Mbappe again
Mbappe is already a better dribbler than CR7 was at the same age.Mbappe will never have the footballing ability that Messi or Neymar (or Ronaldo) has. Either will Haaland. We are leaving the time of geniuses to be replaced by physical beasts. Both Mbappe and Haaland are great players though but that level of genius of the other 3 is just something so so different to experience.
Madrid can look dogshit for 99% of the match or the tie and then they knock you out or beat you anyway.I don't think Real Madrid can save us this year...![]()
If Real get out of group they are still a danger. The later they get into the competition the more confident they get. With City it is if Pep has one of his moments in the knockout rounds.I don't think Real Madrid can save us this year...![]()
Mbappe doesn't have anywhere near the rest of CR7's abilities though. CR7 was also an incredible facilitator in his prime too which Mbappe deeply lacks at the highest level. Also its not like dribbling was ever a problem for Ronaldo either, never Messi level but never a weakness. Haaland 100% belongs in the conversation with Mbappe. Neither will ever be in the conversation with the other 2 though in my opinion.Mbappe is already a better dribbler than CR7 was at the same age.
Haaland doesn't belong in the conversation, he is mostly a poucher.
It’s the way he gets into those positions though. He’s so fast and powerful over those first few yards to get on the end of them.Haaland can't believe his luck how easy it is to score in this city team, lots of tap ins
Yep a very incredible part of his game is his reading of the play offensively.It’s the way he gets into those positions though. He’s so fast and powerful over those first few yards to get on the end of them.
That was hilarious! Pure commentators curse!James Horncastle fawning over Kalulu just as he gets megged and put on his arse, as Milan concede![]()
Madrid's midfield has gotten a year older and so has Benzema, lost Casemiro, and Tchouameni and Camavinga are still raw. But it has less to do with them and more with how transformed PSG look under Galtier and Campos. And this time City have Haaland. Think it's the year we will have a CL petrol final.Madrid can look dogshit for 99% of the match or the tie and then they knock you out or beat you anyway.
