At the time of Ronaldo's transfer to Juve, you said Ronaldo was barely relevant to the results of the team and Real could easily replace him and still achieve the same results.

Link? I clearly remember stating at that time, that it was the smart move. When I said Madrid wouldn't miss Ronaldo much was at the peak of their 3peat run.

[Bynumite]

As usual, your takes are awful FAP and i'm gonna expose you every single time :lol

Found the quotes, here you go:




If I was Madrid I wouldn't doubt one bit about selling him. They would get more than 200 million for a 32 year old that has marginally relevance on the results of the team. Sell him at the highest point of his career and go sign the future star(s) of the Club.


Madrid just won, pretty easily, an European trophy minus Sidenaldo. It's not that difficult to find players able to take advantage of some of the many chances per game the best team in the World creates for its forwards, tbh.



I guess you were just trolling again, right? :lol

That's irrelevant. Ronaldo left Madrid as the reigning 3peat CL champion. Since his departure, Madrid couldn't go past the round of 16 twice, now is struggling to get out the group stage. After making 8 consecutive semi-finals with Ronaldo.

So Madrid got old and washed up immediately after Ronaldo left? :lol They still had the same team + the ballon d'or winner + Zidane is back + invested €350 million in transfers in 2019 alone.

Your assessment that Ronaldo was barely relevant to the team's results, also wouldn't be hard to replace, if madrid simply bought new players was wrong. You were wrong back then and you're still wrong now.

Yup. But whenever they get a chance for a counter they move up and then quickly take the speed out and play sideways, drives me crazy. Teams have figured that out. They are too slow, rely on crosses when they have no threat niside the box...

They're both declining. Messi scored nearly all the goals against Liverpool, same shit. Ronaldo didn't do enough against ajax and lyon, period. Or you can say the defense failed both of them. If Messi only scored penalties and had zero goals from open play you'd be saying the same shit. Can't have it both ways. I never celebrate Messi penalties and I agree this is the worst season of his career. He needs a change of scenery. Both him and Ronaldo are wasting their final years with some very mediocre teams.

[Bynumite]

No excuses, this is what Ronaldo is there for and he didn't show up.

On another note, Pirlo's commitment to play his old teammates will be his downfall. If de Ligt and Demiral are healthy, Bonucci and Chiellinni shouldn't never see the pitch, outside of cup games and the occasional Serie A game. Imagine starting 36 year old Chiellini coming off an acl tear in a CL knockout stage game :lol Pirlo must want to be sacked or something.

The away goal was a nice consolation prize but Juve's defense is so trash, i can see them conceding at home too.

Juve, like Barca have been horribly mismanaged. They could barely get the ball to Ronaldo. Zero creativity from midfield. You sign a guy to win you CL and then the best midfielder you bring that summer is Emre Can? And then give him a manger with zero experience?! Getting Ronaldo was a huge coup for Juve but the crap they have surrounded him with outside of De Ligt, and a handful of other players is terrible. But this was also the worst Juventus match outside of the first Barca one. They’ll win this at home, Porto needed that third goal.

[lefty]

Had they played Bayern, PSG, City, even Liverpool, i would tend to agree but context matters.

Even as a fan, i've gotta call it like i see it. Usually, Ronaldo plays solid in elimination games, he didn't do jack shit in both legs this time. Against an inferior opponent playing with 10 men. Embarassing stuff.

He wasn't good in either leg against Porto, but he's surrounded by dead wood (although Chiesa was superb today). With Madrid, if Ronaldo wasn't balls out amazing Ramos, Bale, Marcelo or Benzema would get some crucial goals. Modric and Kroos were phenomenal, best midfield in the world for a solid few years.

Messi had Neymar be immense in 2015 in the knockout rounds. Imagine if just ONE other player helped score in the second leg against Liverpool or Roma (Messi was terrible in the second leg vs Roma).

Yeah, losing to midtable level teams like Lyon and Porto is bad, but Ronaldo is in a brutal situation. You get an amazing once in a lifetime type player in Ronaldo so you hire Pirlo? The team, like Barca, has no plan, no project. Ronaldo and Messi are merely band aids, not a solution with these clubs.

Juventus should never have signed Cristiano Ronaldo, says ex-club chief
Former Juventus president Giovanni Cobolli Gigli has questioned Cristiano Ronaldo's signing after the Portuguese fired another blank as the Bianconeri exited the Champions League.

