Beating them does not mean we are a better team than them. I think what he's trying to say is, they would not be starters if we were a world class team. And that's not taking anything away from their great performances.
It depends on what you mean by a world class team. Sure, if we had Real or City money, obviously we wouldn't even be discussing this.
But I've watched Juve for long enough to know that we have had players like Pessotto, Tacchinardi, Pepe, Birindelli, and others who are all decent Italians, but still played a big role in some or many of our seasons. We always had decent hard working players to supplement a couple world class folks like Del Pie and Zizou.
My point is this - we would NOT even be having this discussion if Weah and Mckennie were Italian. And that's always been the double standard here and with this club in general.
