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 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] I_like_trains_mkaay@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] nykgg@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

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 2 years ago

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

[–] ToedCarrot@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] therealopm@alien.top 1 points 2 years 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 2 years 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

[–] Todrag5@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Where is Ronaldinho and Rivaldo?

[–] ilyas_041@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

La liga would win 4-1

[–] pedomilfhunter@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

1 player for from the team which won 20 titles haha

[–] Spiritualcomp@alien.top 1 points 2 years 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.

[–] SKULL1138@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ronaldo, Bale and Suarez could be playing against themselves.

[–] R7TS@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Especially Ronaldo, he should be in EPL .

[–] montiel_scores@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] PreviousAd1596@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Man u Ronaldo?

[–] Famous-Finger5924@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

WHat's the point?

[–] punkdrummer22@alien.top 1 points 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago

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