Got to think that Brighton, Bournemouth, Brentford and Fulham are all close to making runs to finals, all four teams showing that they can beat any team on their day in the league over the past year or three. Just need a bit of luck and or consistency and you're there.
I think people need to separate general standards in Europe and specific years where particular things happen in competitions. Chelsea have had zero games to worry about so far. Zero. The final is the first decent side imo. They should win but can't take it for granted. Utd should have been out of Europe v lyon. They got the breaks. Thry did well v bilbao who gave up Spurs beat frankfurt who have done OK in Europe. Usually you get a better Italian contribution to both competitions. Usually thr Spanish do better and are ha4der Used to have parachute cl clubs. But it's also rare a club can basically sack off the league for 3 months to solely focus on one comp. the midtable sides still need the squad ro get 35 points to have that run and then they will be picking up the peices for the following season.
He's done a great job there. He also somehow looks younger than he did at Spurs, we did well to not kill him off I think
Scott McTominay (ex Manchester United with a dearth of goalscoring midfielders) with 18 goal contributions.
Kylian Mbappe wraps up his debut season at Real Madrid by breaking 30 league goals, breaking 40 goals in all comps and winning the European Golden Shoe.
That's nice. Won nothing at all. The french Harry kane. Real campaign for balon d'or will start immediately.
A bayern player without a league medal? As impossible. It still took 2 goes to get one Come back when kane's got a cl medal. Again what is Mr mbappe win? I seek to recall arsenal shredding them
So we're just disregarding the club trophies won in certain countries and also dismissing the trophies he's won for his country and then considering him trophyless. I get you. Pele was pretty shit too wasn't he? Don't think he won a single trophy in Europe
And Madrid haven't gone over 5 without a title in about 70 years, so Mbappe will be winning one soon enough.
Doesn't change the fact he stood there watching arsenal rip them apart and did nothing does it? That's the point. They've been well second best all year with him stood up there waiting for someone to carry the work load.
As did Ronaldo half the time but the service was a lot better. Benzema has been a big miss for them because he knitted the attack together. Real's attack looks more like the PSG attack of Neymar/Messi/Mbappe. PSG got rid of them and now have a better team. Mbappe will get the numbers over a season but doesn't always produce in big games.
The guy has four goals in World Cup finals alone. This era of demanding perfection in football is mad. You can't win every trophy and turn up in every single game. It was a slow start but otherwise a decent debut season for Mbappe. The club trophies will come there and it's not like he's short of them already.
What was the 'point' exactly? Because you appeared to be saying that Mbappe has won nothing at all and is the French Harry Kane. A 'point' that immediately contradicts itself by comparing him to a player who has actually won something, which regardless of that the Frenchman actually has won things too. As ever with your posts, you spoke absolute drivel, then backed it up with a contradictory argument that dismisses your own initial 'point'.
