FAKE?! Here's How the Best 10 Teams Appear in PES 2020 - Released Yesterday
Sep 11, 2019, by Pat
Following up on our post about how Champions League winners Liverpool appear in PES 2020, we wanted to take things a bit further now that the full game is out.
Here's how the best 10 teams in Europe, according to the UEFA rankings, feature in the game.
Real Madrid CF
Real Madrid appear as "Madrid Chamartin B" in the game, which is a new name - previously they were "MD White". For eFootball PES 2020, Konami has updated the fake names, which are a bit more natural now.
Club Atlético de Madrid
A similar case can be observed with Atlético, who are called "Madrid Rosas RB" in PES 2020.
FC Barcelona
Licensed
FC Bayern München
Licensed
Juventus
Licensed
Manchester City FC
Manchester City are "Manchester B" in PES 2020. Their kits don't really resemble the club's current season attire by Puma but they are easily recognizable from afar anyway.
Paris Saint-Germain
Licensed
Liverpool FC
Arsenal FC
Licensed
Manchester United FC
Licensed
In total, just four out of these ten teams are unlicensed in PES, a good quote. This ratio remains largely the same when taking into account the teams further down the ranks.
However, the entire Bundesliga apart from Bayern and Schalke are not in PES at all, not even with fake names. Most of the Premier League and La Liga are unlicensed and feature fake names.
There's also plenty of options available in terms of patches that correct the wrong team names and kits and bring this part of the game up to standard.
In other news, PES 2020 includes almost all European national teams fully licensed.
Let's hear your thoughts in the comments below.
Nike Inter Milan 26-27 Third Kit Leaked - New Image
A new image of the Nike Inter Milan 26-27 third kit has surfaced, confirming the retro-inspired look that pays tribute to the club's iconic 1997-98 third shirt worn during the Ronaldo era.
Adidas Liverpool 26-27 European Training Shirt + Collection Released
Liverpool and Adidas have officially unveiled their all-new European training collection for the 26-27 season. Promoted under the tagline "Made for Europe", the range will be worn by the squad during training sessions and media obligations ahead of Champions League fixtures.
The Adidas Liverpool 26-27 European training collection is built around a crisp white base complemented by vibrant red accents. The iconic Adidas Three Stripes run down the sleeves in red, while the chest displays a monochrome red Liverpool crest enclosed in a shield, alongside matching red Adidas and AXA sponsor branding. Streamlined paneling and high-performance cuts from the latest Adidas Tiro template complete the refined aesthetic.
The range includes authentic short-sleeve training tops, long-sleeve drill tops featuring integrated snood neck collars, and insulated sleeveless puffer vests. The complete Adidas Liverpool 26-27 European training collection is available now through the club's official online store and retail outlets.
Hong Kong 2026 Home Kit Released
Nike and the Football Association of Hong Kong, China have quietly revealed the new Hong Kong 2026 home shirt.
The Nike Hong Kong 2026 home jersey combines two shades of red in a subtle half-and-half design, with a centrally aligned chest layout. The circular HKFA crest is positioned right in the center of the chest, accompanied by a white Nike Swoosh directly beneath it.
First Time in 12 Years: Juventus Bring Back Long-Sleeved Kits on Pitch
Making his Juventus debut in the match against AC Milan, Nick Woltemade was the only Juventus player on the pitch wearing long sleeves. Excluding special-edition kits, the German strike became the first Bianconeri player made this choice since Andrea Pirlo and Claudio Marchisio back in the 13-14 season.
Remarkably, even Cristiano Ronaldo, a long-sleeve icon, never wore one during his time in Turin.
Liverpool Could Use a Text-Only Turkish Airlines Sponsor?
Liverpool have announced that Turkish Airlines will become the club's new shirt sponsor from the 2027-28 season, ending the Reds' 17-year partnership with Standard Chartered.
While early fan concepts have used Turkish Airlines' familiar circular bird logo above the wordmark, a text-only sponsor could also be a realistic option.
The airline previously used a simplified two-line “TURKISH AIRLINES” wordmark on River Plate's shirts between 2019 and 2022, while Turkish clubs such as Galatasaray and Samsunspor have also used streamlined typographic versions of the branding.
A text-only layout could give Liverpool's future Adidas shirts a cleaner, less crowded look. The final sponsor application has yet to be confirmed, with the partnership set to begin in June 2027.
