    Almost feel like all the world class players are ageing or finishing their peak. Genuinely don’t think any player within the 20-25 year old age range will reach the heights of the zidanes,figos etc. Or even now the Ramos’, modric etc. And 100% no one will replicate the extra quality legends of messi and Ronaldo.

    If that Inter team were to stick together and maybe get a fresh goalkeeper (although Handanović is still fantastic) and wingbacks in the summer they could be a serious outfit in Europe. The only thing is that Conte, despite being a class coach and having proven his worth domestically in England and Italy, has an atrocious European record.

    Was saying the same thing during the game, guys like Neymar, Mbappe, De Bruyne are excellent players but the gap between them and Messi and Ronaldo is mammoth.

    Mind you the English have Foden better than the both of them combined, excellent player but by * they love to inflate them.

    I wouldn't say they need a right full back. Hakimi is an excellent modern day wing back in my opinion. Still only 22 as well. They definitely need to strengthen on the left though.

    Mbappe, Haaland, Foden and Iheanacho are all excellent young players, imo. Agree, though, that they aren’t as good as Messi or Ronaldo. Someone will eventually come along who is as good as, or better than, Messi. Eventually being the operative word.

    Think that’s nonsense. People always look back nostalgically and think it was better then than now.

    Haaland, Mbappe and Foden are operating at a ridiculous level already. I think people actually overlook how good some of these players are because Messi and Ronaldo have set such a high bar.

    Haaland is 20 years old and has a record of 53 goals in 56 matches for Dortmund. He’s scored 24 goals in 20 games in the Champions League - all the while playing for Salzburg and Dortmund.

    That’s outrageous for any player, never mind a 20 year old.

    I will be watching the final with the sound down as all we will be hearing about will be how great English football is (even though the majority of the players on the field will be foreign) or just how great " the best league in the world" is (due mainly to the millions upon millions of cash ploughed into every season). Oh for the good old days when all the clubs involved in the European Cup where champions of their domestic league and everyone more or less was playing on a level playing field.

    Yes, but he’s the weakest of the pack. Was going to lump Juventus loan player Chiesa in there as well, but decided against it. :giggle1: :86:

    Had a mental block and forgot about those 3 haha but they are really the only 3 about at the minute I’d say that COULD continue onto what their current output and potential is. And don’t always think it is nostalgia. Look back at all the top international teams squads from the 90s-2000s compared to now across the board there’s way more quality

    Must be trolling.

    Iheanacho isn’t in the same stratosphere as those 3.

    Ridiculous suggestion :56:
