It’s ok, he won 2007. I’m fully at peace with 2005 because of this. If he didn’t, I’d probably still be pissed off as hell

Not disagreeing, but none one ever talks about the 2007 win. It doesn't come up in any arguments, doesn't make any lists. It was a normal final, nothing spectacular. 2005 on the other hand....

This is why I never liked him
I am not a fan because he wilts in CL which is counter to his persona but absolutely believe him on that time at Bara with Pep and Messi - he was killing it and they sidelined him like they did with others to keep the status quo

More than one thing can be true

Don't clubs like Manchester United and Chelsea destroy the whole "net spend" argument?
I agree that the myth of net spend promising success is well and truly broken.

My point was more that Real Madrid are run (somewhat) sustainable compared to the likes of City, United, and Chelsea, who have significant net spends over the past decade. They have always sold players well (Ronaldo, Casemiro, Odegaard are recent examples).

To me the best run club in the world by far. the sad part is, we weren’t far behind them 20 years ago, and they haven’t gotten here through ludicrous premier league TV deals either.

I just like reminding everyone that Milan has more than twice the amount of CL titles as Inter.

Don Carlo's greatest achievement.
I love that man but I wake up in terror

We need to vaporize Real Madrid fans in the forum

Thanks for 2007



God I miss Silvio so much

Real are subsidized by the Spanish government, let's not go crazy now.

Every football conversation I have includes me saying that we won the CL in 2007 at some point.

Especially effective when conversing with Juventus fans

So we are forgetting that Real has been bailed out by the state and the city of Madrid on several occasions?

Don't you guys understand that Real is basically the Juventus of Spain?

I don’t get how you can be a Milan fan and talk shit about Ancelotti and call him names

He’s a Milan legend and a gentlemen of the highest order.

Easy top 3 of all time at this point I don’t think that’s debatable

He joined on 12th of March

Inter got knocked out on the 13th of March

You do the maths bro

I didn't see Istanbul, fan since 2006. But I saw plenty of Carlo failing in other clubs (and us post 2007) when he did not have best team in the world

Yeah that’s at least on par with Istanbul IMO

And for Coruna?


PSG bottled a 4-0. That’s already worse.

6-1 in the 2nd leg.

I've surrounded myself with quite a lot of football fans over the years. I think of it as a miracle because in this country the sport isn't very popular. Some of those fans cheer for clubs such as Juve or Inter. Champions league is never discussed between us.

Di maria
Ozil
Higuain


All to improve the team. Hence why I'm not against selling lmeao for 175. Get money and reinvest it

Meanwhile Milan got attached to scrubs like suso and bonaventura.

What makes Istanbul a considerably biggest failure is that one team was World Class and best team in the world, by far, and the other team was an underdog that never should have reached the final.

Give me one CL win in the next 5 years and I can milk that for the next 20.

2007 is starting to become a bit of a weak argument nowadays :lol:

This is what I also don't understand, people want us to be like Madrid but don't want to sell star players.

I don't usually bring up 2007 unless it's talking to a Liverpool fan. The 1994 is a much better game to bring up.

Fully agree. It’s all about those big magical nights in Europe.

We grew up spoilt. CL semis basically every year under Ancelotti. The excitement from last year’s semi finals run… it’s been a long time since I felt that. Even the scudetto didn’t compare for me.

lol yeah

CL SF felt massive last season. I loved it and the vibes.

Carlo gave us that for year after year during his time in here.

Forever grateful.

Milan got me into football but it’s the way Carlo approached the way Milan played in the 2000s is what truly got me into football.

We were the most fun team to watch. Thanks to Carlo

I don’t know what’s worse, a 2PM midweek game in the US or a 2AM midweek game in Asia

Europeans have it good
