balls in the net, none of which counted. The last one being an offside in the last minute of the game.
As a fan of Bahia, I'm glad for Colorado's curse being in full effect in 1988 😆
But hey, Atlético Mineiro managed to break their curse last year and it was even worse than Inter's. Their previous Brasileirão title was in 1971, being runner-ups five times since. Hopefully Inter won't take long to be national champions again.
This reminds me of Arsenal CL run and the way we always met Bayern or Barca. There's only so many times u can get trashed by the same team and still believe u can get anything out of each new meeting. Especially when it's the same manager(Arsene) telling u similar things to that made no difference in all the other losses
Idea for a part 2 if there ever is one: New England Revolution in MLS Cup. They have reached the final 5 times, including 3 in a row from 2005-2007, and lost all of them (all but one going to either extra time or penalties). They are also the only team to have reached the final multiple times without ever winning it.
Arsenal getting Bayern/Barcelona for 5 years in a row isn’t a curse but is surely insane.
Similar to the misfortunes that a three wheeler reliant regal had when Mr.Bean is on the road
@@samuelyee4017 😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
At that point it sounds rigged/scripted. Once or twice over five years is unavoidable but for five years in a row it sounds very suspicious.
It iS rIGgEddDdd 🥴
Benfica's European competition curse is my favourite, correct me if I'm wrong but didn't a former manager curse them by saying they wouldn't win a European competition for 100 years and they still haven't.
Edit: Ok so their U19 squad won the 21/22 UEFA Youth League fair enough
You're right I believe
i hope this title be the end of the curse 😅
Yes, as explained in the video. And another video of Alfie.
No cares about u19 trophys. They don't count
I mean at least they won the uefa youth league vs salzburg
i know leverkusen gets a lot of slack, but schalke is more cursed in the bundesliga. 7 runners up finishes (vs 5 for leverkusen) with no titles. 2001 was particularly brutal when the fans were celebrating the “title” on the pitch before bayern scored at the death to take it
And that was the last game at their old stadium
You mentioned it but Hibs in the scottish cup, 114 years without winning generations lived and died without seeing hibs win that until 2016, was on the pitch of hampden myself
Pedantic point: Uruguay, technically, didn't reach 2 WC finals. The 1950 tournament did not have a final.
It didn't even have any knockout stages.
It had a final group stage - engineered by the Brazilian FA to increase the number of games played at the newly and expensively renovated Maracana, so that the renovation costs could be recouped - where, by chance, everything boiled down to the "last" match between Brazil and Uruguay.
Brazil needed only a draw to win the tournament in points, while Uruguay had to win.
Brazil, unbelievably, lost after leading in the match till halftime (please check).
But, it wasn't a "final" in the sense that we have finals, i.e., one team has to win and the other has to lose
I remember how it seemed like Chelsea were cursed in the Champions League from 2004-2011. Then in 2012 when it never seemed like they would win it that year they did.
So maybe Man City could win it when they no longer have the tag of favourites
@@rohithraman6488 now that they’re buying haaland everyone will say they’re favourites. Just cursing them further
I guess Chelsea's curse now is the Premier League. It's been 5 years since they won it and they were close this year. After December everything went wrong
I atually believe the Benfica UCL curse is real in FM. Got to 5 Finals in a row now, dominating my way to the finals to just lose atleast 2-0 in every final.
Please see the America de Cali club from Colombia, a team which reached three consecutive Copa Libertadores finals in the 80s, losing the last of the three in the most dramatic possible way, at the minute 29 of the extra time of the third match. That has been related to a so-called curse from an old man in the 60s.
Spurs fans: we’re cursed
Arsenal fans: Spurs is just bad
Still though, won a proper European tournament haven't we 😉
If Liverpool didn't win 2019-20 Premier League, they would have made it into this video.
Video Idea: Market value of every balon d'or winner
Benfica Fan here.. 😔 we cursed not just on the pitch. We have a Karmic Curse that consumes the Club in all aspects.
Hopefully "Il Maestro" Rui Costa will lead the club back to former Glory.
Take heed Man U. Fans, I warn you of the importance of not having "money" oriented owners... (You should be Helping Maguire become better, not destroy the lad)
Take a good look at Liverpool and Bayer Munich and Real Madrid. Its about results and desire to win and not about Finances.
Liverpool, Bayern and Real are rich. Finances help A LOT. Look at Italian clubs (AC Milan for exemple). Desire to win is not enough. Of course money only is also not enough (Man City and PSG). You need both.
“Leverkusen may be the most cursed team in world football.” No. Has to be Tottenham and you all know it
Tottenham has never been in all finals possible in one season just to lose every single one, one after the other.
