To clarify my situation, the League opponent is the first time I've encountered him, he is an active player, he attended match - he has 21 League trophies, 5 Cup, 6 CL and 1 Super Cup, finished 3rd and won Cup last season; and the CL opponent is an very active player and a former in-game friend, he has 17 League trophies, 4 Cup, 3 CL and 2 Super Cup and finished 3rd last season - we have locked horns many times over the last 20 or so seasons, but this is the first time I've seen him act this way - he probably saw me on the League roster and thought that I'm not going to be beaten by him again...
