Man City confirm Champions League squad: Semenyo and Guehi in, summer signing out
Manchester City have added new signings Marc Guehi and Antoine Semenyo to their Champions League knockout squad, though registration limits forced the exclusion of summer arrival Sverre Nypan.
Manchester City have finalized their Champions League squad for the knockout stages, integrating January signings Antoine Semenyo and Marc Guehi.
To accommodate the newcomers, Pep Guardiola removed Oscar Bobb and Stefan Ortega following their respective departures to Fulham and Nottingham Forest.
Because City only have two homegrown players, their List A roster is restricted to a maximum of 23 players for the upcoming rounds.
Despite returning from a loan spell at Middlesbrough, summer signing Sverre Nypan was excluded from the European list.
UEFA’s strict registration rules prevent the 19-year-old from qualifying as an Under-21 List B player, as he has not been with the club for three years.
City, who finished eighth in the initial table, will face the winner of either the Benfica-Real Madrid or Inter-Bodo matches.

Arsenal forced into road trip to Leeds after fog grounds flight
Arsenal’s travel plans for their match against Leeds United were derailed by heavy fog, forcing the Premier League leaders to undertake a 200-mile coach journey to Yorkshire.
Arsenal’s preparations for Saturday’s clash at Leeds United suffered a major setback after thick fog forced the squad to abandon their flight.
The title-chasers were left with no choice but to endure a lengthy road trip via the M1 instead of a quick hop to Leeds-Bradford Airport.
Despite the disruption, Mikel Arteta remains focused on his team’s performance following a recent dip in form.
The manager emphasized the need for his players to maintain their self-belief during this challenging period.
Arteta addressed the squad’s mindset, stating: “But I think my role is to bring optimism and reality of where we are… We are doing so many things so well and let’s focus mainly on that.”
The Gunners currently hold a four-point lead at the top of the table.

Premier League powerhouses slipped off the money league podium as Clasico rivals take lead
The latest Deloitte Football Money League report has landed, and while the numbers are larger than ever, the optics have shifted significantly for the English top flight.
For the first time in the report’s 29-year history, the Premier League—often touted as an untouchable financial juggernaut—has failed to place a single club in the global top four.
Instead, the traditional Spanish “Superpowers” have reclaimed the throne, proving that commercial prestige and historical brand power still carry immense weight in the post-broadcast era.
The Spanish Resurgence
Real Madrid continues to operate in a stratosphere of its own. For the 15th time in 21 seasons, Los Blancos topped the list, generating a staggering £975 million ($1.309bn) during the 2024-25 campaign.
Their arch-rivals, Barcelona, staged a remarkable climb from sixth to second, posting revenues of £819 million.
However, Deloitte is quick to point out that “High revenues don’t automatically equal profits.”
Barcelona serves as a cautionary tale; despite their silver-medal finish in income, they recorded a £7 million pre-tax deficit.
Their figures were also padded by £60 million in one-off sales of personal seat licenses at the renovated Camp Nou—revenue that Deloitte notes “can’t be repeated for three decades.”
The Commercial Shift
For decades, the Premier League’s dominance was fueled by astronomical domestic TV deals. But the tide is turning.
For the third consecutive year, commercial income has outpaced broadcast revenue as the primary growth engine for elite clubs.
Real Madrid led this sector with £499 million, followed by Barcelona at £438 million.
In contrast, even the wealthiest English clubs struggled to keep pace with the Spanish giants’ marketing machines.
Liverpool became only the second English club to break the £700 million revenue barrier, yet their record-breaking year was only enough to secure fifth place globally.
The English “Stagnation”
While the Premier League still dominates the top 20 by volume, individual growth at the very top has slowed.
Manchester United, once the undisputed kings of the Money League, tumbled to eighth place. As Chris Weatherspoon notes, United’s growth has been “glacial in recent years, allowing peers to overtake them.”
Stadium issues are also beginning to bite. While Arsenal saw a £50 million surge in matchday income over two seasons thanks to the Emirates, other giants are stalling.
Manchester City, Newcastle, and West Ham all saw matchday revenues dip, hampered by expansion delays or stadium uncertainty.
Chelsea, meanwhile, sits in a peculiar spot; despite their complex multi-club ownership model and the influx of cash from the expanded FIFA Club World Cup, their matchday takings remained only 10th overall.
Wages and the “Squad Cost” Era
Interestingly, the report suggests that elite clubs are finally beginning to rein in their spending. The combined wages-to-revenue ratio for the top clubs dropped to 55.5%. This shift is largely attributed to UEFA’s stringent new squad cost rules.
However, the outliers remain in England. Of the clubs that saw their wage-to-revenue ratio increase, all were Premier League teams.
Paris Saint-Germain remains the biggest spender on salaries, winning their first Champions League title with the most expensive squad in the world, even after slashing £120 million from their payroll.
Liverpool also joined the “£400m club,” seeing their wage bill hit £421 million during their title-winning season.
The “On-Pitch” Penalty
Ultimately, Deloitte’s lead partner Tim Bridge emphasizes that “On-pitch performance remains a primary driver for clubs to progress to the upper echelons of the ranking.”
The expanded Champions League and the FIFA Club World Cup provided massive windfalls for those successful enough to participate.
Aston Villa’s 42% revenue jump was almost entirely dependent on their European venture, highlighting a financial vulnerability should they fail to qualify consistently.
The 2024-25 report serves as a wake-up call for the Premier League. While the English top flight remains the wealthiest league collectively, the individual summits of European football are once again being occupied by the historical giants of Madrid, Barcelona, and Munich.
Revenue may be hitting record highs—surpassing £10 billion for the top 20 combined—but as the report concludes, high income remains “only part of the tale.”

Wrexham stuns Forest in historic FA Cup giant-killing
Wrexham pulled off a dramatic FA Cup giant-killing against Nottingham Forest in front of owner Ryan Reynolds, while heavy snow in Germany forced the postponement of several Bundesliga fixtures.
Wrexham AFC secured a historic FA Cup upset on Friday, defeating Premier League side Nottingham Forest 4-3 on penalties after a thrilling 3-3 draw.
Playing in front of co-owner Ryan Reynolds, the League One side led 3-1 before a late brace from Callum Hudson-Odoi forced extra time.
Manager Phil Parkinson hailed the victory as “special,” marking the first time the club has eliminated top-tier opposition in the competition in 26 years.
The match at STōK Cae Ras saw Wrexham display immense resilience against their top-flight opponents.
After Forest clawed back to level the score in the 89th minute, goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo became the hero by saving two penalties in the shootout.
Parkinson praised his squad’s character, noting, “after the Christmas period to go into extra time against a Premier League team is one almighty effort, from both sides, but from us in particular.”
Meanwhile, severe winter weather disrupted European football as heavy snow forced the postponement of two Bundesliga matches in Germany.
St. Pauli’s clash with RB Leipzig and Werder Bremen’s game against Hoffenheim were called off due to safety concerns regarding stadium roofs and spectator travel.
German officials cited the need to “ease the burden on emergency services” as transport networks across northern and eastern Germany struggled under significant snowdrifts and ice.