Leverkusen is cursed, spurs are shit there is a slight difference
Tottenham aren’t cursed they’re shit
@@stud105 he is not wrong tough
What? Spurs have never reached every possible final in a single season, only to lose every one and finish second in the league after losing a decent point advantage over second place.
São Paulo and the brazilian cup. Even small clubs like Santo André, Paulista de Jundiaí and Juventude have and São Paulo don't. one of the two "big 12" clubs who haven't won yet, along Botafogo
For a club that is now considered one of England's "big 6", Tottenham's trophy cabinet sure is quite poor as of the last 3 decades.
Big 6 my ass... Only English medias consider Tottenham as something relevant, they claim Tottenham is part of a "Big 6" only to support their "most competitive league" claim... but they were never close to be title challengers.
A small newspaper, in Ohio During 70’s or 80’s, referred to the last 4 teams in college basketball as the Final Four. That stuck and made sense, and now considered the ultimate goal to make it there, and of course win.
(UEFA now wanting to make CL Semi’s & Final , final 4, into a week long event)
No idea who 1st said “ Big 6 “ , and its more a reference to the money they have. Obviously Spurs don’t spend like the others (despite lot of revenue from matches & events at stadium alone, are they still the most expensive tickets in PL ? )but the term stuck nonetheless!
They could have won with mourinho but they sacked him right before the final. I think they really hate trophies 😃
The last trophy spurs won was the League cup in 2008 since then Wigan won the fa cup, Birmingham city won the League cup and Leicester city won both the premier league and the fa cup
@@dannyplatt6161
The League cup is not even a real trophy.
Meanwhile Buffon & Zlatan getting cursed in champions league..
A good case could be made for Aris Thessaloniki who made the greek cup final thirteen times in his history but only won it once having been always one of the top 5 teams in greek football
Could've mentioned America de Cali and Deportivo Cali in the Libertadores. 0-6 combined record in the final for the city rivals.
Totenham:
Every competition
Perth Glory and the A-League Crown, never won the competition in its existence (not through lack of effort) and it's only league title was back in the NSL days in the mid 90s
As a Chelsea fan after we failed to win the UCL from 2003-2011 I thought we were cursed in that competition, then we won it the next year
Mourinho was truly special back then.
@@wooldooriansokbatus5222 It was Di Matteo who won Chelsea the champions league
@@blerimdzmaeli3564 yes... but who brought the mentality to win?
Money money money...
@@EthanBSide How many Champions Leagues have Man Utd won after spending a billion post Fergie let me ask you?
If you’re interested in another interesting curse, I highly recommend you to do some research about Club Sport Cartaginés from Costa Rica (it includes drunken players in church and a buried doll)
Congrats on catching up with HITC sport! Knowledge wins over pre pubescent humour
Bro have you seen HITC sport after Irish guy it’s actually soo dead

@@moonlight_-.975 the effects are all off and just in general it is a shell
Bro your videos are underrated, very good content right here
This is a really good video. I enjoyed it. I did not know about Mali's curse in AFCON. 🇲🇱 also seemed cursed in 2022 WC Qualifying, losing 1-0 on aggregate to Tunisia in the final round of African WC qualifying thanks to a horrific own-goal at home.
If you're looking for cursed teams, I present to you Uzbekistan. If the AFC had the proposed 2026 WC allotment of 8 teams in 2002, 🇺🇿 would have likely qualified for every single WC from 2002 through 2018, except for the 2010 edition. Instead, as of 2022, they have yet to qualify for a WC.
Aldershot Town in the FA cup. Always bow out at the first time of asking, and usually against an amateur team nobody has ever heard of
And Wales in the World Cup. So close to qualifying, so often. So much so that I stopped watching their qualifying games as I couldn't take it anymore.
I'd have included Scotland's World Cup group stage curse as well, but they've never made it past the group stages in the Euros either. The 1978 World Cup was the first one I remember watching. I watched the game between Netherlands and Scotland and Archie Gemmill's goal. I was staying at my uncle's and he reckoned that the Dutch let him score.
I wasn't around that time since I was born in 1999 but I still know that Gemmil's goal really clear, thanks to the film Trainspotting lol
At least Wales have broken the curse. I remember Scotland in Italia 90 losing to Costa Rica. A draw would have seen them through. Also Euro 96 they were minutes from the QF but England let Kliuvert score a meaningless consolation goal to put them through instead.
