Colin Murray (yes I know) openly said on 5live tonight that Didier Drogba for a 2 year period has been the second best player in the world behind Messi, he wasn't even challenged on his assertion by the studio guests. Give Me Strength. This leads on to a decent article I read about Ronaldo...

I'm not sure I agree with this, Michel Platini is remembered as a great and he played in the same league as Maradona when he was at Napoli. When Cristiano Ronaldo retires and Redcafe is swamped with endless Neymar vs Gotze debates people will truly appreciate and be able to put into context what...

Barcelona AC Milan Manchester City Dortmund How about that for a group of death.

Love watching Germany play football at any level these days, they're cutting through England at will here.

Red Bull Salzburg, the most commercialised club, no?

All Time - Ronaldo, Juan Roman Riquelme, Alessandro Nesta Current - Mesut Ozil, Cesc Fabregas, Aaron Ramsey
