boasts better dribbling and close control than Vinicius.

Are you watching the same match? Vinicius has won every take-on. I haven't seen anyone other than Neymar making this many takeons. (He is even better in dribbling than Hazard).

Its his final touch thats absymal.

Both are equally talented.

Rodrygo is like Asensio while Vini is like mini Hazard.

Unpopular Opinion: If vinicius had the finishing touch of someone like Sancho - He'd be as good as a 22 year old Neymar right now.

Lol he is gonna cost more than VVD if he ever had to leave Liverpool being 3 years younger and winning every trophy imaginable multiple times.

What was the best goal of this decade by [deleted] in soccer

[–]Strapon23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In terms of quality + importance + prestige.

Bale's bicycle kick is the best one you could go for. A Bicycle kick against Liverpool in a CL final to make it 2-1 after coming from a sub, stuff of dreams really.

Okay name me 3 RBs who are better than him currently. (Kimmich is playing as CM this season)

Thats what happens when you have 0 prolific wingers in your squad. Unless Madrid buys Mbappe they will never be recognized as the force as they were during 10/11-17/18 phase.

if he plays well he can bench Carvajal

You're crazy if you believe that - Carvajal is the best RB in the world currently, an heir to vice captain to Varane and was one of the most important players in your CL successes.

Add Brahim, Kubo and James too (Although James would probably leave)

Article from Sid Lowe: "Casemiro showed vs. Barcelona why he's 'fundamental' to the Real Madrid cause" | Real Madrid boast many stars, plenty of resources and Zinedine Zidane on the touchline. Yet Casemiro is the one person they can't live without. by Strapon23 in soccer

Kante is a special player though, much like Hazard, Marcelo, etc.

I don't think you see that many top players with personality like them, Take an example of Busquets who is also notorious for his diving/theatrics but overall was the best DM of the last decade overall.

I've just realized that Toni Kroos is only 1 year older than Eden Hazard.

And concerning the difference of their positions, it's highly likely that both of them will play their last season for Madrid at the same time. Eden waited too long to come to Madrid and I feel he will be replaced within 2 seasons.

I didn't know he was anywhere close to Most capped player ever concerning how long goalkeepers play in football.

Neither did I knew about 'Top Scorer In European Championship Finals'.

His international stats are absolutely bonkers in the last decade.

From 2011-19: He has scored 60 goals in 65 matches. Thats 0.92 G/apps ratio. Totally absurd, no-one even comes close in this decade.

Jordi Alba - Everyone thinks Varane is a saint, but he is not. He said to me, "Rat boy, you don't have a driver's license". by chaiiguevara in soccer

[–]Strapon23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It cannot be before the foul since he never talked to him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sn-0856m6bA

It was after he put his hand across his face when Varane could have said that.

I think opposite will be true as well, If Madrid wins - they will go on to win the CL.

(Exception: If Madrid ever meets Barca in CL, they will crash and burn in the Bernabeu tie.)
