If we expand the conversation to include sequential build-up scenarios, maybe that is not the case, but yes truly an amazing passer of the ball with his direct, fast-tempo, and adventurous forward passing abilities.

@Isaías Silva Serafim @SayWhatIWant @Wiliam Felipe Gracek What’s the shortest unbroken chain you can create connecting a player active today to a player who was playing in the period before World War II? Every link in the chain must be a direct connection meaning each player must have played with or against the next one in the sequence. Every player must also be European ——————————- Stanley Matthews made his professional debut in 1931 Stanley Matthews played with Wolfgang overath https://www.fourfourtwo.com/feature...res-the-greatest-assembly-of-footballers-ever —————————- Wolfgang overath played against Dino Zoff https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/spielbericht/index/spielbericht/1022286 —————————— Dino Zoff played with/against Michel Platini ———————— Michel Platini played against Paolo Maldini —————————— Paolo Maldini played against Cristiano Ronaldo Cristiano Ronaldo is currently active in 2025 Sir Stanley Matthews Wolfgang Overath Dino Zoff Michel Platini Paolo Maldini Cristiano Ronaldo 6 players can you do better? Overath was 28 years younger than Stanley Matthews when they played together The difference in age between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lamine Yamal is 22 years
A beautiful tribute Carlito 86! to the players with extreme longevity in World Football History . This is what separates true Genius from pure Talent and dribbling skills only . went far beyond the "Ordinary" and mediocrity
That’s wicked @Isaías Silva Serafim without goalkeepers now and only sticking to outfield players So I can’t use Zoff and you can’t use shilton

There isn’t a single expert or journalist worth his salt who would suggest that the level of Brazilian football is comparable to the European top leagues in 2025 Not one. And yet Botafogo just beat PSG 1-0 in the club World Cup Club World Cup: PSG stunned by Brazilian champions Botafogo - BBC Sport PSG the same side that demolished Inter Milan 5-0 in the Champions League, the biggest margin of victory in a European Cup/Champions League final ever. Don’t be surprised when some lunatic posts here in the year 2045 that Brazilian football was comparable to European football in the 2020s citing this exact result Exactly how they did when Brazilian teams had some favourable results vs European teams in the intercontinental cup during the 1990s This is how football myths are birthed One off results are weaponized decades later to rewrite history. if you look on ‘shitter’ it has already begun BOTAFOGO STUN PSG 1-0South American champs > European champs 😏 pic.twitter.com/SMrgcbToSq— B/R Football (@brfootball) June 20, 2025 The absolute worst victory of all time (and in a cup of tertiary importance) This tournament is a cash grab and completely rigged anyways These facts should be blatantly obvious to anyone with a single functioning eye.
https://vocal.media/cleats/european-clubs-maintain-dominance-despite-south-american-s-growth This record of 33 consecutive games completely embarrassing South American/Asian/Arabian clubs has now been broken but let’s not pretend as if it never happened Chelsea is a paper tiger(champions of the UEFA conference league lol) PSG had one of the most gruelling seasons ever winning a quadruple and playing in excess of 60 games
But until now ! The participation of European clubs in this 2025 Fifa Club World Cup is very very shameful . "!
No it is not “shameful” it just matters a lot more to you than it does to any European club. This is your badge of honour to parade For European clubs it is a pre season friendly Still your heavyweights will get smoked in the KO rounds just wait and see
i agree with you Carlito 86 ! yes for sure , But Examples for you .. Super Mundialito Of clubs from Fifa in 1981 , 1983, 1985 and 1987 Altobelli's Inter from Milan won 1981 Platini's JUventus won 1983 Claudio Borghi and Frank Rijkaard's Ac Milan won 1987 If you have a competitive spirit, courage, bravery and soul's workRate you want to win every possible match, always; a winning mentality is built like this equally win even in a game of marbles Coppa Super Clubs (Mundialito de Clubs) 1983 San Siro, Milano, 24 June- 2 July 1983 [NB: teams invited by Canale 5, a TV Channel] Participants: FC Internazionales (Italy) AC Milan (Italy) Juventus FC (Italy) CA Peñarol (Uruguay) CR Flamengo(Brazil) [Jun 24] CR Flamengo 2-1 FC Internazionale CA Peñarol 1-0 AC Milan [Jun 26] AC Milan 2-2 Juventus FC CA Peñarol 2-1 FC Internazionale [Jun 28] Juventus FC 0-0 CA Peñarol AC Milan 1-1 CR Flamengo [Jun 30] CR Flamengo 2-0 CA Peñarol [1-0 Junior 21´, 2-0 Baltazar 75´].

they are just excuses Carlito 86 of your part ! Ronaldinho Gaucho himself always says here in Brazil that the most embarrassing game of his entire career was against Inter Brazil in 2006 Fifa Club World Cup, since he played for Gremio FBA in the youth ranks " subs -15 ..17 ", he knew very well the rivalry between him and Inter Brazil. This game against Inter was the biggest defeat of my entire career, totally embarrassing on my part. What happened in this match, the second worst game, was against Cameroon in the 2000 Olympics in Sydney. Cameroon was robbed by the refereeing, with several unfair expulsions, such as Geremi from Chelsea. Even so, we lost badly and in a totally embarrassing way and i have spoken this with Samuel Eto'o at Barcelona years about this Match .Eto'o always laughing this . by Ronaldinho Gaucho . !

the only one European Club that I believe personally is the PSG ...yet playing with more higher intensity and more desire to win using the main starting lineup PSG can still win this competition using the main senior Team ... ... .. but, it shows that European clubs have gotten used to playing against easier teams in Europe all the time because of their financial power and nowadays no longer having a limit on foreigners... this makes things muchmore+++ easier always . !
