Despite featuring the world’s highest-paid footballer, Carlos Tevez and former Super Eagles striker, Obafemi Martins, big-spending Shanghai Shenhua have been knocked out of the Asian Champions League before it has even begun.
The team, coached by former Sunderland manager, Gustavo Poyet, was beaten by two goals by Australian side, Brisbane Roar, in a play-off.
The match, which was Tevez’s debut, saw his side become the first Chinese Super League team to lose a Champions League play-off in 14 years.
Tevez, who is earning £615,000 per week in China, could do little as his new team were humbled at home by goals from Brandon Borrello and Tommy Oar.
It took just 87 seconds for Brisbane Roar to launch themselves into a surprise lead in Shanghai.
