The ten best teams of the last decade #9

 Paris Saint Germain-

What ? Champions League Finalists in the 9th place? Yes. First off, the final was in this decade, but even if it was in the last one, I wouldn’t have gone higher than this. They won many trophies, maybe only less than Barca and Madrid, but you really have to consider the behind the scene situation. While Barcelona had to defeat the likes of Real Madrid, Atletico, Valencia, Sevilla, and a new good team every season, Paris have had no competition in the seasons they have won, when they had a slight competition they lost, to the likes of Monaco ! I mean, when I think of it, they don’t even deserve to be here. But, for the sheer amount of trophies they have won, they are here. 

Trophies- 

7 times Ligue 1 Champions 

Coupe De France- 6

Coupe De La Ligue- 6

Trophee Des Champions- 7

Along with this..... they have had ..... 6 domestic double and 4 domestic trebles, while claiming a quadruple in all of those 4 years too. That, even if it is Ligue 1, is impressive. 

Runners up-

Ligue 1- 2

Coupe De France-2

Trophee Des Champions- 1

Champions league- 1 ( sorry but I had to include this one )


Yep, that is a lot of trophies, a national record 43 for all time. But this decade, they have been on another planet altogetherly. (UCL isn’t a thing there). They have been winning without doing much. Well, this might not be good enough for competition hungry professionals like Ronaldo and Messi, but it is a perfect place for the Brazilians. I am watching you Neymar. Huge wages, a beautiful city and a beautiful bank account. That’s nice for almost anyone. 

That’s pretty much it about PSG, full trophy room, no UCL and a decent squad with a mentality of a juggernaut.

Barca: A season to forget- Left Wing/ Midfielder

THE PLAYERS- I am not considering Coutinho and Griezmann Left Wingers. 1. Ansu Fati- An  astoundingly ridiculous revelation this season, Ansu Fati will surely be a major part any success we are * hoping * for. His speed and aggressiveness is always channeled and timed well. He can create something out of very little. This is the quality we were craving for, and we have got it in the form of Ansu.  2. Pedri- I know, he is not a first team member just yet, but that is not to say he won't recieve first time action. I think when Ansu needs rest, Pedri should get some starts against less physical sides like Villarreal. Conclusion- After two seasons after Neymar left, we finally have two very good wingers on both flanks. This is definitely good !

Barca: A season to forget- What needs to change ?

What needs to change, in order to win the champions league this August ? So, I can'y really talk about mentality because I am not aware of the happenings in the dressing room, so, let's talk about tactics. Formations and player roles.  TYPE 1- 4-1-2-1-2 narrow Goalkeeper- Ter Stegen two center backs- Pique and Lenglet/ Pique and Araujo Right back- Semedo Left back- Jordi Alba Holding Midfielder- Sergio Busquets Two Central Midfielders- Riqui Puig and Vidal/De Jong /Rakitic Attacking Midfielder- Messi Two strikers- Suarez and Griezmann/ Fati ( He can definitely play there)               This formation was used in the last five games of league and it was evident that it worked fine only when the opposition was not ultra defensive. Napoli, sadly, is ultra defensive. In this formation, the defence has usual work. In the midfield, Busquets has to stay deep and think attacking. He needs to put ball forward after intercepting passes or gettiing ball...

Barca-1 : RMA -3

 Of Course it's the match review.  Look, we played well. If that calms you down, it should not. We need to win to show for it. No matter how many chances are created, until they are put away. Real Madrid were, by far the second best side today. But, they won. Maybe that's because of the VAR decision, but we need to understand that we should have been at least 3-1 up at that point. There's no excuse for that kind of finishing, in an El Clasico, the PREMIER FOOTBALLING SHOWCASE. At least it used to be. Now, there were some things more alarming, and some good ones, but as has been the case this season, finishing remains to be sharp. So, what are the even more negative things ? 1. Busquets. Yeah. I said it before, I will say it again, De Jong and Busquets can't play together. They do not complement each other. For details, click  here  . 2. The day Koeman was appointed, I had one, singular doubt about him. his passiveness. That is what we saw today. Yes, starting Pedri a...
