In the English League Cup this season, Bradford City got to the final. At the time, they were a League 2 club (They got promoted today). League 2 is the 4th tier of English football. They beat Wigan Athletic. They beat Arsenal. They beat Aston Villa twice. All Premier League teams. They eventually lost in the final to Swansea City.
This is relevant to this conversation because Bradford City as a team cost £7,500. The team that beat Arsenal cost £7,500 to put together. Arsenals team cost £66,800,000 to put together.
Football is a funny old game, the cost of a team isnt everything. If the players are up for the challenge, they can beat anyone.
