When money and modern football is taking over everywhere, it's a source of pride to know that in Swedish football we have Membership Democracy - meaning no one can buy the club but we are all in it together. Worked on this one with pride, full episode:
Membership Democracy - This is What Makes Us Different. The Europa Show visited Malmö to experience what it truly means when the members own the club. 📺 Watch the full episode on MFF Play:

Do we cry or laugh or both at this? . Cristobal got sent off with a direct red. VAR overturns it, they have to go get him from the dressingroom. He comes back out, goes head to head with Stuani, gets his second yellow and sent off again 😂.

It's quite crazy when you think about what Guardiola did with Sergio Busquets. He benched Yaya Touré, to in LaLiga start a 20-year-old who had not played any senior football at all, except for one season in the Spanish FOURTH division. Who even think of doing that?

For context: Imanol has been a Real Sociedad fan all his life, played in the youth teams and first team, coached the youth teams and now led the club to their first trophy in 34 years. He asked to be excused and for a moment leave the "coach mode" to enter the "supporter mode".
