Been saying that for a while now. We won the CL with relative ease in the knockout stages. I can’t think of the last time a club won the CL with that much comfort. 

You've got a cracking young team though. Some of your players have it all to be big stars going into the future.

Well who are the superstars of the next generation? Who takes up the mantle of being the most globally recognised player?

Mbappe, Haaland, De Jong, Pedri, Fati, Foden, Camavinga, Mount, Havertz, etc.

The future looks very bright to be honest, just not necessarily the present.

None of those players are touching superstardom maybe except for the first two.

What is Superstardom? Messi/Ronaldo levels?

Yeah, the level that makes them famous outside of the sport. People that don't watch football don't know who Mount, de Jong, etc are, they do know Cristiano, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Messi, Maradona, etc

How do you know? Pedri and Fati are still 18 and are doing things that you'd expect from players quite a bit older than them would be doing.

You can't predict what happens in the future as players can soon fall off, or injuries can destroy them, but the potential to be stars is definitely there.

Even alot of football fans didn't know who Messi or Iniesta were when I used to rave about the talent they had in 2006. 

Not saying the above will be that good of course as they and C.Ronaldo don't come around often, but they can certainly be generation-type players.

But nobody said they'd be Pele or Maradona either way, just that the future of the sport has alot of talent.
