So who would be the best team in Europe in years when the European Cup winners donā€™t win their league?

342

Seriously.

Let it go ffs.

343

Shush. Heā€™s on full tilt this week.

Letā€™s see how long it continues.

Iā€™d say man city this season. Cup competitions have flukey results and basically anybody can win them. It takes special teams to win the league and European cup in the same season. Barcelona, inter, Real Madrid, man united and Bayern have done it in the last 20 years or so. Porto too and possibly ac Milan albeit Iā€™m not positive on that.

depends on who the poster you are discussing it with. Its a fluctuating set of parameters to suit the argument at hand, and the argument doesnt necessarily have to be consistent with previous debates.

That means Tottenham are English football

Celtic were the first Northern European team to win the European Cup

That means Celtic are Northern European football

Feyenoord were the first Dutch team to win the European Cup

This thread is gone to shit.

Man City havenā€™t even reached a European Cup semi-final in the last three seasons

Manchester United won the European Cup in 1968 yet you said they ARE English football

@Fran
Is there any chance youā€™d change your avatar mate? Itā€™s revolting.

356

Theyā€™ve won the league though. Thatā€™s a true test of a great side. Winning the league and the champions league in the same season is the bench mark of a great side. Man united are the only English club to achieve this feat in the past 25 years.

357

Are we only counting football in last 25 years?

358

So theyā€™re not a great side

You just said it there in your post

359

Football began in 1994 when the Premier League was formed

That eliminates AC Milan 1994 from the reckoning as a great team

They didnā€™t exist

Football didnā€™t exist

Like Bobby Ewingā€™s death in Dallas, it was all a dream

In the absence of a league/European cup double winning team Iā€™d pick one of the league champions. Man city are the best team in Europe.
