Bro that was just a joke 🤣

Yeah ik, was just checking.

The disrespect to 20th century football greats today is immense. Would not be surprised if there are people who would actually agree with you on that one.

I thought it was so obvious that this is a joke that i dont need emojis 🤣 @Maradona37

Would be crazy if someone really thinks that 😳

People who complain about Laporta should note that we sold this animal IN HIS PRIME.

We also sold R9, IN HIS PRIME.

The second and third best footballers OF ALL TIME, IN THEIR PRIME

That's the sort of bobbins leadership Barca has had in the past.

Respect the work of Don Laporta.

I once seen someone say Pele would be lucky to make Norwich's bench. I know they were being serious too. I have heard other mad stuff, like Pele would be Grealish level now at best (I do rate Grealish, but come on...)

Never underestimate young people's disrespect and cluelessness of the wonderful ability of past players and eras. Like I have said before, football isn't a quantitative, fully linear sport like 100m. Stuff like technique, touch, vision, football IQ, passing, dribbling, doesn't automatically get better over time. There's lots of players born in the 30s and 40s who were much more talented than many players born in the 90s and 2000s.

Ppl forget that today we have completely different training systems, waaay more modern so you will be way better/ can get more output from your talent. Who knows how good Pele or Maradona would have become if they would have trained with today systems. Thats why it makes normally no sense to compare different eras 🤔

Yes that is the obvious caveat - these players would have access to today's training methods and nutrition or sports science to enable them to be sufficiently fit for the era. After that, their natural talent does the rest. Like you say, it's impossible to compare across time and space.

Don't remind us 🤦.

We missed out on some many titles due to horric leadership.
