Messi will the best when it’s all said and done hell he’s probably the best now.
He’s the perfect #10, perfect #9 and if he wanted to be perfect #8 etc. When he can no longer play further forward he could drop back into CM and still ooze world class ability like no other.
It’s like he plays with the cheat code in damn near every game, it’s just scandalous how great he is.
I think you’re biased, tbh. I absolutely share your admiration for Ronaldo, he was the closest thing I’ve seen to Messi in terms of just being downright scandalous, but even at his peak I think the most you could say was he matched Messi at his peak.
I’d like to agree, it would make it more palatable, but I think they’ve just always been a class above us. Unless I’m forgetting some examples, which is very possible.
I hate Madrid because they are establishment, Franco loving fascist cunts
Edit: @will24 got there first on the first part of my post lol
Fair play to Barca as I thought Real would win the league easily before the season commenced, hopefully Real don’t win their 4th CL in 5 years though unless it’s at the expense of one of the English clubs.
Judging based on the starting line up, IMO it looked like zidane was scared, a very defensive team and no Isco an no Asensio which means no creativity upfront and modric cannot do everything specially against Barcelona, also it was weird that CR7 was playing upfront as some sort of false 9.
They definitely saw Arsenal as a compatible set up. They could pluck ready-made, technically sound, physically tested and experienced players for their reserves. Mainstays at Arsenal representing decent back up at Barca.
