And you suffer from the disease of not being consistant with your own logic. Benzema, who came from Ligue 1 and wasn't even a starter for France, is somehow classified as superstar signing by you but Ronaldinho, who came from the same league and was older and significantly more accomplished than...

Romario came in his prime, was Brazil's best player, and was already proven in Europe. He was already a star and there was 0 doubts about him. Ronaldinho was a world cup winner and universally acclaimed as the best 23 and under player in the world. He was as close to a sure thing as you can get...

The Brazilians that Barca bought over the years were already acclaimed and highly sought after stars before getting there (Neymar, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, Romario, R9)

He did reach his full potential, what's underwhelming is the fact that his prime lasted 3 or 4 years max.

Outside of the Classico games where they had to resort to terrorist ball, Mourinho's Madrid weren't even an ugly team to watch. Quite the opposite actually. People seem to forget that team still holds the record for most goals scored in a single La Liga season ( 2011-2012)

But you are. You pretty much unilaterally decided that Ancelotti's style is unappealing and that the fanbase somehow "changed" or were conditioned to put up with it when In reality, millions of fans enjoy the football their team plays and are completely fine with 2 or 3 PTB matches in the...

It's weird that you're trying to impose your ideals into another fanbase. Madrid doesn't have a specific style but they play attractive football most of the season and only close shop when they need to get a result against a stacked team, usually in a second leg away from home. Just contrast...

The scary thing about this team is that the voodoo/clutchness or whatever you wanna call it has already passed from the old guard to the new guard. Camavinga, Valverde, Vinicius, and rodrygo are all 25 and under and are already two time CL winners and major contributors in both triumphs. Thrown...

It wasn't Rolando's alone

Ooops

Mendy and Rudiger clearly stopped playing and Lunin didn't move an inch. The narrative I'd actually like to push is how the hell were they playing a 13th minute on an already ridiculous 9 minute added time? If these refs were hell bent on helping Madrid, they sure made things unnecessarily...

...or if you actually made it to said final.

Are people seriously arguing that there was a disallowed goal there? the defenders and goalkeeper literally stood still after the whistle :LOL: Doesn't mean the offside call was right, but if there was no flag or whistle there would have been no goal from that attempt.

Aside from stat padding in qualifiers and friendlies, Neymar hasn't delivered when it mattered most for Brazil. Man has the same number of World Cup goals as freaking Gyan Asamoah.

It's like Xavi expect more likeable and better at coaching.

If anything this post highlights the hysteria around Vinicius in Spain. Fermin mocked Madrid and Bellingham with a premature celebration in front of the Madrid crowd only to get the real thing dropped on his head in the dying minutes of the game. Reacting to this situation with laughing emoji...

He's the inverse of what he used to be just a few years ago. He was able to get past his man at will but always came up empty handed as he had little to no end product. Now he's struggling to get past good defenders but he's more decisive in the final third.

The level of cope here in insane lol Apparently Madrid fans should be ashamed of a gritty defensive performance in an away game against the title holders. Never mind the fact that Madrid attacked quite aggressively at home. Apparently anything short of 180 minutes of relentless pressing and...

So in your world these alleged and highly conspiratorial theories about Madrid's influence in UEFA make them more morally objectionable than the tyrannical medieval state built by slave labor that violated every financial rule under the sun to fund a sportswashing project? This has to be...

Who deserves to win it then ? Teams who aren't able to decisively beat supposedly inferior competition across two games?
