He single-handedly eliminated Real Sociedad, and led his team out of the group stage, scored 2 against Barca. So, Mbappe with 15 g&a (12 goals) including a hat-trick in a WC final in 2 WCs is nothing special, but Vinicius with 3 goals for his entire Brazil NT career (3 goals in 28 games) is...

What Mbappe did in the UCL at 18 when playing for Monaco along with his iconic WC performances put him among the top-2 of the new generation easily. Not even counting his domination of Ligue 1 or great overall UCL stats (74 g&a in 70 games), or his out of this world pace, dribbling skills etc...

Klopp won Bundesliga with Dortmund twice against Bayern and led them to a UCL final destroying Mourinho's Real Madrid 4-1 in the process (I know, Real was their nemesis at Liverpool). SAF faced Real three times with United, and got eliminated all three times. Those European Cup you're talking...

SAF didn't compete against Guardiola in the league, only in the CL, and we saw how that went. You cannot reduce these managers' impact to "spending" difference only. Pretty sure, Klopp would have easier time against any manager not named Pep.

I agree.. SAF could easily end up with zero UCL titles, that game against Bayern was a miracle, and John Terry's slip was probably one of the most unlucky moments I've ever seen in a penalty shoot-out.. If these miracles didn't happen, would that make SAF an inferior manager?

Your post makes no sense. The same Deportivo beat both Barca and Real Madrid 2-0 in La Liga that season, you probably have no idea on how strong Deportivo was in those years. They finished La Liga above Real and 1-point below Barca that season. Monaco thing was not one off either, in 4 games...

That Deportivo eliminated Juventus and beat legendary Milan 4-0. Monaco eliminated both Real Madrid and Chelsea, so definitely not an easy path. He has the same number of CL titles as SAF. Also, he won these titles with underdogs like Porto and in the Inter case, beating both heavy favorites...

Nobody is comparable to Pep other than SAF in the Premier League history with 5 league titles in 6 years, a treble, a domestic treble, 4 Carabao Cup, 2 FA Cup (on the way to 3rd), all in 6 years with below records. Most goals scored in a season (all competitions) Most goals scored in a Premier...

There's no debate here, just some pathetic attempts to derail the thread with misinformation as usual from the few remaining usual suspects..

complain to others who chose this nickname, not to me, it's what he's globally known for.. "Why is Cristiano Ronaldo called 'Penaldo'? Juventus star's nickname explained" www.goal.com/en-us/news/why-is-cristiano-ronaldo-called-penaldo-juventus-stars-nickname-explained/15l6hs0slub7u1ok8qo6j8pj2z

not funnier than Penaldo fanboys' desperate attempts to portray his PSG experience as a failure when he led Europe in most attacking categories, that's all they have left after their idol's WC and rejection records in Europe.. They probably think the more they use Messi, failure, and PSG in the...

He had an impressive 40 g&a in 39 games at Ligue 1 and UCL for PSG last season (Mbappe had 45 g&a in 42 games).... now has 14 g&a in 9 games in MLS+Concacaf Cup.. He also led Europe in most MOTM, highest average rating, big chances created, dribbling etc. and had 2nd most assists behind KDB in...

:lol: :lol:

United and Chelsea spent even more. Guardiola very rarely goes for established stars, develops promising players to reach their full potential as emerging stars. Imagine ignoring the fact that he won the Premier League 5 times in the last 6 years, created the most dominant PL team ever...
