While they still are some of the most talented squads (if not THE most talented), people take for granted that teams like ManU, RMadrid, and FCBarcelona make mistakes just like any team. I personally love Madrid but it's annoying even when fans of Madrid just assume that they can destroy other teams because they have a more talented team. There's an element of unpredictability to every football match, even when you aren't playing strong sides like Bayern or Chelsea.

It's hard to win CL back to back. It shouldn't be a shock that Barcelona didn't.

Kaka: 65 million euros, Ronaldo: 94 million euros. Being German in a penalty shootout: Priceless

Neuer was pretty ice cold on the Ronaldo and Kaka PKs...

Kroos probably felt like they already had the pk shootout in their pockets. :lol:
I wouldn't let Lahm shoot pk's anyway. :lol:

How can you claim such a thing while not even knowing the CL finalists? :lol:

Still, you're probably right. The gap has closed a lot this season, though.

IMO if you don't win your domestic league, you are not the best team in that league/world.

On paper maybe. But United have Fergie, and that's always a massive difference.
