He can dunk once, but then he’ll have to ice his knees for like a week.

And neither did “Quinta del Buitre” 30 years ago. But people remember them, unless you’re Billy apparently.

We all know there was contact and it was intentional but Ramos was a bit dramatic. And of course haters will try to find something to bitch about after the mighty calciopoli Juve failed to vanquish the evil Madrid. 

Shouting: “Fuck you, I’m Millwall

That’s usually what happens in the days after you’ve been heavily drinking and say/do stupid stuff whilst drunk.

It’s hard to imagine anyone talking about this team in 10 of 15 years outside the context of a simple recitation of their achievements. Even less clear is what influence the team will have going forward. The only lesson appears to be that it’s a good idea to buy a whole bunch of inordinately talented players, keep…

With the exception of Buffon, unlikely! Navas does not inspire confidence that Buffon/Casillas et al does. Though he has improved tremendously over the last few weeks. Also remember that Buffon plays in a league that emphasises defense over attack. It is easier for any goalie to look much better behind a solid…

At least there was some contact.

They were probably just wondering why Real were even bothering to celebrate, as their win means nothing because they didn’t innovate tactically.

Are you one of those dipshits?

If Messi scored 9 freaking goals from the QF round to the Final of the Champions League (not to mention against 3 of the best teams in the world) there’d be an article twice as long as this one on his greatness after each round.

Milan did not win the CL back to back, they won in the season 2002-03 and a second time in the season 2006-07. Real Madrid is the first tem to have won the CL two times in a row.

Finally, Gigi Buffon is a better goalkeeper than Keylor Navas, even at 39.

serious. how does deadspin keep giving this guy articles, he’s an embarrassment to all american soccer fans

In Bill’s world, if it is not EPL, it’s crahp....

there is no way Im reading this article. Been fooled by Billy into reading 37 paragraphs of drivel way too many times.

I am not at all underwhelmed by Real Madrid’s success. Yes, it takes money, but they’re competing against other big-money clubs in this era, and have won 3 of the last 4 Champions League titles. Money alone doesn’t guarantee European success (ask Manchester City and PSG).

Billy Haisley wrote all the words and doesn’t have much to show for it.

Fernando Alonso $305K....that would kind of be a life changing sum of money for me and most people, but for him thats like...he could literally place that sum in a shoebox and hand it to a random person on the street and never miss it. 40m annual salary with McLaren.

You admit you nothing about the league yet you want to make comparison. You’re clearly not in a position to do so. Here are La Liga’s teams 7 to 17. See Celta Vigo. Could’ve easily kicked out Man U from the Europa League. That competition judges the “lesser” teams. And this is the first time in a while Spain will not…
