3 of top 4 were on a team together and they didn't even sniff a Champions League title. Strong statement on individuals not winning trophies in world football.

That front 3 would not have won the UCL even with a bald manager of your choice with prime Milan backline and the best 3 work horse CMs of your choice + every refree decision going your way. Not in today's football anyway.

MNM occupy same spaces when you let them loose. This is like Cancelo x Grealish problem but on steriods.

This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen

It took me a full minute to figure out wtf you meant. “Mbappe was never in barca..? And barca won CL titles..?Huh? OOOOH YEAHHhh, PSG…”

Exact same thing happened to me. It's surprising how playing for a team like that really does feel a bit like wasted time for a lot of players. Not in terms of money but just general relevance.

Man if Mbappe had gone to Madrid two years ago he'd be so fucking scary

Same. Messi at PSG still feels like a fever dream.

3 in top 7 won the UCL together 🥹

All 3 of MSN were in their prime at the time, while Messi and Neymar were already past their prime when they played together with Mbappé at PSG. And 2015 Barca had a much better midfield than 2022 PSG.
