Firstly, Zidane is overrated; he was very inconsistent but he showed up with moments (eg volley vs Leverkusen) or performances (,eg vs Brazil in 2006) in the biggest games and was very nice to watch almost like a ballerina. These big game contributions are what got him his recognition; the...

When he did touch the ball, he did much more with it than Bellingham. All I saw was sideways passes. That's it. The very few times he tried to do more than that, he lost the ball very easily. His early season exploits infront of goal are earning him his spot otherwise even a 40 year old...

Real Madrid won but again he was anonymous. Again, Musiala was much much better despite a strapped thigh. So what is the hype about? What is he great at? Sideways passes?

Real have some voodoo on the champions league.. Never seen a team have so much fortune in this competition.

Why the obsession with Vinicius? No one has mentioned him at all. Mbappe has had great performances sporadically in the past but currently is not the bpitw. End of. You can't call Mbappe an all timer just because of his numbers. He also lacks that genius of an all timer. He relies a lot on his...

Based on 1 game i.e the wc final, people keep regugitating that he is the bpitw; there is one poster, a Real Madrid fan who even started to talk him up as a potential"goat" candidate. Hasn't shown anything to suggest he is indeed the bpitw currenly.

Sets them apart? Nonsense. They are at the beginning of their respective careers not in the prime.

I was talking about him not being "great" at those things which doesn't imply he is poor at them. The thing is that given all the hype typically from the English press and the Real Madrid PR machine, I expected alot more from him and to be honest, he has not lived up to those expectations...

What is Bellingham great at? Dribbling? No. Passing? No. playmaking? No. Scoring? Perhaps, atleast for a midfielder. Running games? No. The hype he gets because he is English and plays for Real Madrid. Period. Musiala has a higher ceiling than all those players you mentioned. Playing and...

@BenitoSTARR On a serious note, I do feel sorry for him but....

I'm sure Lewandowski will one day do his stat padding there and you'll claim he is the best.

I'm not one to take too seriously pre-retirement football but this is a reminder of the magic he possesses that completely separates him from anyone else I've seen.

When he goes, City will be back to fighting for top 4.

There are stats and than there is the eye test. My eyes tell Musiala is the better footballer and a higher ceiling; the better league claim does not hold water because Musiala plays well in the ucl too. Bellingham always looks underwhelming when I watch him. I do not support Bayern or Real. I...

He scored goals but also made Juve a 10 men team out of possession and in the build up. Before anyone claims it was age, the fact is that he refused to work for the team at any age. It was always about Ronaldo's personal glory. That wasn't detrimental at Madrid because they were so strong in...
