9 - Robert Lewandowski

[Temptation]

Temp, you have to stop bro.

Every time you try to gas a player, who tends to be English and put down a Spanish player, it rarely works out for you.

Spanish football is just top of the hill right now, they produce the best players, coaches and teams.

And yet even La Liga fans were moaning about how boring their league is for the last few years.

It took you a German Bundesliga coach to get excited about your own team again so.......

The numbers speak for itself. Everybody watches the PL. Everybody tunes in for 2 El Clasicos a year. Big difference.

Not sure an Englishman should be saying this these days.

I'm comparing the quality of the 2 leagues. Spain NT plays better than most teams currently.

EPL is definitely the most popular.

Put a Spanish team against it's EPL equivalent and we'll see what happens.

The same thing that always happens.

The Spanish team wins, both at club and international level.

If La Liga was truly the pinnacle of Football, people wouldn't prefer watching the PL every year.


The audience knows which one is a quality league and which one is a 2 team league.


Most La Liga games are tough to watch with constant interruptions, slow pace and excessive playacting. PL games are exciting and high tempo.

PL schedule is tougher and the league more physical which causes fatigue towards the business end of the season. In La Liga, the big 2 can sleepwalk against half the teams.


Anyways, in recent years, City have beaten Madrid multiple times, Chelsea have beaten Madrid, United have beaten Barca, Liverpool have beaten Barca.


Real Madrid have beaten Liverpool in recent years though on the other hand.

So answer me this, seriously.

In your opinion, why does Spain and Spanish club constantly beat EPL teams?.

Or a Liverpool fan lol.

Not having a go Tempt, just noticed it.

Lewa has been brilliant this season.

Not saying you are wrong, but that's more an appeal to popularity.

There are many reasons people might prefer PL - hype, more (in quantity) famous clubs than most leagues and - one of the main ones - the prevalence of the English language and colonial ties. People in Latin America might prefer La Liga and that's because of links to Spain.

Not saying you are wrong, just saying there's various reasons for it.
Also interruptions and playacting happen in the PL too, that is a bit 'xenophobic Englishman' and I know that is not you and you're better than that.

In the last 6 seasons, 3 PL clubs won the CL but only 1 LL club won it. Real Madrid are just freaks in the CL and better than the others so I'm not arguing against that.

 

[MontenegrinCuler]

Keep overhyping him and creating unnecessary pressure. Last week Barca fans on social media were saying he's the new Messi. It'll come back to bite him.

Lamine overhyped? Wow no. He's about as hyped as he should be.

 

[Temptation]

Lamine overhyped? Wow no. He's about as hyped as he should be.

He's one of the best 17 year olds ever so definitely not overhyped. But some people are overhyping his recent performances and discrediting the others players. There's a difference.


If you think Raphinha's performances are because of Lamine, then yes he's overrated.

CL
EL
Conference league
International football

The results remain the same.

Good attempt at a deflection though

Nah, you are underrating his recent performances. If you just take the Bayern and Real game Raph, Lewy and Yamal were all pretty equal. And one just shatters the eye test.

 

[Iniesta Ultra]

He's HIM.

People who post this line sound like 11 yo girls.
