    I just think the time for him to come to the premier league has been and gone , he should have come in his prime , tested himself in the best league in the world . He doesn’t need to take that challenge in the last years of his career .

    After watching him since the restart he looks a shadow of his former self . Barca look a shadow of their former selves .
    City might need him I think with that style of football he can still play there for a few years.
  2. a perfect moment for Messi to step in. Would have been different if City would have won the CL this year.
  3. french final or german final? I say Bayern will be the champ
  4. +1 Sure it is. Who can stop Bayern. Normally no one. And better for Ajax if Lyon will lose. They are straight qualified for the group stages than.
  5. I hate my team lol

    Wow talk about over estimating a league.
  7. the debate around messi and cristiano is officially over after this.
    9 years 1 champions league
  8. The premier league is the best league in the world , has been for a long time, I don’t think anyone can even debate that. There’s a reason why it’s by far the richest league in the world and tv rights sell for billions
  9. I think it will be a debate that rages on and on Ronaldo has done it in Spain Italy and England which massively in his favour for me . But messi is still a wonderful player .

    To watch as a neutral , to entertain me I’d choose Messi over ronaldo , if I was to choose between one of them to come to my team ( West Brom) which would never happen in a million years , I’d choose ronaldo

    if its the best league in the world why are the 2 best players on the planet not playing in it ? also no english teams left in the Champions League ? 1 English winner in the last 7 CL ? Richest does not always mean best .....

    It’s the richest because it’s by far the most popular league all over the world , some countries the English premier league is more popular then their own leagues .

    I get your point about the champions league , that is a great point . But does that mean the french league is better then the premier league because Lyon are in the semi finals ?

    Ronaldo made his name in the premier league he won everything there was to win in the premier league , Messi has always stayed loyal to Barca . If Messi moved to the mls would you say the mls is the best league in the world ? The amount of foreign players we have that have amazing records abroad then they come to the premier league and they look awful .

    It isn’t just about 1 team winning the European cup , it’s about the league collectively. In the German Italian and Spanish league you can more or less guarantee outside the top 2 to 3 teams who is going to win the games . Teams outsides the top 2 or 3 can’t ever compete with the top clubs .

    In the premier league bottom could beat top and nobody would be surprised. It’s by far the most competitive.Anything can happen which is why collectively it’s the best .