Asked if bringing in Ronaldo was the wrong choice, Gigli told Radio Punto Nuovo: "Absolutely, yes! I said that on his very first day at Juventus. He is a great champion but is too expensive.

"Now it's up to Juventus. They've been paying him 1m euros per goal. [Juve president Andrea] Agnelli must be self-critical, but he doesn't have great collaborators.

He added: "The club should free Ronaldo at the end of the season and the same goes for Paratici. Maybe Agnelli had promoted him to remove him from his position afterwards. This could be the scenario."

Yeah our midfield was great tbh, although Liverpool didn't apply any pressing and gave Kroos all the time in the world to make his long passes tbh; you can't do that, he's going to make you pay.

As for the CB's , Militao and Nacho were surpisingly good considering their lack of minutes but I'm afraid they won't cut it against Barcelona.

The reason PSG is advancing is because of M'Bappe's performance in the 1st match. Neymar could not get on the scoresheet in 180+ minutes. His go to move is falling to the turf.

They are playing different roles obviously but I can assure you that all PSG fans are more worried when Neymar is out than Killian. If you follow closely this team you will understand Ney importance. All is quite relative of course, for France NT nobody would trade Killian for Neymar, for PSG it is a different story.

On a side note Neymar is growing up, he is more mature and is doing the role of big brother keeping Killian huge ego in check.

RMAO missing Bale so badly tbh

Bale can only get in the Tottenham side against bad teams.
He plays zero defense and still gets taken off completely exhausted.
He still has skill like the other RM players.
But he would have completely got run off his feet like the rest of the RM did.

That was a display of a bunch of young guys up front that can flat out run pestering and nicking the ball off of a slow team. Then Chelsea takes the guys who ran their asses off, and replaces them with other guys who can run. Meanwhile RM puts a 35 yo in the back who can still play, but on a field half the size of a regulation field.

That was pure tactics of we are so much faster than you, go ahead and play around with the ball, we will take it off you and outrun you. Chelsea got away with playing very basic English football. Could have easily been 5-0 if not for some great goal keeping. People might look back and say Madrid stayed in the game, but in actuality, they got embarrassed. And the crazy thing is that Chelsea still might not get in the CL next year if they take the foot off the gas. They have a rigorous schedule left. Two finals and tests against teams that can play against their speed up front.

[pgardn]

Yeah he has scored some nice goals with his right foot tbh

He scored layups.
But credit for being in the right place and making some nice layups.
He is a part of a giant talented team. His skills are super good. Just needs to be a bit faster and be able to go right with ease.

He was never G. Bale who use to be able to outrun people going left. But he does a good job of facing up people and getting them crosslegged. He is hard to handle because he can beat you in a small box, and if you play off him a bit more he can put in wicked crosses. Quick, but not fast. Add the speed that Bale use to have and you got a PSG forward with lots more brains and composure. He is definitely a take for any team.

Foden is a guy on that team that will make Pep stay on.

Failure?

He will stay on and they will not only stroll to EPL champions again in the future, but win the CL as well.
Bank on it. He landed in a great spot.

Chelsea is a very tough team to beat when they put their athletes up top and harass for 70 minutes, and then bring in more athletes off the bench. They showed the same thing against Madrid, they absolutely smothered them in the second game, it was awful.
Pep will learn. You must have not only good players, but really athletic players when Chelsea is at their best. The MC midfield is not athletic. Also N. Kante backing up those really fast harassing wings and forwards is extraordinarily difficult. The german has found a formula that works on some EPL teams, but not all. Chelsea had tougher times facing teams as athletic as they are. The EPL is tough because the very skilled teams can be beaten by athletic teams here and there. Also Chelsea did not score that many goals and missed some proper striker chances, they wont get away with that for a season. It will prevent them from winning the league and the FA cup again.

Which is why I think Villareal beating MU was heroic. They kept composure even when being outrun and just drug it out. MU has allowed the first goal all year long and then come back with a vengance. When MU scored I thought, here we go again, but Villareal hung tough and replaced 4 players while MU did not have the backups to score again so they foolishly let it go into the crapshoot and lost. MU also got measure on MC and used athleticism later in the season beating them. Props to Villareal. They are a supremely stubborn group and follow plans to perfection. And this group contains quite a few throwout players from the EPL who performed quite well.
