Yes, the point I was making was that Cannavaro and Thuram had never won the Champions LeagueThe UEFA cup was the equivalent of what today is Europa League.

This guy at 32 and with some years more playing in top level, is already the most winner defense in history.
On top of that, he has been crucial in all the trophies he has won, most of them as captain and leader of his team.
You can like him or not, but the guy is a serial winner and in some years that he retires, he will be remembered as the best defender in the history of the game.
Nah it was better for sure, less teams made the CL.The UEFA cup was the equivalent of what today is Europa League.
How did this go? Any pics?Tweet

The UEFA Cup was contended by the 2nd best teams in Europe and was arguably as strong as the European Cup. If you didn't win your league you simply couldn't compete in the European Cup/Champions League unless you got a bye from winning it the previous season.The UEFA cup was the equivalent of what today is Europa League.
It really wasn'tThe UEFA cup was the equivalent of what today is Europa League.
Slightly weaker at defending than some other top class CBs but world class at everything else. The best CB playing atm bar none.It’s astounding how overrated he is.
Bit knee jerk? I want to see someone post this on the De Gea thread.It’s astounding how overrated he is.
Woah woah woah, you want someone to? Implying you’d agree with them?!Bit knee jerk? I want to see someone post this on the De Gea thread.
Slightly is an understatement.Slightly weaker at defending than some other top class CBs but world class at everything else. The best CB playing atm bar none.
Look at my post history in this thread.Bit knee jerk? I want to see someone post this on the De Gea thread.
I thought it was? Then there was the cup winners cup which was different all together. UEFA Cup became the Europa.It really wasn't
I want to see a brave poster do it without whitetext just to witness the meltdown.Woah woah woah, you want someone to? Implying you’d agree with them?!
Sounds good, you’ve got my blessingI want to see a brave poster do it without whitetext just to witness the meltdown.
Wish me luck.Sounds good, you’ve got my blessing
World class at passing, bringing the ball out for his position, world class at heading, world class at knowing every dirty trick in the book, and above all leading his team to victories.Slightly is an understatement.
And he is not world class at everything else.
Look at my post history in this thread.
Yep you dont be the mainstay of a defence for a team thats won 3 champions leagues on the trot if youre useless. Hes probably a cnut but hes a proper leader, he may not be the best defender but his presence and his leadership must give others confidence alongside him.He is a great player. People just love to revisit topics when instant pictures suit their agendas.
Look at those tags, too. You're moaner and a City supporter, but your tagline says Arsenal supported and you're on a United forum. Can't really trust you.Slightly is an understatement.

In name only. Much like the European cup and the Champions League today, they were different competitions due to the qualification criteriaI thought it was? Then there was the cup winners cup which was different all together. UEFA Cup became the Europa.
That's a really shit argument. Lesser players have won more. And Real have not won titles recently because of their defending.Yep you dont be the mainstay of a defence for a team thats won 3 champions leagues on the trot if youre useless. Hes probably a cnut but hes a proper leader, he may not be the best defender but his presence and his leadership must give others confidence alongside him.
I was trying to post something bullshit like you.What?
FewerNah it was better for sure, less teams made the CL.
Obviously they’re different competitions but people still class them as the same thing, the same calibre. Either officially or unofficially they’re generally the evolved versions. That’s why Madrid have officially won their 13th European cup.In name only. Much like the European cup and the Champions League today, they were different competitions due to the qualification criteria
I usually agree with most of what you say but this is complete madness.Slightly is an understatement.
