If they are in the mood and are fully concetrated then Real is far away the best team in club football but that counts for little if they are not up to it on the day
By the way everone is better than Flavio
Buffon Vs cassillas 2 very talented keepers , both good shot stoppers, but Iker likes to parry most of his, both not so gr8 on crosses and Buffon just has the edge
salgado vs Thuram Thurma wins this but salgado is better going forward and is having a very good season
Carlos vs Zambrotta one winner and he plays for Brazil
Hierro vs Ferrara 2 ancient limbs, 2 talismatic xters in defence but Ferrara is less prone to howlers while Hierro is a better all round player but Ferrara is the better defender at this point in time
Montero vs Helguera 2 years gao there wont be any comparisims but Montero has lost form while Helguera is really a midfielder and a very classy one at that but at the back he like Hierro take too many chances by trying to back heel balls they should be clearing out, thats how he scored the own goal at old trafford
Montero might just edge it but Helguera is getting better as a defender as he does throw himself at shots
Tacchi vs Flavio probably the only midfielder in Real , i rate Tacchi over as Flavio is quite incredibly bad, cannot believe he is Brazilian
Makele vs Davids very hard call, as they are both hard working and are both inspirational, Davids is flashier but Makele does more hard work without the praise he deserves as he makes the stars shine whereas Davids sometimes unbalances the team. Would prefer both in my team but Makele is more useful, tie for me
Figo vs Camoranese Figo every time of the week even if he is really in decline, at his best when he was barcelona there won't be any comparism whatsoever
Zidane vs Nedved, Nedved has had a phenom,enal season and big up to him but what he would do in 10 mins Zz will do in 10 secs, not his fault , he was not blessed with Zz's natural skills and vision, noone compares to Zz, I am afraid
Raul vs Dp my 2 ultimate faves, at thier best,Dp is the more natural talent but noone has Raul's brain in football and his all round play is better as well, Dp beats in dribbling, quicker feet and dead ball situations but Raul wins in finishing and while Dp seems to be on the wane , raul's star is still shining , Raul also has the better big game mentality but will always want both in my team
Ronaldo vs Trez one has had 2 carreer ending knee injuries but is still quicker that the other, guess who, Trez is probably the deadlier finisher of the 2 but very few teams if any will pick him over the brilliant brazilian
Subs bench
I reckon Real's bench will reach the quarters of Cl, they are that good with Cesar, Pavon, Miniambres, Bravo, Cambiasso, Solari, Celades, Guti, Morientes, Portillio
while ours will struggle in nationwide division one against portsmouth
