Cronaldo's stats are indeed insane but I feel he's having the zlatan syndrome .

For the people who wonder what the zlatan syndrome is ( which im sure are many since its more of a thing between me and a friend of me who's a huge inter fan for a decade or so already ) . Its the fact that zlatan was literally ;o_God good vs Calgiari, Bari, atalanta and Chievo but never reached the same level in Chamoions league games for Inter or even in the real classics that mattered vs Juve ac or Roma, or atleast rarely.

As good as Cronaldo has been playing this year, both games vs barca he was invisible and vs Lyon when they needed him he didnt shine either, which is really harsch ofcourse cause he still played a superb season dispite a few injury's..but...... those goals vs zaragoza xerez and getafe are nice but they need him vs barca ;(, hope to see Kaka shine a bit more next year though, he can do it. Maybe if Kaka grows a bit more into the team and less injury's, cronaldo will be able to shine in the top games too, and get rid of the zlatan syndrome, zltan who btw is just not good enough for absolute top, period.


CRonaldo played very well against Lyon, in fact he scored one and even made a few nice passes to Higuain. If anyone has the Ibra syndrome it's Higuain who totally missed in the big games.

Also CRonaldo has scored in so many important games for Manutd I don't see what you mean. His only weakness is like Messi being weak in the national team (which I blame the pressure on.)

Btw I really don't like CRonaldo, but give credit where credit's due.

Ya, I was obviously referring to the big leagues. One of the 6 consecutive league titles that Zlatan has was when he played in Ajax, so you might ignore that one, but it's still pretty good and cool.

I really don't know what to think about Zlatan anymore. It is undeniable that he more often than not fails to take on the role as the match-winner in Champions League, but it's not like it's easy to be the definite #1 player in the definite #1 team in one of the best 3 leagues in Europe (Bundesliga might change that if Inter doesn't beat Bayern though >_< ) as he was in Inter. The Real Ronaldo doesn't have a single Champions League title (!!!), but that doesn't make his dominance in the domestic leagues any less impressive (he had the WC's too though ). Anyone who has been following Serie A and Zlatan for the last 5 years or so knows what an absolute phenomenon he can be, and it's not like he never delivers against good teams (scored the winner in the first El Clasico he played, fuck yeah!). But ya, he's definitely slowly lagging behind the other world stars such as Ronaldo and Kaka due to the constant failures in Champions League.

The situation he's in right now is not acceptable, he's way too good to be rotting away on the bench, and that is something he is likely to do if he stays in Barca and Villa arrives (that man is gonna fit in so well, 30+ league goals next season?). Question is, where can he go? Real is of course not an option, going back to Inter would be humiliating, I don't think either Juve, Milan or Roma (lol, they could never afford him anyway) would accept him. It would be extremely interesting to see if he could adapt to PL. I know he tends to fail vs english teams in CL, but I'm not 100% convinced that he couldn't learn how to kick ass over there. He probably doesn't want to though. =/ The upcoming mercato is gonna be interesting for sure.

Anyways, congratulations to Chelsea, that was very well deserved indeed! I'm just happy that Ancelotti had immediate success over there, and that Man U's dominance was ended (7-1 FUUUUUU, I'll never forget!). But what the fuck is up with all the 7 goal victories? It feels like it's happening every week. XD Makes Mourinho look even more brilliant when you consider how he shut down Chelsea (as well as Barca).

Barca is facing Valladolid in the last round so yeah, they should really win that game. About what you mentioned with barca and their pride/cockiness, it is what makes them a great team but sadly its also what creates their flaws. Just take a look at the CL-semi against Inter, they just completely lost their game when they werent in the lead and played probably their worst game this season. They just dont have that "lets turn this around!" mentality that a pro-team needs, cause they have it too easy and can usually get by by their "lets play football, lets have fun and lets dominate the field" sort of thinking.


i really thought barca played well vs inter in the 2nd leg, just couldn't make a goal within 90 minutes against possibly one of the strongest defenses in the world. i don't think it has much to do with them losing their heads as you say. Considering most of barcas games i've watched this season, barca definitely have a more composed attitude than most other teams i've seen and usually exhibit all-around discipline, winning or losing.

edit: other than busquets, that guy is a crybaby

he's just not a pure "9" like barcelona system needs. Thats why even Bojan has took his place, and when we compare Bojan and Ibra quality the difference is ridiculous. Making those runs instinctively, and be more effective in front of a the goal is what zlatan lacks.

i think bojan fits much more naturally into the barcelona lineup, he's quick, small, comfortable with the ball. but zlatan provides a plan b, especially versus "10 butchers in the box" defenses like chelsea and inter played the last two years, with his height and strength in the box. i mean you can say that barca should have scored 3 times after they subbed bojan for zlatan but that's unfair on zlatan, and is more a reflection on how tired inter was after defending with 10 men for so long. the problem, of course, is that you can't play one of the top strikers in the world in the couple of games a year that they have to break down defenses like that. i would guess that versus most spanish sides, playing bojan would be better for the team, but guardiola can hardly leave zlatan on the bench every game.

ps; the only goal that barca did score was from a mental lapse from muntari who really should have been mentally alert, 20 minutes after being subbed on ;/

anyways, i dont watch the spanish domestic league, that's just my opinion from watching their champions league games

Benfica just won the portuguese championship, and the Lisbon is filled with benfica supporters. Never seen nothing like this before. Not even when a national team wins the FIFA world cup.
Beautiful scenario.



Just skip to the last minute or so of this video

Rofl, I just heard that ''Own goals'' is the (tied with Berbatov) second best ''scorer'' for United this season with 12 goals. XD That's pretty funny. They probably don't feel too good about the fact that two of the players they lost before this season (and never replaced) has scored 62 goals (Tevez with 29 and Ronaldo with 33). United fail.

And Chelsea broke the record for most goals scored! Awesome. Didn't expect that from an italian coach, did you?

FUCK YEA INDEED!!

Drogba winning the Golden boot was the icing on the cake

Great season for Chelsea and the chance to win the double!

The whole team has been amazing the first team to score over 100 goals since spurs in 1960~!!
First team to ever beat the "top 4" in both home and away matches!

CHELSEA CHELSEA CHELSEA!!

Cheers to you too BeaTeR, Waxangel and all 1 or 2 other Chelsea fans that post!

Ancelotti says he wants to win it twice in a row like Mourinho! King Carlo!

Can't wait till the FA Cup final! Carlo has a chance to win the 'real' double that Mourinho didn't. Loved the football they've played this season too. Shame the team didn't make it far in the CL but if Carlo can add fresh new faces this summer I think they'll do better next season.