I've always wondered how does the pedigree of a club in a certain competition effect the current players of that club on the pitch? Why are Man City and Juventus better in the League than the UCL? Why are Liverpool and AC Milan better in the UCL than the League? Why can't Leverkusen, Dortmund, Napoli, Roma, Lazio and Spurs win a title to save their lives?
AC Milan had a team to not lose (incredible defense: Maldini, Nesta, Dessailly, etc...) so it's easier to not be knockout in a competition like the CL. However in the league, when you don't lose but also don't win you only get 1 point. Have a team to win is better suited to the league than having a team to not lose (for exemple if you play 4 games, win 2 and lose 2 you get 6 points so it's still better than drawing 4 times and getting 4 points).
Leverkusen, Dortmund, Roma, Spurs, etc... are eternal second rank teams. They never win the title because there is always a bigger team to take the title from them. For exemple when Inter and Milan were doing bad in the 2010s, there was still Juventus to take the title to Roma or Naples. Now that Juventus is doing bad, there are Inter or Milan that are coming back to take the title.
My team Kerala Blasters cursed in Indian super league, reached 3 finals and lost three of them 😭😭😭😭😭
True
For once a negative list Spurs are overqualified for
I laughed at that comment but then I remember Son and I like Son. So I felt bad for him..
😅
Spurs gave more jobs to bottles than the entire Premier League.
😂😂😂😂😂😂🌚🌚🌚🌚🌚🌚
@@myownlilbubble Least he won the Asian Games in 2018.
At least individual players have won things, like Lloris with the World Cup and Son with the Asian Games, both in 2018.
The Benfica curse... I love it 😂
alfie dropping hints hes gonna be leaving hitc soon like the irish guy did, and i hope he does, alfie deserves all the revenue from his hard work, not just a small percentage or however his deal with hitc works out, i have subbed already though, cant be missing my daily dose of alfie excellent football brain
Right behind you, after he plugged his channel on the last video I subbed asap
What’s his account?
But Mexico aren’t actually good enough to reach quarters so it is not really a curse it is expected
Alfie please do 7 clubs that broke their ‘curses’ eg hibs in league cup , Preston in play offs etc PRETTY PLEASE
Wouldn't it be nice to be cursed not to win the champions league every season, I wish my club had those problems
Honestly seems like both Spurs and Leverkusen have some voodoo on them in almost all competitions they've participated in, at least in recent history.
Inter’s supporters used a Pinocchio tifo to mock Juventus’ failure to win UCL since 1996.
I bet that Liverpool supporters won’t use that kind of tifo to mock Man City
Fun fact on the Dutch in the 1978 final: despite the Elftal losing the game their coach, the Austrian Ernst Happel, was nicknamed "Wödmasta" (world champion in Austrian dialect) in his home country.
He won the Intercontinental Cup with Feyenoord in 1970, so that genuinely makes him a Wödmasta.
True, plus he was the first coach to win the European Cup with teams from two different countries.
Everton in the Football League cup, never won it despite the other original " big five" winning dozens of them . Two losing finals, and not a sniff in the other years despite being involved since the 60s. Considering we're still the 4th in the list of domestic trophies with 9 league titles and 5 FA cups, our league cup record is appalling.
Yep I was expecting that. As a red it's quite funny though to see Everton just bottle the league cup every season.
Whenever mentioning South Korea's 2002 run, always add "Cheated their way into the Semi Finals".
True. They especially cheated against Italy and Spain.
How Liverpool and the premier league isn’t up here is criminal. 30 years, Macheda goal and never seen again, Gerard’s slip, 97 points and then when they finally win it, there’s a pandemic and the fans couldn’t even celebrate. That is much more cursed than at least 3 of the teams on this list.
Wow, Liverpool has a chance to win a historic quadruple this season and you'll still find a way to cry for pity.
Uruguay lost the WCF in 1930.
Technically, Sheffield United won a play-off in 1893 beating Accrington in a "test match" thus replacing them in the First Division.
Could easily have added Portsmouth and the Play offs as we never make it to the final when we make the play offs.
Make a video on teams than could win a trouble (championship, cup and international competition) but missed all three in last game sporting, Benfica, Leverkusen, etc.
Alfie, please do a video on Trabzonspor and their league win this season + how they're currently fighting to win the turkish Cup too.
They r most likely gonna win the Turkish cup. They alr have a 1 goal advantage against Kayserispor and the other big contenders for the cup has alr been eliminated.
As a Malian I can definitely confirm most of us have pretty much given up on winning the afcon it's just never happening.
Juventus is definitely the cursed one in UCL.
-5 loss in a row in UCL finals;
-they won just one UCL finals in the 90' and all the focus was on the Hysel tragedy;
-they scored just 5 goals in all their 9 Finals played.
