From an individual point of view, the Galaticos were better. In fact, I'd go as far as saying that the current team's best player, Cristiano Ronaldo, wouldn't even be among the three best player in your Galatico side. But as a unit, your current side is much better, it's not even remotely...

Well, it seems that Real Madrid will win La Liga this season (unless they epically collapse). Can't say it's not deserved; their past two seasons with 96 and 92 points would have been enough to win it pretty much any other year. If they do make it this time, can't really say it isn't deserved...

It might seem that way, but we must keep fighting. I'm ok with us losing the title, I won't be ok if we give up without fighting until the end though. I'm sure that won't be the case.

What's all this shit about the "old" Messi? Messi is better now than he ever was, he keeps improving.

No, they are not.

Yeah, he's obviously a top quality player. But he's no better now than he was at Valencia, he's just getting more hype, to the point where he has become ridiculously overhyped. The lack of genuine superstars has made the British hype machine champion every player who can string a few great...

:facepalm: Why is Silva being discussed here anyway? That guy is one of the most overrated players at the moment, he has no business being mentioned in the Iniesta thread. Yes. Hopefully it will be Cesc to fill in the void left by Villa. Cesc > Silva, clearly.

I approve of this rule. There should be an automatic ban for whoever criticizes (in any way, shape or form) the Don. :worthy:

Glad that Suarez is back and even scored a goal. Great player.

No, that's not the reason why Villa is better than Van Persie. His average is also superior: he has scored 0,5 goals per match, while VP has 0,42. This is even more impressive because the more matches you play your average becomes more likely to drop. So it has nothing to do with playing more...

-I never said anything about goals and assists. But let's imagine I did, for argument's sake. Villa has 267 goals and 78 assists (ignoring his early years at Gijon for which there are no statistics), while Robin has 143 goals and 53 assists, meaning that Villa's stats almost double Van Persie's...

Performance in general. Villa's consistency over the past decade can't be matched (not even close) by the likes of Van Persie. Even if we look at titles, it's pretty much the same story.

Is club career based on luck too? Because Villa is way ahead there as well.

This. + his brilliant international career. /thread 10 years of excellence > 1/2

This is greatly exaggerated. Van Persie is obviously a great player and he's having a great season, but he can hardly compare to players who have been playing at an incredibly high level for many years (Villa). Regardless of any speculation about how good he could have been without the...

Great goal. Hope it's a sign of great things to come in the rest of the season for Bojan :D

Precisely. People have very short memories. Villa > RVP This reminds me of when people were claiming that Torres was better than Villa circa 2008/2009 just because he had one great year. Look how silly that looks now.

Pedro Rodriguez Ledesma

This is way more credible than any of HBA's conspiracy theories to be fair.

Great game by Pinto. He could do nothing in the two goals and he made some crucial saves, especially early in the first half. I expect more of this in the semis against Valencia.
