i'm also a massive fan, thus i'm not objective at all, and i don't expect anyone to be objective either.
still, barzagli is probably the most underrated player i've ever seen (and i'm in my late 30's, i've been following football since the early '80s). i fucking love the guy, he's just as good as anyone in this position (bar prime nesta and cannavaro if you take the last 20 years). i put him on par with thuram, and i prefer barza as he's italian and a more likeable, more loyal character. the same goes for marchisio vs emerson: marchisio is homegrown, loyal as it gets, and also supports attacks better, passes better than emerson (who was a beast defensively, i of course give it to him). i consider marchisio a more versatile player, i think he would fit better in the modern game. i'd pick the prime emerson over him any day if i needed a mid for purely defensive tasks, though.
btw the '16 dybala is at least as good as the '06 del piero. capitano still produced some of his magic after his injury, but his speed faded and he became more predictable.

And big lol at people who are already suggesting that Dybala wont ever reach Zlatan's level.We're talking about a fucking 22 yr old carrying the attack all by himself plus who's less arrogant & more hardworking ofcourse.
He has all the tools required to become a top 3 player in the world or perhaps even the best.
For all his exploits in winning league titles,Zlatan's record in knockout cup competitions will always remain a joke and its what separated him from a Ronaldo,Messi or even the likes of Robben and Suarez(albeit lately).

Dont ever doubt that. Right now he is miles ahead of anyone from that 2006 team midfield. The only who could get close (and just taking in consideration performance) was maybe nedved and I even dont think that because he was past his prime in those years, and maybe camo.
The rest were all names and no substance.
No one had magic in that midfield and that was one of the reasons we played sooo bad.
