Louder for those at the back
Bbbbut Ronaldo is carrying Portugal

stupid
Also a BIGGER indicator that Madirds Galaticos method and Barca' La Masia we're godbody for an entire generation. Between them that's like 7 UCL all but one La Liga in the past 10 years. Numerous cups.... literally two sides of the same squad building coin. Both Portugal and Arg have lacked in developing homegrown talent because everyone is getting shipped to Europe. Meanwhile, the teams doing well are either ferociously nationalistic (Spain, Croatia) or have 2nd or 3rd generation decendants of colonized nations (France, England, Belgium)
Madrid's transformative super stars and Barca's harmonious golden generation.
It won't happen this way ever again. The era is over.
