The fans broke the barrier

Hope this is enough to advance.

 

[noskey]

I got a feeling y’all are gonna go on one of those like 17 game win streaks again

Me too. This is why a 35-win-season is a must for Arsenal. Can't slip up at all against the MonStars.

On track for a 30 goal season

golazo after golazo

One of the best 9's of his generation but one thing that's been underrated about him was his playmaking ability.

He's got one of the highest assist totals of all time too

MSN was never fair

 

[vtotheinay]

xabi alonso has taken leverkusen from the relegation zone to 8th in table since he's been in charge

 

[fluid hips]

Mbappe wants Bernardo in Paris apparently



I remember Xavi wanted him bad at Barca too last summer. Think he'd end up at another big club first before going to Benfica

Just realized Mbappe played with Falcao.

Mans definitely taught him some things

 

[fluid hips]

United should swoop in and get Vlahovic

Wasted $100 mill on Antony

Remember MSN vs BBC? That was peak La Liga

That was not peak la liga

Galacticos era was peak la liga
2000-2010

That Monaco squad that bounced us from the Champions League was . Young(er) Mbappe, Falcao, Bernardo Silva, Lemar, Bakayoko, Fabinho, Mendy

Obviously sucks getting bounced but looking back that was a helluva tie with some f’ery in the 2nd leg. Think the agg was 6-6 or 7-6

Thought it couldnt get more heartbreaking but Madrid last year said hold my beer

what does it mean?

Sorry but you’re just wrong. In the decade you’re referencing, clubs like AC Milan, Bayern Munich, and Manchester United were just as good, if not better than Real Madrid and Barcelona. During the MSN/BBC era, Real Madrid and Barcelona were clearly head and shoulders above the rest of the world. Not to mention the fact that Spanish clubs also dominated the Europa League during this time.

My point still stands and you just proved my point. All the leagues were balanced with each league having 2-3 teams performing consistently. The quality of players were much better and they were spread out between the leagues. Having money to buy players didn't guarantee you success.

La liga had tough opposition in champions league with italian, british, Portuguese, french, German teams

The era you referenced was when other leagues started struggling financially and teams couldn't afford players to compete. Certain clubs could afford and started hoarding players. That's what barca and madrid did. All that spending eventually caught up to barca and they can't rely on refs to bail them out like they used to.
