Imagine a hypothetical CL semi-final game between two sides comprised of these players:


La Liga Star XI: Casillas, Alves, Puyol, Ramos, Carlos, Zidane, Iniesta, Xavi, Ronaldo, Suarez and Messi.

Bench: Koeman, Marcelo, Modric, Kroos, Busquets, Neymar, Bale, Benzema, R9.

VS

Premier League Star XI: Cech, Walker, Terry, Ferdinand, Cole, Gerrard, Lampard, De Bruyne, Henry, Shearer, Salah.

Bench: Schmeichel, Van Dijk, Vidic, Neville, Scholes, Viera, Rooney, Hazard, Van Persie.


Imagine first leg being at Anfield and the second leg at Santiago Bernabeu. What would be the aggregate scoreline?

Whoever subs in a DM first wins.

[–] yajtraus@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Vieira should already be in ahead of Lampard. Not an out and out DM, but he’d definitely do the job.

[–] nykgg@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Viera is so many miles clear when it comes to consistent brilliant output game in game out

[–] I_like_trains_mkaay@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Personally id go with Vieira and another defensively capable CM, like yaya.

Why does 1 team have a sub keeper and 1 don't?

Prem got a more balanced team tbh. Who's actually gonna track back in the midfield from la liga.

Would still tip la liga to win but it wouldn't be an absoutle battering.

For LaLiga team , xavi out Busquets/casemiro in

For Prem , Lampard out , Viera/Roy Keane in

[–] bigelcid@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Xavi and Busquets are non-negotiable. You can then decide between Zidane and Iniesta.

[–] therealopm@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Xavi and busquets are non-negotiable but not Zidane who isn't just one of the best midfielders of all time but is also considered a top 10 player ever?

[–] lollypop44445@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

La liga crushes premier league squad by miles. This is also assuming they have coaches who would atleast change some of midfielders so that dms are there. However messi and ronaldo at peak with xavi feeding them, i dont think anyone can take on them

La liga would win 4-1

[–] slash312@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

La Liga could only be challenged by Serie A. I would say the premier league has the weakest all time of the top leagues.

[–] bigelcid@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I'd say La Liga>Serie A>EPL>Bundesliga

[–] pedomilfhunter@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

1 player for from the team which won 20 titles haha

[–] SKULL1138@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ronaldo, Bale and Suarez could be playing against themselves.

[–] R7TS@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Especially Ronaldo, he should be in EPL .

[–] Spiritualcomp@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Gerrard being in a premier league XI is an actual crime

Replace him with Keane, Viera, Makelele or Essien and the team is much better.

[–] PreviousAd1596@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Man u Ronaldo?

[–] Famous-Finger5924@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

WHat's the point?

[–] montiel_scores@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Both of these midfields wouldn’t work well, 0 defense

[–] punkdrummer22@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Depends which leagues rules they play by.

Defense is a hell of a lot better in the EPL and physically much tougher and faster

La Liga they have more time with the ball and you get touched its a foul.

La liga has the more skilled players for sure though

[–] itisnotstupid@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Salah vs Ronaldo/Messi/Suarez is funny. Like Suarez has more talent in his left nail compared to Salah....and I like Salah kinda.

[–] Coastis@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Impressive, this thread contains some of the worst takes i've ever read on the internet.
