The fact that he can put up an elite season after a dip is even more proof he's the best player since Messi.

Just proof of hair transplant

Must have a better plastician than Stegen then.

Again confirmation bias at play.

Need to wait for +2 seasons post transplant before comparison. +1 Ter stegen had his best season.

Nah. His transplant got him injured. Balding Stegen never has the confidence to try and catch a cross. Not to mention that his knees didn't have much practice to take the pressure of landing from that height.

that’s in 3rd season since transplant.

So far first season boost because of transplant still holds.

I misused addition sign

 

[Iniesta Ultra]

Too cold, too early kickoffs, grass too long.

/Pass

forgot occasional sun in the eyes

Raphinha, technically clear of Salad? Check
More creative? Check
Works harder? Check
Tracks back and defends? Check
Doesn't have "asthma"? Check
Doesn't need penalties to statpad? Check
25 chances created in CL vs. 13 for Salad? Check

So what does Salad have left? PEDs and Refs
Anyone claiming he's even close to the best footballer is insane.

Raphina is NOT better than Salah at creating...
Salah works AS MUCH in defense...
Technically he is not clear, I would have them on the same level

 

[Temptation]

Raphinha isn't anywhere near Salah lmao.


Salah has been world class for years while most of the Barca fanbase wanted Raphinha sold before this season.


Why do people here pretend like Raphinha has always been this world class player?


Wouldn't swap them in a million years despite Raphinha being considerably younger. Salah has way more talent and ability than Raphinha. Stop lying to yourselves, guys.

 

[Temptation]

Salah has an outstanding first touch, great creative talent, finishing and dribbling. Salah's dribbling used to be even better when he was younger and quicker.


The only technical thing Raphinha has over him is direct free kicks lol. And that hardly matters unless you score free kicks very often(which Raphinha doesn't).


Let's see Raphinha score this kind of a goal against the strongest team in the world. I'll wait.

Raphinha 8 big chances created in the CL. Most out of all players.
12 successful dribbles, Salad only has 4.
Raphinha 1 clearance, 12 tackles, 5 interceptions, vs. 1, 4, 1
31 duels won vs 12

It's all about narrative. Mo Salad can barely beat his man unless it's Ipswich Town.

 

[Iniesta Ultra]

Liverpool's more balanced in attack than we are. What are team v team big chances created?

 

[fergus90]

I’m embarrassed for the champions league that we somehow got top 8. We are fucking awful.
