In the Spanish super cup, wasn't there a photograph of the brawl involving nearly all the players with Kaká stood to the side with his hands on his hips?
Eh to be fair, some of them aren't really the same generation; Mata only has become a star player in the last couple of years, joaquin is past it, Silva also only became world class in the last couple of years. I don't think Mata was even a regular starter until after Villa left
He was a regular starter Henry, but only recently, as in the past 2-3 years he's been the Mata we all know now. Joaquin was indeed past it, they had some poor coaches too(Koeman comes to mind), there was a lot of instability, they faced financial difficulties and they never had a good defense.
