I know I'll get abuse for this one too but Dybala is in that same tier as Isco. They're good players, very good even, but they're not as good as the best attackers around that are not named Messi and Ronaldo. I think the fact that they're very stylish and play for teams that pulverise most opponents they play means they're rated a little higher than they should be.

Mourinho had Ronaldo again, won feck all with Madrid.

Zidane is far too underrated, 2 UCL consecutively and the first league title in 5 years for Madrid is no mean feat.

That's unfair as well since that Madrid team had a serious mindbock with the CL and Mourinho really had to try hard to get them past the round of 16. I'd say Mourinho definitely laid the foundations for the more resilient Madrid you see

Mourinho was a disaster and Zidane a success. No need to make it any more complicated. Agree with Tony.

Swap Ronaldo and Higuain tonight and Juventus would probably be 3-1 up. He's that good.

Exactly.

Why don't you put your United shirt back on?

It was a throwaway comment that I actually typed in after the second goal. But for some reason you've latched onto and taken seriously. But then you do post some peculiar things quite often.

Where do you put Bale, the guy that Isco is rightfully keeping on the bench?

Think Mirth was being sarcastic. He cannot be serious in crediting Mourinho for Madrid's 3 UCL wins after he left.

Ramos is such a dirty fucker.

Better than Isco without question but still not as good as someone like Robben when he's in full flow or Sanchez.

What a cheating wanker Ramos is.

Ramos is a piece of shit.

So I'm supposed to just know what is serious or not serious, What is throwaway and not throwaway?

It's not like your posting style is consistent or particularly distinctive.

Ramos is a filthy cunt but what is the ref thinking There? Idiot.

That's pathetic refereeing too.

Ramos is a cancer to football.

Incredible the ref bought that.

Where exactly did I credit Mourinho for the 3 CL wins?

I'm just trying to point out that a lot of arguments flying around here are simplistic and really don't take into account how Madrid - as a club - have changed in response to Barcelona's dominance in 2009-2012.

Zidane's underrated, sure, but he's not the sole architect behind this Madrid team.

Commentator says Kroos controlled the game, he didn't. Modric has been much more impressive for me.

It sounds harsh but I've always resented Juves dominance in Italy. 

Having said that this is their most likeable team. They're professional, skillful, intelligent. We could only dream of playing footy like they did against Barça.
