Na times have changed old man.
The days of teams dominating for a decade are long gone. Max you're looking at is 5 years imho before a team is broken up and players leave.
Back in Milans time there were very few clubs that could compete with us on a financial level. Now you got atleast 10-15 that can splash the cash. Epl has atleast 5-6 clubs with cash to splash
Also we got lucky in having that backline of Baresi n co which meant we only really had to invest in midfield and forwards
Fairpoint about not winning the league...but they've only come 2nd to the greatest team in the history of English Football. No shame in that at all...and this season they've sewn it up by christmas lmao. Back to back ucl appearances is not to be scoffed at...something Barcelona have never managed despite all that help from referees
The point I think he was making is that it's hard to see this team losing... and that is very much like the milan side of the 90s. 58 games without defeat...whilst this pool side has 1 defeat in 52 games in what is notoriously a difficult league.
5 minutes after Real Madrid destroyed the CL record and was fairly competitive in almost every league run... with multiple coaches...
And 10 minutes after Pep’s Barca basically was the most intimidating team on the planet for several years...
You’re saying this?
Let me tell you... you’re simply not letting any time pass before judging the how “way things work now” truly is
In almost every sport, unless there are very strict salary cap restrictions, you’re going to have peaks and valleys bolstered by a team which has figured out the right system and lasts for several years.
that isn’t going away.
And Liverpool, although it looks like they have taken that next era’s place as the dominant force, still need to prove it out for a few years.
if they do that, then I’ll agree.
