[AfricanBavarian]

What great teams has Gotze played in CL knock out rounds?

Real Madrid I give you that. What about after that?

People are forgetting he played Man C twice and RM three times last season

Yes but we are being told it is all about the CL knock out stages.

Cant we just be more specific cause playing the likes of RM and Man C aint easy no matter what stage of CL ur in

football exists before europe brah.

we don't have to account your lack of realization of that. i know your not that familiar to the scope and depth of the game when you say things like that.

Please enlighten me then. Name at least 3 teams he's played that are top 20 in the world besides Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.

What great teams has Neymar played besides an exhausted Spain, Real Madrid still getting used to Ancelotti, and Atletico in a not so important match?

Even if what you were saying was true, which it patently isnt, what does merely participating in these big games have to do with anything. Here I was thinking that it was the performance in these games that was important. But I guess once Neymar plays a cl Semi, even if its against Galatasaray, he will have arrived.

Why 'besides Real Madrid and Atletico'?

You cant just discount those teams then ask a question.

Name me the top 20 teams Gotze has played minus Bayern and Real Madrid.

This kid is the one player closest to Messi in terms of both style and talent, in my opinion. Definitely a future BD winner.

if there is one german player with realistic chances of winning the balon d'or in the future, then it's him.

 

[Gohan]

They're both class in their own way, and looking at what opponents they played doesn't make sense anyway.

 

[Cule4life]

What silly arguments I have seen here. Both are great talents. But they both are too young to compare. I would wait atleast after the world cup to draw any conclusions.

 

[Kinlejus]

I told you he was a goal scorer. Listen.

Far from it.

Refer to Dortmund vs. Malaga in Estadio La Rosaleda last year

Agreed. The others, be it Özil, Reus or Draxler (I have not bought into his hype yet) etc., stand no chance.

Is Ballon D'Or now a measurement of quality? If so Iniesta and Xavi should both have won two or three before Götze wins one. Also what a strange "prediction" this is

...or even longer. Most of the times it's not about potential but whether or not a player can reach it. With those two, we'll see that in a few years. Senseless to compare them now. But while we're at it, at least Neymar is not as much of a traitor...

Certainly not, after all there is only a handful of people who will win the BD in one's career, and there a lot of quality players. It is just that the BD these days is usually reserved for prolific scorers done in some sort of flashy style, like it nor not. The other German players just don't cut it (well, it is perhaps too early to issue a verdict on Draxler).

Manchester City 3 times, Dortmund once. He faced Real 3 times I believe and faced Bayern at least 4 or 5 times while at Dortmund.

Neymar has played one match against Real and one against Atletico.

One game. Condemning evidence.