8:25 Benfica won Uefa youth league 2 weeks ago but I don't think that counts
just a pat on the back Alfie, well done keep up the great content.
Every single club in the Bundesliga not called FC Bayern Munich seems to be cursed anyway...
Cerro Porteño in Paraguay is “cursed” in the Copa Libertadores, they made the semi finals 4-5 times, always close but never making it past the semi finals. Meanwhile, Olimpia, the former team of Roque Santacruz won the Libertadores Cup 3 teams and played 7 finals, the last one in 2013..
Benfica finally won the first European final since 1962! The UEFA Youth League this year! (we lost 3 finals in the last few years). Also the Bela Guttman quote is often misquoted, some places say it's "never win a European title" others "without me" (he lost a European final with Benfica since), others "30 years" (or an amount lower than 100), others "100 years", basically it's not real, many Benfica fans know that, and it's just our confidence that is shot in European finals since then.
What about Atletico de Madrid in the champions league?! We're always close too winning it especially against Real until the last minutes of the final.
Atletico Madrid will win it sooner or later. it will be nice for a Spanish team to win it outside Barcelona or Real Madrid.
Wishing you well
Ajax fan
I was not ready for that Freddy Adu reference...
If the England national team isn't number 1, just in general, then I'll be shocked!
They are not cursed, they are just not good enough. You're cursed when you always fail while being close to win. England has 1 title for 2 final played. And they also didn't play a lot of semi-finals.
@@gontrandjojo9747 I think the fact we went through our Golden generation and didn't do anything, pretty much every player was world class but they couldn't work together. I suppose it was more club rivalries and not getting on personally rather than a curse. I mean we went out to Iceland FFS, they have a smaller population than the city I live in!
@@OfficialFingazMC
In the 2000s all teams were filled with talents (look at Brazil, France, Italy in the 2000s... and in the late 2000s you can add Spain). England "golden generation" was not above.
been saying for time now that man city is cursed in the ucl it's not just the fact they get knocked out it's how. it's always some kind of miracle for the opposition and it always screws city
Spurs-every tournament apart from the Audi cup
Please make a video on players who were legendary in one football club but lifted major cup(s) at other clubs. Eg : Owen who has cult status at Liverpool but won EPL in Man Utd. Theiry Henry who is a legend for Arsenal but won CL for Barcelona.
Both the Libertadores and Concacaf CL have arguably worse curses than Benfica and Juventus:
América de Cali from Colombia played 4 Libertadores finals (1985, 1986, 1987 and 1996) and lost all of them.
S. V. Robinhood from Surinam played 5 Concacaf CL finals (1972, 1976, 1977, 1982 and 1993) and also lost all of them.
Robinhood got robbed
Day 22: Considering that the last player who played in the miracle of Bern died about 6 months ago, I would really like to see a video about the whole story between Germany and Hungary, especially because it meant so much to at least the German population
South Korea is an interesting one from the AFC... Iran are also kind of in that boat having not winning their 3rd straight since 1976.
If Juventus had won even 1 or 2 of those finals their grand total of Cl wins would look much more respectable for a club of its stature.
Thing is in 1996 their players were doped, and in 1997 Borussia kinda stole it... so it really is a mess
My club, Universitatea Cluj, is cursed in the second division of Romanian football. Doubt it's on this list, though.
Remember that Jurgen Klopp were "cursed" to always lose in the champions league final and Liverpool had never won premier league again for 30 years. Nothing is Impossible!!
You really gotta do the Gutman video
As a suggestion for part 2, you should talk about América de Cali in Copa Libertadores. They're four times runner-ups and never won the competition. The curse seems to extend to the whole Colombian city of Cali, since their rivals Deportivo Cali also lost the two Libertadores finals they played. That's six losses in six games for teams from Cali.
you should do a Rise & Fall of Swansea City video.
Can you do a video on the new chelsea owner, just a quick informative on how he got his wealth and what his plans are for chelsea.
there are two Libertadores examples here America de Cali who went to lose 4 finals 3 in a row in their history making them the club with most finals to never win the libertadores and Cerro Porteño a historic Paraguayan club has reached 6 semi finals and never reached the final of the Libertadores
Now this is my kind of video.
Uzbekistan qualifying for the World Cup could be on here. Beat Bahrain in the first leg of a playoff in 2006 but were ordered to replay the match having complained about a disallowed goal. Then went out on away goals and would have played Trinidad and Tobago in the final playoff. In 2014, they failed to qualify by one goal differential after Iran shocked South Korea on the final day. Also only needed one goal to qualify on the final day of 2018 but a goalless draw against S.Korea and a late Syria rally in Iran saw them eliminated completely. Were eliminated as one of the inferior runners up in this years edition to Saudi
Technically Uruguay did not reach two World Cup Finals. In 1950 Brazil and Uruguay played each other in the last match of a group stage in which Brazil just needed a tie in order to finish 1st and be champions.
