What credit are you giving him exactly? that he scored easy goals, that he plays in a strong collective team that did even more impressive things without him, or that his previous success with Madrid was mostly owed to luck and teammates? :lol: you pretty much left no stone unturned when it...

Let me rephrase, one of the greatest individual performances in a major CL comeback.

Is this a serious question? maybe it has something to do with him being the catalyst of one of the greatest CL comebacks? just a guess.

Believe it or not, I already noticed that some people are beginning to inflate Juve players just to minimize Ronaldo's individual impact. Whatever helps one sleep at night I guess.

The narrative that Ronaldo is a mere stat padder who owes everything to Modric and co has taken a massive hit this year. :lol:

You can't seriously believe this, do you? :lol:

Ajax fans consider him their best player, how is he not getting 10% of the hype that De Ligt and De Jong are getting?

Ligue 1 has always been a defensive league. World class players like Drogba and Trezeguet went on to score more AFTER they left the " farmers league ". Mbappe is also doing well with the NT and in the champions league, so harping on the quality of the league is a moot point anyway.

I've watched him a few times, he was stellar against Manchester United. Liverpool fans seem to be satisfied with him too. The man is doing remarkably well considering the fact that he was asked to play CB, CDM, RCM, and LCM in his first season for a title contender.

Where are you getting this nonsense from? Fabinho was one of the main reasons why Monaco elminated Pep's Manchester City and Tuchel's Dortmund, two sides who press relentlesly . Calling him " shit " is simply an indefensible position, and frankly it doesn't even merit any serious consideration.

Played really well tonight.

Depay's inability to make the difference in 1 vs 1 situations always penalizes his team, especially in games like this when they have to make every little opportunity count. And it's not just because Semedo is solid, he struggles even against weak defenders in Ligue 1.

I don't feel like there is a consensus in France at all. Griezmann had more impact on set pieces and penalties but in open play? I just didn't see it. Mbappe was the one using his pace to attack every inch of space and get into dangerous postions. The game against Argentina was the best...

Those are highly debatable points imo, especially the second part. He pretty much destroyed Argentina on his own and was the launching point of almost every counter-attack throughout the tournament. There is a reason why he topped the French players ratings ( not that stats are the be all end...

Why wouldn't they? Who in his age bracket is doing what he's doing at the moment? He just had a world cup that more established players would give an arm to have and he continues to be decisive in the CL. If it's not Mbappe, who should the public hail as the next big thing?

Why are you resorting to insults, abruti de footix? OBVIOUSLY he'e working harder now that he's a box to box midfielder,it's literally what the position entails. I never argued against this. My point of contention is your claim that he was "one of the least hard working player at Monaco " =...

What would I need to read some journalist's opinion? I'm French myself and watched him since the day he signed with Monaco. Obviously his workrate as a box to box midfielder is going to be higher than when he was just a winger tasked with sticking to one side. But to claim that he was one of the...

I'm not really sure what your motives are, but I suspect that you are trying to argue that Coutinho can be transformed into a hard-working proper midfielder just like Silva if he had the right coach. And to back that up you are making up this narrative of Bernardo having the same workrate as...

What a load of nonsense, are you basically just lying to people who don't watch Ligue1? dude was constantly dropping back to help with the defense and was always there when the unreliable right backs ( Nabil Dirar or Sidibé ) went missing. A poster from the Monaco forum after one of his last...

Not according to Juve fans. His free kicks suck, we've known this for a decade now.
