I actually rate Scholes a lot. I think he was more talented than likes of Pirlo or Kroos. His problem was that United and English style of football back then wasn't as suited to technical midfielders like that compared to Serie A or La Liga of the past 10-15 years. If you judge in terms of his...

We already have a benchmark with the champions league for how their numbers would compare if they played against the same opposition on a consistent basis throughout the careers. Unsurprisingly, Ronaldo holds all the goalscoring records in that competition despite starting his career as a...

Juls spitting some facts

Nations league being considered important for the ballon d'or this year just confirms even more that the 2021 race should have been between RL9 and Benzema instead of RL9 against Messi and the media.

This was peak Djokovic on clay. Probably would have won it if he didn't touch the net which would have been huge legacy wise to have beaten peak Rafa at RG. Still greatest clay court match ever. @Temptation

Yes, but I was talking about Zverez's best surface being clay. Djokovic on clay is underrated af though. During his peak, he wasn't that big an underdog against Nadal on that surface.

crying to mods every time you get cooked is beta even for you

Portugal NEVER reached an International FINAL before Cristiano Ronaldo. They just reached their FOURTH with him. @Fati_Future_BallonDor

Don't think Zverez will ever be HIM. Djokovic at 38 still outplays him convincingly on his best surface. I think he'd be like an 80-20 underdog in both matchups, but if Djokovic actually goes through Zverez, Sinner, and Alcaraz to win it, that would be too insane even for him.

Mid 30s RL9 still clear of peak Suarez

Pressing machine @Birdy @Temptation

Yeah the bias against Dembele for ballon d'or because he doesn't play "pure football" or something is clear. It might just be motivated by the agenda against Ronaldo, but some say Ribery deserved it in 2013. Dembele this season was better and more important to PSG than Ribery was to Bayern...

vamos we got one

He's trying to fool people into thinking he travels like you @Temptation

PSG play nothing like Pep/Xavi teams who were supposed to represent Barca DNA. If Pep had won CL again playing with four centerbacks, slow possession, no pacy wingers, and Haaland up front, that would be hailed as a victory for Barca DNA, yet Lucho doing it with fullbacks attacking like...

feck this Shelton playing so well for most of it and getting so many opportunities but not taking advantage of them

Flick will probably improve the team further but he also won't get a Benfica-Dortmund-Inter path to the final every season so this was a golden opportunity missed
