Ronaldinho was a legendary player. Won everything and played with joy. I'm sad we didn't see more of his genius seeing that he fell of hard at only 28. Look at messi at 30 going on 31 still doing great things. Look at c ronaldo at 32 going on 33 still doing great things. That too should have been ronaldinho :mjcry:crazy what alcohol and partying can do to a player. Another footballer we didn't see the full potential of was the Brazilian ronaldo.

If Arthur Gomes has his breakout year like I expect, Bruno Henrique builds on last year, and Rodrigao can keep scoring goals like this I really like our chances this year with or without Gabi.



It was against Linense, but Arthur’s brace is encouraging for what he has in store this year...

Only thing that might allow PSG win against RM is their attack. Madrid's midfield would nullify's PSG's midfield every single day of the week.

Only top class midfielder that PSG have is Veratti and he isn't even better than Casemiro. Rabiot and Draxler can't step up to Modric and Kross.

If Ronaldo and Benzema can start firing again, then it's a wrap.

PSG gonna get exposed. Emery ain't the man for the job.

I was with you until RIGHT THERE.

I just....:wow:

I agree that PSG/Madrid won't be the bloodbath people are saying it will be but...I just wholeheartedly disagree with that statement. But you are right if there's going to be any difference makers its going to be Modric and Kroos.

I may have overstepped that one. Veratti and Casemiro aren't really the same type of midfielder.

Casemiro is your standard defensive midfielder, he could honestly even play at CB. Veratti is more box to box and is far more offensively inclined.

But if we are speaking about defensive capabilities then Casemiro has Veratti locked down.

PSG midfield offensively is amazing, Verrati, Rabiot(super underrated), Pastore,Draxler(he can play in a mid3), Lo Celso(best Argentine under 23 #10) ar3 all good ball players but what PSG need and should look into buying is Kante since he's French and fills a need I'm sure money wouldn't be an issue or a holding midfielder of his type. Having someone like that behind any of the offensive players I named above would balance the team more I think.