Pompey also have a dreadful record in the play offs, we have taken part in 4, made it to the final of none, and have never even won across those 8 games.
Im a benfiquista and that Bella Gutman curse thingy is all off. There's no evidence about the suposed curse, it was a sensationalist piece from A Bola, a portuguese sports newspaper and there's loads of evidences of Gutman supporting Benfica after departing the club (like when he said that we would win in 1963, wishing luck to our players in another final we had in the 60s).
Its time we stop blaming our best and most important coach for our inability to win european silverware.
Great video as always Alfie!
Arsenal are cursed in Europe in general.
Good friend Lalit Thapa,I thought Arsenal have won two UEFA Cup Winners Cup in the past!!!:-D
Suggestion, again: Austria-Hungary national team (full squad). Also 7 referees who are hated in one country.
I've been a City fan my entire life, and that loss to Real Madrid is the worst I've ever experienced. Last year felt like our year and then it was lost to a Chelsea team who had NOTHING going for themselves all game... but to return next year and concede 2 goals in the 90th and 91st minute of the semi-final because we just couldn't pass the ball around and defend the way we've done all season, and THEN to concede a stupid penalty in extra time.... THAT just confirmed my belief that we'll never hoist the Champions League trophy. Pep spent well over €1Bn on the team that was on the field against Real Madrid, and still we couldn't get it done with a 2-goal cushion. Not sure what more needs to be done to win at this point.
I agree with you. I've been a supporter for somewhat half my life and this was the most painful moment of all. I belive our team as a unit is massive but there is no individual character. The only plausible explanation for the defeat is the lack of character and this iron cast modeled psychology of passing the ball to death playing "beautiful football". We needed some character to just gather the team together and keep pushing Madrid away and away from the box. We topple under pressure even against the weakest sides. Need more men like ferna, kompany and dias

I always feel for Leverkusen, so unlucky
And they say only winners are remembered. and yet everyone still remembers Leverkusen missing out on 3 titles in a span of a week. There are some storylines in football or sport that people like and remember.
Do a cursed player or manager video
I would add the Vancouver Whitecaps and the Voyageurs Cup (for the best team in Canada). For most of the competition's history, there were only a handful of professional teams and only 2 other top-level teams. Yet in 13 years, the Whitecaps have only won it once.
Here is a summary of their misery:
- In the 6 years where it is just a tabulation of performance against other Canadian teams, they never win it
- In 2009, thanks to beating Toronto FC 2-0, they are in the driver's seat. Only a 4-goal victory by Toronto FC in the final game will take the trophy from them. After falling behind 1-0, Toronto goes on to win 6-1 and lifts the Voyageurs Cup
- In 2010, they finish a distant second to Toronto FC in the final table
- In 2011, they are leading in the final against Toronto when the game is cancelled due to inclement weather. The game is replayed and they lose 2-1, losing the final series
- In 2012, they lose 2-1 on aggregate to Toronto FC thanks to a late goal
- In 2013, they lead the final twice only for Montreal to tie it. Montreal wins the trophy on away goals
- In 2014, they lose to Toronto on penalties in the semis
- In 2015, THEY FINALLY WIN IT. The curse is over, right?
- In 2016, misery returns when David Ousted and Kendall Waston collide on what should be an easy catch for the goalkeeper. The ball falls to Toronto midfielder Will Johnson who smashes it in with the last kick of the game. Toronto wins the trophy on away goals.
- In 2019, the Whitecaps become the first Canadian giant-killing victim, losing to Cavalry FC from the Canadian Premier League
- In 2022, they repeat the feat, losing to Pacific FC (NOTE: no other Canadian MLS team has lost to a lower level team)
You can also add Chelsea to this list. 3 years straight getting to the FA Cup Final without winning :(
The Africa curse is real 🤣🤣🤣
Alfie the reason i still subscribe 👑
You said Juve's 36 titles are close to being twice as many as Milan and Inter combined? Uh...I don't think the math checks out. Milan and Inter have 37 combined (soon to be 38 combined). They have twice as many as Milan and almost twice as many as Inter, but separately.
I think I didn't know whether to say twice as many as each of them or the same number as both of them, so like an idiot I just said both. My apologies!
Neverkusen are unbelievably cursed. They're more Spursy than Spurs.
