City got caught red-handed and now every club with ambition is circling like sharks, which is exactly what happens when you think you're too big to follow the rules. • Potter's attempt at humor about City's £900m accounting fantasy landed about as well as a back pass to the goalkeeper, and Gyokeres' smirk said what everyone was thinking. • France's collapse to ten men made Italy's draw look like a heist, which it wasn't—the Azzurri were simply the better side and Zidane's homecoming turned into a masterclass in frustration. • Real Madrid sending UEFA a dossier on Barcelona is peak competitive paranoia, but at least they're being honest about wanting their rivals investigated instead of pretending they're just concerned about the integrity of the sport. • Emery's warning that other clubs will exploit City's vulnerability during their appeal process isn't a bombshell—it's just stating the obvious fact that chaos is coming to the Premier League.
