Today actually reminded me of 2000. We were the treble winners, best team in the world in my eyes at least at the time and then we play Real. Wasn't old enough then to be aware of Real's pedigree in the CL and what d'ya know. They kill us with...

If that's the criteria you are using, which league is the best in the world according to you?

Liverpool are definitely not winning the PL after tonight :D

I think Sir is supposed to have sounded him out to follow him but he'd already given his word to Real or something like that.

The PL had two golden periods, the one you are talking about and the one recently where Chelsea, Spurs, City and Liverpool all reached finals and there was 7 finalists out of a possible 12 between 2018 and 2023 which is an incredible record. The...

When did any of their players show it at this level though? There have been plenty of standout PL performers who never managed to replicate the same form at this level. Rice, Ødegaard, Saka, Martinelli should be all on the cusp of world class but...

Old Atlético would be proud of this Real's performance. How can you have all these players and play like that?

As much as the game might change, followers of the sport can by and large still recognize the special talents that set themselves apart from their peers, Haaland isn’t that, there’s no universe in which you can consistently watch his games and...

If we're talking world wide appeal and brand recognition among even the casual viewers in the 21st century, then it's Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United. Followed by the Italian giants, Liverpool and Bayern. If we're talking about...

14 teams scored more than us this season. Luton and Brentford scored more goals than us. If that tells us anything, it's that our problems are most definitely not personel and they won't be solved by personel change alone.

I honestly don't understand the argument over Haaland. It seems like nobody is really contradicting the other side. No one in their right mind can claim that he is not one of the greatest goalscorers we have ever seen in European football with a...

We will see their likes again. New wizards appear and have been throughout football. We have been through periods of efficiency and limiting mistakes before, over time we discover the way to beat it is by allowing individual brilliance to...

Yeah I'd be surprised if he fit the criteria to any of these clubs fans. He is easily an iconic player who played for them but legend for me is a combination of input/performances plus memories and fondness generated with the fans. R9 has plenty...

That's a harsh criteria indeed. It would mean that there are no midfield Barcelona legends since I assume Busquets, Xavi and Iniesta are legends over there. You won't find many United fans who would argue that Best and Giggs are not club legends...

Casillas, Carvajal and Marcelo?
