ScoRoss Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Nicely edited before it shows Brighton are apparently the 18th best team in the world... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Real Madrid is currently #1 when it comes to common sense though. Since, well, you know, they won the Champions League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning a cup doesn't make you the best team in the world, the ranking of 6th place is probably correct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cicero Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Think the table is pretty accurate if I'm being honest. Real won the Champions League but it was very much a tactical grind to do so. Relied on a lot of luck as well as Benzema putting in Balon d'Or performances. I'd put them above PSG and us but Liverpool, City, Bayern are ahead.

("Real Madrid is currently #1 when it comes to common sense" ) ...think i will stick with the global rankings instead mate ..lets face it, the CL has very little merit anyway, Chelsea won it from mid table and if Liverpool had won it this year they wouldn't even of been the best team in England ..no, these rankings are correct, top 3 100% 4-6 not a lot in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not the Champions League? Teams that win the Champions League tend to always be clubs that have won it already given the amount of pressure that is off them in comparison to clubs with zero European pedigree.

Correct, cups are nice to win but they don't make you the best team in the world for reasons i pointed out above. if we had a super league the top 3 would be us, Liverpool and Munich with you, Madrid & PSG fighting it out for 4th going off this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year we was very unlucky with the mad few minutes in injury time, don't think that would of happened if Walker didn't go off injured and we hammered Madrid at the Etihad ..Liverpool may well of done us in the final with the players we had out injured, especially Dias and Walker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real Madrid beat Liverpool in the Champions League final, therefore they are the better team on paper. If Liverpool were better, they'd have won. If Rangers were better than Frankfurt they'd have won the Europa League final, but we weren't, so we didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
