It's always nice to see PSG fail.

Newcastle is also owned by oil money. Isn’t it?
Manchester City, Chelsea, Sheffield... There are many more clubs with sketchy as fuck owners (or previous owners) who made their money exploiting other human beings. I'm glad there are some leagues with actual rules against these sort of things but in France and especially England it's a free for all where I'm pretty sure Osama Bin Laden and Stalin could have co-owned Everton or something as long as they promised to invest enough (blood) money.
Yes, they are. So this isn't the great feeling I have annually when PSG fails in the CL. I will say that Newcastle is run incredibly well now with a good plan for identifying talent that matches their play and without splashing a TON of money. That isn't to say half the players they bought would have gone there without that oil money, or that they could have spent that money without it being from an oil state; but they have spent much less than PSG or City.
Yeah most fanbases are happy when it's them getting the oil money, I don't mind that part honestly.
