1. Cristiano Ronaldo:

    Manchester United - 292 Appearances, 118 Goals
    Real Madrid - 122 Appearances, 120 Goals

    That record at Real Madrid is beyond belief.
  2. tonight Bayer Leverkusen vs FC Barcelona

    not too far from here, maybe I should try to get a ticket on the black market somewhere and watch the great Barcelona for real, what a chance
  3. The great Barcelona that just rolled out of a defeat in La Liga.

    Real Madrid are 10 points clear at the top, running away with it now.

    awesome indeed
    there's to say that in Premiere League he met some more tougher teams though
  5. Without a doubt, I'd argue that some of our teams from below the Premier League would hold their own in La Liga. Whereas I don't think teams from the Segunda would get much from our Premier League or even from the Football League.

    Just my throughts though.
  6. my thoughts too
  7. I suppose the style of play is the contributing factor. Our Championship sides are real fighters and it's tight every season. There is a difference in class when you arrive in the Premier League but that doesn't stop teams from having a go. Look at Norwich and Swansea this season, they've played like seasoned Premier League teams.

    When Denis Irwin limped off the Old Trafford pitch after just 35 minutes against Everton on 2 March 1991, Alex Ferguson replaced him with a skinny 17-year-old.

    Now, almost 21 years later, that talented teenager - namely Ryan Giggs - has won more trophies than any other player in the history of English football and is closing in on his 900th appearance for Manchester United.


    Wow.
  8. Giggs is undoubtly among the top players (like Zanetti) from whom young kids (and not only) approaching football should take example
  9. defenses of the mid-low ranking teams (and some of mid-high) in Liga are tipically truly inconsistent
