DEBATE: Ranking The Best Teams In Europe This Season! | Sunday Vibes

With the final month of the season upon us, it's time to rank the top teams in Europe by their performances this campaign!
Do Arsenal and Man City's exits from the Champions League count against them? And what about Liverpool following recent defeats to Atalanta and Crystal Palace?
Are Real Madrid as good as their league form suggests? And has Bayern's win over Arsenal salvaged an otherwise disappointing campaign?

Real Madrid came into a season without their 1st choice Gk, 1st choice CBs, without a recognized striker, losing their top DM in Thouameni and best player in Vini for large stretches of the first half of the season even Mendy wasn't available for the firs 2 months and still only lost 1 league game and a copa in extra time to only Atleti, top of their league and into the UCL semis. If ManCity had done something like this I've no doubt they'll be top of everyone's ranking. Because Barça wasn't at it for longer periods this year doesn't make it an easy ride. What? you forgot Girona and Atleti in the 1st half of the season? Last year Barça won the Liga with 10 points and they were incredible defensively that didn't mean La liga was easy. And to everyone saying they are lucky. You said that the last time they beat the 3 best teams in the EPL to win the UCL you also said that Zizou was lucky to do the 3 peat. If this is what you call luck then I'd be happy to be lucky forever if I were Real Madrid.

[@decode3667]

Great point, also ATM had 8 days of rest to prepare & Real Madrid came from another continent 2-3 days earlier to play ATM in CDR. They were better than ATM in 90min but in extra time, ATM was by far better because of fitness.

[@DJJ616]

I think Lille have been better than Brest this year , off performances. Also psv should probably be up here

[@jakemaddocks435]

this idea that city battered real is so 1 dimensional. City lost. Possesion and even chance creation means nothing if you lose. Madrid were more clinical, more qualified in defense, and held their never in the shootout. There is more than one way to football. They did not get "Battered", It was an incredibly mature performance, that's why they have been so dominate in European football for the last century.

[@josetobon6461]

Yessss sirrr!!!! Its sad to say but this is why i stopped watching FD. I LOVE THEM SOOO MUCH BUT their baised analysis towards english teams always stank and has always impeded them when it came to analyzing other teams that are not english in a proper way. Just as you said, just bc City had the ball, doesnt mean they "battered Madrid" most of their shots were OFF TARGET. Meaning Madrid did a fantastic, mature job in defense. If anything that was Madrid's whole game plan, allowing City as much of the ball as possible to hit them in the counter. Its like everyone and their mother has forgotten about other styles of play that isnt possession based. Lets not forget that Madrid's style of play is infinite, they will always adjust to any style as long as it means they WIN!! BC thats what metters at the end, and not if you had 100% possession, or 1000000 passes.

Just because you find a way to sh*thouse a win doesn't make you a better team - it's a cup competition. If you took someone who never watched football before and made them watch the City v Madrid tie, they'd say City were the better team.

[@footballcheck7308]

@@jamesgunn7 It was a 2 legged tie and one team found a way to cross the line. Let's take defense out of the game then. Man City are extremely good in the way they play and Real Madrid are extremely good in adapting to their opponent that's just it. And both ways are acceptable. You might not like it but sorry to inform you. Funny how people don't talk about Real Madrid not playing with their 1st choice goalkeeper, 1st choice 2 center backs and their 1st choice defensive midfielder for the game.

[@hamzaafc06]

@@footballcheck7308so what lol. Nobody’s arguing that Arsenal is better than Real Madrid when they did the exact same thing as them: Arsenal and Madrid both went to the etihad and parked the bus for a draw In fact Arsenal were better off considering they’ve actually beaten city in open play

[@decode3667]

@@hamzaafc06 You're waffling. Real Madrid in 1st 30minutes had multiple chances & it was not parking the bus, it was a mid block. In fact, it was a hybrid mid block & the team would adapt deeper if City pushed. A low block doesn't have only 4-6 players in the box, they'd have around 6-8. In fact, Real Madrid chose to win professionally considering the players they had. Would you like them to be amateurs like Barca who gave away the leg with red card & bad penalties? They defended as a united team. It's hard to grasp for someone with negative football knowledge. Dominated my ass, City didn't have clearer chances to say it's domination. Possession is useless if you don't create.

[@jasonalex9917]

Holy Trinity are back ❤❤❤

[@decode3667]

La Liga race has not been underwhelming, unless you don't appreciate Michel & Girona. Girona were breaking records in terms of points & achievements, they were basically Bayern Leverkusen until Real Madrid went on to win away & at home. The title race was really tight, I think Girona recently is getting bad decision against them(RFEF need Saudi money cause of the clause in their contract, they need Barca to be 2nd or they lose money). Girona are very underrated & most don't pay attention to them because how convincingly Real Madrid beat them. Also, City were lucky to get a draw at Bernabeau.

[@yummyananas]

Dougie is being inconsistent in his rankings: Bayern is being placed highly because they are an amazing team overall, but City is being penalized for not hitting their peak levels. Really hard to reconcile his ranking especially when compared to Joe's.

The Real vs City debate in this video was proper nonsense 😂😂😂 Jude is playing through injury, Fede is exhausted, Real have to constantly wonder if they will have 4 fit and eligible players for a coherent backline each week, VIni, as well as the entire backline and Real's rotation squad have had injury issues... City have Gvardiol, Ake, Akanji, Dias, Rico, Walker all mostly available. Foden, Alvarez, Haaland, Silva, Doku, Grealish for their Frontline.... Injuries didn't hinder City... Real just know how to get the result. Therefore they're the better team. They usually talk about "best defence in Europe" whenever it suits their anti Real Madrid agendas, but when Madrid defends well to win they change sides. I call BS and bias😂😂
