Five players in all time XI never actually won the European championship title.
Hard to argue against Buffon, Maldini and Pirlo.
Puyol was sh*t.
Casillas won back to back European championships keeping eight clean sheets in 12 games and making saves in two penalty shoot outs.Originally Posted by Kano
Is Buffon a better keeper than Casillas? Yes of course but this is an all time XI that restricts itself to European championships and Casillas has achieved more than Buffon on that stage.
I disagree I think he lost pace in the end, the real weak link in the Spain defence was Pique who I think is possibly the most overrated centre back there has ever been.
Fair enough, always thought Puyol was the weak link at Barca, they often looked a shambles at the back with him playing, never rated the guy, thought he was a headlless chicken.
Jaap Stam is the new Reading manager.
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
This guy?

Yes that guy, he's been lucky to have such great players around him, as a defender though, headless chicken.
Barca had a dodgy defence for years (defensively not the offensively), it was their weakness, the rest of their team was amazing.
