Michael Cox is cheeky about that 96/97 quote about Zidane complaining. He basically played the whole year round 95/96 season and went missing in the Euros that summer. Bordeaux season started 30th Jun 95 and France lost to Czech on 26th Jun 96. :hubie:

Zidane was a 10 though
Iniesta was an 8

I'll be honest, I'll take Iniesta too. His ball control is even better and didn't lose the ball alot. I feel like the midfield is much more safer with him. Zidane lost the ball always trying to get his Bruno on. I think a Iniesta and Vieira midfield is just as formidable and probably beats Italy in that finals

Scorch wylin for that Debruyne comparison though

I'm picking De Bruyne for a 38 game season :manny:

Zizou for a 4 week tournament :manny:

It's only nostalgia that has Zidane ahead, breh. Iniesta was simply better. :manny:

I told a brudda at work once Lampard was a more productive player than Zidane and that had half the office wanting to throw hands :lolbron:



Wait till I tell them he's actually a better manager too :patrice:
I don't see a single thing iniesta does better than Zizou personally. :manny:

Inter and Napoli?

Lille played Milan better than those 2 did. Absolutely raped pillaged and plundered Milan at the San Siro and the return game was more even. The difference what Lille have compared to the Serie A teams, is youth and energy. Which is the exact same thing Milan have excelled at over the rest of the Serie A teams since the restart.

Inter game once the defence and midfield stopped the ball getting thru to Lukaku and giving him no space, he was ineffective and their game plan went to shyt.

Napoli game, Milan was always in control. Yeah Napoli do what Napoli do, which is create loads of chances, but it wasn't like precious occasions where you thought they would get hammered.

only team playing at an elite level right now is Bayern. a healthy Liverpool would do them in since they've lost Thiago. But that's besides the point. Every other big team can make the finals because midfield quality overall has regressed. so for them to say neither United or Psg stand a chance in making the finals is just ridiculous. Bayern barely beat PSG this in the finals and Psg didn't even have a fit Verrati. what other teams out their you think that would definitely knockout Psg and Manu?

Sevilla would knock Man U out 9/10 ...
