Gotta love when sociopaths just out themselves like this.

And you suffer from the disease of not being consistant with your own logic. Benzema, who came from Ligue 1 and wasn't even a starter for France, is somehow classified as superstar signing by you but Ronaldinho, who came from the same league and was older and significantly more accomplished than...

Romario came in his prime, was Brazil's best player, and was already proven in Europe. He was already a star and there was 0 doubts about him. Ronaldinho was a world cup winner and universally acclaimed as the best 23 and under player in the world. He was as close to a sure thing as you can get...

The Brazilians that Barca bought over the years were already acclaimed and highly sought after stars before getting there (Neymar, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, Romario, R9)

He did reach his full potential, what's underwhelming is the fact that his prime lasted 3 or 4 years max.

Outside of the Classico games where they had to resort to terrorist ball, Mourinho's Madrid weren't even an ugly team to watch. Quite the opposite actually. People seem to forget that team still holds the record for most goals scored in a single La Liga season ( 2011-2012)

But you are. You pretty much unilaterally decided that Ancelotti's style is unappealing and that the fanbase somehow "changed" or were conditioned to put up with it when In reality, millions of fans enjoy the football their team plays and are completely fine with 2 or 3 PTB matches in the...

It's weird that you're trying to impose your ideals into another fanbase. Madrid doesn't have a specific style but they play attractive football most of the season and only close shop when they need to get a result against a stacked team, usually in a second leg away from home. Just contrast...

The scary thing about this team is that the voodoo/clutchness or whatever you wanna call it has already passed from the old guard to the new guard. Camavinga, Valverde, Vinicius, and rodrygo are all 25 and under and are already two time CL winners and major contributors in both triumphs. Thrown...

It wasn't Rolando's alone

Ooops

Mendy and Rudiger clearly stopped playing and Lunin didn't move an inch. The narrative I'd actually like to push is how the hell were they playing a 13th minute on an already ridiculous 9 minute added time? If these refs were hell bent on helping Madrid, they sure made things unnecessarily...

...or if you actually made it to said final.

Are people seriously arguing that there was a disallowed goal there? the defenders and goalkeeper literally stood still after the whistle :LOL: Doesn't mean the offside call was right, but if there was no flag or whistle there would have been no goal from that attempt.

Aside from stat padding in qualifiers and friendlies, Neymar hasn't delivered when it mattered most for Brazil. Man has the same number of World Cup goals as freaking Gyan Asamoah.
