Imagine a hypothetical CL semi-final game between two sides comprised of these players:
La Liga Star XI: Casillas, Alves, Puyol, Ramos, Carlos, Zidane, Iniesta, Xavi, Ronaldo, Suarez and Messi.
Bench: Koeman, Marcelo, Modric, Kroos, Busquets, Neymar, Bale, Benzema, R9.
VS
Premier League Star XI: Cech, Walker, Terry, Ferdinand, Cole, Gerrard, Lampard, De Bruyne, Henry, Shearer, Salah.
Bench: Schmeichel, Van Dijk, Vidic, Neville, Scholes, Viera, Rooney, Hazard, Van Persie.
Imagine first leg being at Anfield and the second leg at Santiago Bernabeu. What would be the aggregate scoreline?
Whoever subs in a DM first wins.
Vieira should already be in ahead of Lampard. Not an out and out DM, but he’d definitely do the job.
Why does 1 team have a sub keeper and 1 don’t?
Prem got a more balanced team tbh. Who’s actually gonna track back in the midfield from la liga.
Would still tip la liga to win but it wouldn’t be an absoutle battering.
For LaLiga team , xavi out Busquets/casemiro in
For Prem , Lampard out , Viera/Roy Keane in
Xavi and Busquets are non-negotiable. You can then decide between Zidane and Iniesta.
La liga crushes premier league squad by miles. This is also assuming they have coaches who would atleast change some of midfielders so that dms are there. However messi and ronaldo at peak with xavi feeding them, i dont think anyone can take on them
Where is Ronaldinho and Rivaldo?
