UEFA Champions League

I’m telling you a 4-2 Set loss to Barcelona in a Champions League final at the Emirates with 39 year old Lewandowski about to retire scoring ‘the final shot’ in the 93rd minute to clinch the CL while Barcelona celebrate on top of the Arsenal logo painted in the middle of the pitch would make my soul leave my body as I depart from the world of men, permanently.

Not surprised at all.

Btw Messi’s highest rated season 18/19?? Absolutely no way.

I can remember the first leg versus Liverpool. He was fucking incredible that night.

Ah but what about a Game 7 when 55 year old player/coach Granit Xhaka coming back from his red card in Game 1 of the series scores a brace for Arsenal to defeat Barcelona?

I am surprised by Juninho being so high.
I guess the amount of games worked in his favour.

Ronaldo fanboys rattled to see him in 4th :joy:

He was superb.

I loved him. He was the main man in that big Lyon team. Hate it when they only talk about his free kicks, he was a top player even withouth those. Was always frustrated why he wasn’t more in the NT.

But his rating does seem a bit inflated. Surely he’s not the second best CL player in the last 20 years, only behind Messi.

Time to post this again when Juninho is mentioned

Yep. Free kicks were indeed out of this world.

Plus, he scored a few against prime, or close to prime, Kahn, Casillas, Valdes etc, from ridiculous positions and made them look like kids. We will probably never see anything like that again.
