Atletico will be motivated to win just so they can lose the final once again. This might be the most realistic chance for an El Clasico final aswell so its gonna be one hell of a match.

Amazing

I think its the 3rd time in 15 years. Remember a Xabi Prieto hattrick in like 13-14

Only Barca can stop these cunts

Now we're in for another heartbreak in extra time:rolleyes:

Damn what is going on?

This might be the only topic on which the forum agrees unanimously.

Depends on situation as they were different players. Abidal acted as 3rd defender when Alves was bombing forward, very good physically but doesnt compare to Alba offensively. Alba was basically an extra winger but when he had to defend he was as bad as Marcelo. Overall Alba probably edges him...

Definitely should give it a try for one last hurrah. He looks like a lion with the long hair + red beard combo.

Messi at the next World Cup:

Great time to find his form too, there's finally someone who can give some rest to the trident.

He really surpassed most people's expectations, though a lot of his redemption arc also coincides with the team's comeback and ultimately Flick. Crazy numbers for his age too, hope he gets the Pichichi/European boot while he helps the team to win something important this season.

I feel like Hagi is well known as I've heard even casual fans talk about him. One of the most iconic number 10s of all time. Talentwise one of the best, no doubt he is best player Romania ever had. I think he's one of the best shooters I've ever seen. He could score goals from whatever...

I also forgot about Garnacho, multiple times. Crazy that he's only 20 years old still. United is probaly stalling his career, but he still has time for a change of heart. If it works for Antony, it could also work for him.

So it seems that the old core will be there if no injuries. Argentina have the most homogeneous squad by far. Lisandro is a huge blow in defence. What about Varela from Porto? They are stacked in CDM/Holding Midfield position nonetheless. With this setup, they seem perfect for a diamond...

This will also be bad for Serie A/La Liga clubs... @soul24rage Any chance Nico Paz gets a role next summer? Looks very impressive from what i've watched at Como. He seems to resemble Javier Pastore who also started quite promising, they're similar height too.

It's one of the main things I've heard from some of his fans. Though I agree a lot of them are also Premier League zealots aswell as "ball knowledge" experts:kounde:I have this one lad who says he likes Ronaldo because he's more entertaining and he scores a multitude of goals, as if that makes...

There's also the false narrative that Cristiano is more enjoyable to watch than Messi, as in that Messi's style is boring whereas the Portuguese is entertaining. Ignoring the fact that Ronaldo has probably hundreds of matches where he's invisible for large parts of a game and you dont really see...

I agree that a lot of this rivalry was pushed by the media because it sold good, they even said it themselves. Though I do have to mention that at times it was quite tense partly because of the club rivalry aswell, more specifically the 2011-2015 period. But besides competing in numbers, the...

Messi imo is everything Maradona was, but more professional. He's widely acknowledged by most football pundits/ex-greats, and that holds more weight than what internet connoisseurs might want to believe. I dont think there's anything to troll about his looks. He was awkward looking as a...
