I wouldn't call it a Mickey Mouse trophy. Just because Barca wasn't successful in that era doesn't mean it doesn't count. Great teams and players played and won the trophy pre 1992.
I wouldn't be happy for pep either way. I'd be happy because Real Madrid didn't win, He seems to have become a bit of a douche since he left.
Btw if juve played bayern in the final I'd support juve.
I wonder what the rankings would be with that system
Btw I would get rid of domestic cups, they are not important. I'd get rid of inter cities fair cup too. And the uefa super cup.
I agree that prestige and current power are two different things. Celtic are a bigger club than Man City for example but obviously not as powerful right now. That's down to current players, money (potential players) and the league you play in.
I watched a programme and they analysed ronaldos sprints. He lost to a mediocre sprinter and his technique was bad.
The best sprinter is gareth bale.
Ronaldo is fast but his best physical ability is his jump iMO.
