I really hope we stop this stupid obsession of 'building the team around X player'. This is one of the reasons why the Italian game is behind.
The last three CL winners have shown how having a modern, well balanced team can help you go far in CL. I think it's always been the case tbh, just that the likes of Barca and Madrid won those CL's on the back of two generational players.
Chelsea had a dud upfront, still dint stop them from completely outplaying City. City weren't even playing with an out and out CF leading up to the final. These are the best teams in Europe that we are talking about.
Can we go back to being a 'team' again please? If bringing in a top class holding midfielder means selling Ronaldo and/or Dybala, then so be it.
