Michel Platini vs Manchester United | Cup Winners' Cup Semi-Final | 11/04/1984

Michel Platini plays against Ron Atkinson's Manchester United at Old Trafford in a Cup Winners' Cup semi-final. The English side had eliminated Diego Maradona's Barcelona in the previous round but bianconeri, led by imperious Platini, turned oud to be an even tougher opponent.

[@bernardjay-rw6uj]

Michel Platini such an elegant player, languid and beautiful to watch, never hurried when in possession, He certainly was a gift from the Gods.

I was at that game. Juve stayed in a hotel near my school and when I was coming home I saw Michel Platini, Paolo Rossi and Zbigniew Boniek sat in the ground floor window as I was walking past on my way home from school.

This is gold... thank you

[@buffon550]

Platini era muy completo,pero su precisión en el pase(de cualquier clase:filtrado por arriba y abajo,pase libre,corto a media distancia etc)estaba en otro nivel.

[@carlossimancas9867]

Era un segundo punta excepcional, al mismo nivel de lo que fue Ronaldinho veinte años más tarde, aunque Platini era un as en el pase y Dinho un fuera de serie en el regate. Por encima de esos dos, como segundas puntas, sólo han estado Pelé y Messi

[@buffon550]

@@carlossimancas9867 Platini no jugaba más atrás?es decir enganche

[@carlossimancas9867]

No, se confunde mucha gente con el dorsal. Llevaba el diez pero era más delantero que centrocampista. Igual que Zico, que también era un segundo delantero. Pero tenían una calidad tan grande que les gustaba retrasarse a veces, aunque donde hacían daño de verdad era en el area y en las inmediaciones. Segundos delanteros fueron Pelé, Messi, Zico, Platini, Ronaldinho, Raul, Totti, Baggio, Del Piero… Dieces puros, enganches o trecuartistas fueron Di Stefano, Cruyff, Maradona, Laudrup, Zidane, Iniesta o Bellingham en la actualidad. Platini era más delantero que centrocampista, u segundo punta. Saludos

[@buffon550]

@@carlossimancas9867 Ya entiendo,zico si entiendo que era más delantero por qué siempre los centros le caían a él o la mayoría de veces. Por eso digo que Maradona era un gran goleador,hizo 345 siendo enganche y no Segunda punta y jugando con compañeros no tan buenos.

[@carlossimancas9867]

Pero es que para meter tantos goles como enganche hay que ser un genio, un Maradona. O un Di Stefano, que metió muchos más goles que Diego y también era enganche. Lo normal en un gran trescuartista es que meta 15 o 20 goles en una liga, no más. Pero con un Cruyff, un Maradona o un Di Stefano esas cifras van a los 25 o 30 goles. Son genios

Best french player ! Top Ten of all time

Michel Platini .. the game in Turin was insane man .. what a magical game Platini's peak ... he was in JOhan Cruyff's Level ... 83 ... 84 ... ..85 ... 86 ... What a game ...What a performance in Turin game .. he played like Johan Cruyff's peak .. 71 72 73 74 75.... in this game he was more or less it into the game but .. looking to influence the game .. with leadership and marking well ...there

[@carlossimancas9867]

He could not dribble two, three or even for rivals in the same run as Cruyff used to do many times between 1968 and 1974, but yes, Platini was a fantastic player

[@seraqueeusourealmenteobode31]

yes he can did it dribble two or three opponent players .. i saw one game of PLatini vs Usa in 1979 .. he gaves two chapeus in the him opponent ... But i agree with you ... Cruyff had much more sprint speed and stamina than Michel Platini ... but both are the masters of passing ability in my view ...

[@carlossimancas9867]

You saw once doing it…and Cruyff? And Messi? How many times did the do that?? So many that you and me are not able to count them

[@seraqueeusourealmenteobode31]

yes I agree with you man .. about Cruyff and Messi being slightly better than Michel PLatini at overall skills .... but i saw Michel Platini dribbling much more than twice in so many many games .... vs Bulgaria ... vs Ireland ...vs Holland ... vs West Germany in 1977 i guess...

[@carlossimancas9867]

Yeah, agree. I’ve always differenced between Kings (Di Stefano, Pelé, Cruyff, Maradona, Ronaldo Nazario, Messi) and princes (Platini, Puskas, Garrincha, Eusebio, Zidane…and maybe 20 or 25 more)

[@johnmullin3526]

Yep, the two best players of the 80’s and they weren’t just about scoring goals, they had as many assists, they were the ultimate playmakers (like Modric today) and they were always back in their own penalty box defending, breaking up play and creating transitions before it became the buzz word in world football commentary.

If memory serves Juventus won this, with a Boniek goal created by Platini? Platini was a terrific player, but I always thought that for France he was over-rated. Tigana and Giresse made him look better.

If you watch highlights yes. Over the continuity of a season and taking into account consistency Platini was easily better.
