We are not talking about Villa here. We are talking about true legends of the game you numbskull. Messi is great at club level, but sucks balls for his country. Explain that. Cruyff, Platini, Maradona, Fat Ronaldo, and Zidane all had something in common. They were consistent and showed up for both club and country.
Maradona may not have won a CL title, but he led Napoli to 2 serie A titles, and they almost won the CL. Serie A was extremely competitive back then, so it wasn't easy to get into the CL with only the champions being assured entry.
