If City wins EPL and Liverpool or Spurs wins CL, does that make either one of them best team in the world?
How about if Chelsea or Arsenal wins Europa League and then trashes CL winner in SuperCup?
You man, determine best league by simple factor who ever performs well in CL, when I am telling you that EPL at times too competitive that I’m CL teams don’t perform to their best due to number of factors and main one is exhaustion or concentration on domestic league.
Case and point, Liverpool playing full team against Newcastle then playing Barcelona fully rested squad who played pretty much B team in La Liga. Spurs played on weekend with their full squad and lost while Ajax was playing some crappy team on Sunday. Both EPL teams played high intensity football during the weekend while their opponents in CL enjoyed light domestic games.
That is the difference. That is why I always said that EPLs growing financial power and intensity is good and bad. Good because it is getting more Competitive from top to bottom due to new financial streams for all the clubs, no one give an easy game to anyone because they have the quality to do so. It don’t matter when they play and what is at stake. Bad, because this puts a toll in European competitions.
Not mention along with EPL there is League and Fa cup, no winter break and super busy schedule with high intensity. Then these players go to their international teams. For example: most of the spurs players who had barely two weeks to rest before EPL started.
Like I have said for many years, it will only just get better and bigger for EPL. There is still big audience market to capture and after this European competition means more exposure and revenue opportunities not just for top clubs but for all English clubs.
In their previous games, Messi and Ronaldo simultaneously reached their 600th club goals! Ronaldo's goal vs. Inter was his 600th, and Messi's second goal vs. Liverpool was his 600th as well.
Here is the current list of men's footballers (according to Wikipedia) who have 600+ goals. This includes international and professional youth teams, so the numbers are higher for Messi and Ronaldo.
Ronaldo is 103 goals away from breaking Bican's record and is aged 34.
Messi is 114 goals away from breaking Bican's record and is soon to be aged 32.
How many goals do you think either will finish with?
