Rubbish. Before Messi and Ronaldo, they had Zidane Ronaldo Figo Ronaldinho, Etoo Rivaldo

After Messi and ROnaldo they will still attract the best legs in the game

All WPOTY for the past 20yrs played in either Madrid or Barcelona at some point in their career

How did Spain fared in the UCL in the years leading to the emergence of Ronaldo and Messi?

lordfalcao:
what numbers is there to tell? What numbers is there to say that Robles has outperformed courtoise this season?

I'm not saying its the truth but its possible based on ratings. Keepers and defenders are generally rated based on saves, tackles won, interceptions, clearances and so n. If you consider those criteria I mentioned, you will see that a keeper as Heaton of Burnley or Robles will rake in more points because their respective teams are always under pressure and they are always making saves and thus getting more points.

You will understand this better if you play fantasy football. Heaton presently has the highest points with 119 compared to Courtois 112pts. Courtois may be better if you do a direct head-to-head but based on stats, saves, blocks etc, Heaton dwarfs him presently.

Before the emergence of Messi and Ronaldo you are talking about pre 2004. Madrid made CL final in 98, 2000 2002 Valencia 2000 2001.

Was it Messi and Ronaldo that helped them to make any of these? even the Barca who made in 2006 what was the input of Messi on it

Atletico has made 2 CL finals in the last 3 yrs was it also Messi and Ronaldo?

I am talking about years leading to 2009.

Ronaldo and Messi reached full potentials in 2008. Ronaldo was in Manchester United in 2008.

I am talking of 2003 to 2009. Spanish teams did not dominate this period.

The years 2003 -2009 Was when Madrid and Barca bought Beckham Thuram, Canavaro Nistelrooy, Robinho, Ronaldinho Sergio Ramos, Dani Alves, etc meaning at that time Madrid and Barca still bought the best players in almost all positions and between that time a period of 6yr Barca won the CL

Barca and Madrid winning have to do with them either grooming or buying the best players and if every WPOTY for the past 20yrs played for either of the 2 that means for 2 decades they have consistently gotten the best players in the world.

Nothing to do with Ronaldo and Messi

If we drop Ronaldo and Messi who are the best players in the world?

Neymar, Bale, Kroos, Suarez Modric
Bayern best player Robben
Man Utd best player Zlatan
PSG best player Dimaria
Arsenal best player Sanchez
Juventus best player Higuain
All the above are either their clubs best player or close to it
All these above players are either playing at these Madrid or Barca or have played at these 2 clubs sometime in their careers

I know Romero is capable. He's been solid this season. But the guy no worth being first choice Gk. Besides wéèdtaker made it sound like he could replace DDG.

If DDG comot, then we should at least try to lure(which would be very hard) Donaruma comot Italy. That boy is legit.

I am talking of Robles of Everton not heaton of burnly.. The stats holds no water, everybody knows goalkeeper from the lowest team face more shots. Robles is not a goalkeeper from the lowest teams.

weedtaker:
who give's a flying fvck, we've got segio romero

nd he's got more clean sheets than de gea.

No be only romero...even if de gea (who is actually going nowhere) magically leaves than that small boy doing big things in ac milans post is finished! Even if na to kidnap am he must sign for united as a direct de gea replacement!

Who dey help you talk all this one.
Will the Spanish teams continue to be on top for the foreseeable future ?
history says no.
we're talking about the supremacy of the Spanish league over Europe and you are mentioning only two teams leaving out the third one.

No one will be on top forever but they will always be close to the top. They have the allure most players dream of playing for them they have the money.

The moment either of those SPanish teams start looking at your player you are in trouble

oga, stop making it look like d guy is not good. D fact dat he remains Argentina numero uno says more. The first five games when De gea was benched due to d transfer brohaha, d guy showed he can be relied on

I don't know how a statement like "no be only romero" can suddenly be transformed into "romero is not good" but let me take it that you were posting from a bar! Anyway the point is this...romero was signed as a back up keeper and he is happy with the role! If de gea leaves someone else of a similar grade would come in and romero would still have to compete or manage his back up status! Simple!

Then he should pack his load and find somewhere else...

They did not dominate that period. And only Ronaldinho was in his prime.

The disowned son of Manchester spitting fire up there

lol


but why your people hate u na

it actually two goals, both against? Am sure you know. .

ummm not to forget that any Kante goal against Manchester United is recorded as 10.
20 goals already, definitely deserves WPOTY.

Seems Smalling is also injured

Anyone following the purisic news? Is he good?

ChristineC:
ah ah bros, even with his mighty 1 goal and 0 assists??

h
Its nt abt d goal or assist, its d style of play. Kante plays old skul Debfensive midfield- no flair no whips. Just strenght nd speed.

Fussbot:

I no sabi the guy and the dude na 28 yrs old. I dunno.

Fussbot:

Ivan perisic is a croatian winger that put in some superb performances in the last euros when his country over performed and he was a key man in the squad! I remember watching most of their games! He is good on either the left or right wings or as a striker, uses both feet, can head, has pace, can pass and scores goals! At 28 he is at the sweet age for most forward players! Not a bad option

Oasis007:
Bad News:

The Football Association announced that Chris Smalling has returned to United from the England camp due to injury.

Bad news for whom? The opposition team?

United of Course?! Losing two Defenders at the same Time is not healthy for United at the moment!

Well bailly and rojo are fit to play as centre backs and blind can also play in case of emergency. Besides, seems like a blessing in disguise cos Jones and smalling have been scrappy of recent.
