Champions League Thread (the dawn of time - 2014)

[Dr. Pepper]

This is the problem with the awards being at the end of the calendar year. At the end of last season, he'd have walked into the team but now I wouldn't have him close to the first 11 tbh.

Buffon
Lahm -- Ramos -- Silva -- Alba
Xavi -- Pirlo -- Iniesta
Messi -- Falcao -- Ronaldo​

Why Ibra?

And no RVP.

 

[Epic]

Serie A bias.

And no RVP.

Was a tough decision, but thought Zlatan came better off the two in the Milan v Arsenal Champions League showdown. Milan's midfield was painfully bad last season and without Zlatan, I don't know if they would have even made the Europa League this season........

@Epic: I'm the only guy to not have Buffon in my playing XI......

Ah, didn't see that.

Any particular reason you went with Neuer? I mean, in my eyes Buffon, Casillas and hell even Cech out did him in the last year or so.

 

[Haarithan]

Buffon and Casillas were fairly error prone on the domestic front in 2012. Neuer on the other hand was just outstanding from what I'd seen.

 

[Bevab]

He was quite good versus Real Madrid from what I know.

Was that it? Hardly justified then. Falcao was more important to Atletico and still is, Arsenal were nothing without RVP and Man Utd rely on him very heavily too.

 

[StinkyBoHoon]

neither of them scored an over head kick from like a mile away from the goal though.

Please tell me what Milan and PSG were/are without Zlatan last/this season respectively........

 

[Bevab]

Exactly. Zlatan's really an indispensable player at nearly every club he's played (except Barca of course).

 

[thedon5]

This one is slightly better. Though Pique shouldn't be there.

 

[Dr. Pepper]

Ashley Cole's not even the best left back in England. Really don't understand how he's still so highly rated.
