I ran across this thread in Reddit a couple days ago. Then I heard nothing. Anybody aware of this? Is there new news I am unaware of?

So there are 3 world stars

Neymar
Ronaldo
Messi

Ronaldo is the most likely as he is crap without his speed and with his advancing age and ****** lifestyle
He is most likely

That thread mentions that Ronaldo's teammates have been amazed at Ronaldo's ability to recover from games after one day when it takes them three. So I'm inclined to agree with you.

Who else has multiple CL wins?

Messi. Barca suffer from messidependencia so he has a lot of mileage the past year (including the World Cup). I think he only rested one game or so last campaign (something minuscule like that - he always came on as a sub to bail them out domestically and got no rest in the CL). He doesn't seem to have lost a step this campaign while RMs stars are struggling with fitness (granted some like kroos and Modric have age but varane and Asensio are having issues too).

But it's most likely Ronaldo. Zidane rested him a lot domestically two years ago and last year as well to make those CL runs. Zidane had a strong bench that allowed him to do it. Perhaps Juve isn't as deep. And they did pay a boatload of money for him so he needs to put butts in seats.

Messi walks a lot in his old age. I read somewhere that he is #1 or #2 in Europe in the amount he walks during games. That is very different than how he played when he was younger.

All I could find in the Der Spiegel articles was the quote below: No mention of a "world star".

"The reports of the coming weeks will also reveal the positive doping tests of a multiple Champions League winner as well as the tax avoidance models of some Premier League titans."

That makes it sound more like it is definitely not a world star, but rather someone like Pedro or Keylor Navas or someone like that. I do love the chaos and it would be pretty naive of us to assume none of these guys do anything like this.

interesting

Probably Messi reverting back to his childhood when he was all over the 'roids.

Sinner.

I'm more interested in the financial fair play shenanigans of Man City, PSG and others of that ilk. It all seem to link back to oil money from ME.

What about Rybovlev and the alleged Mbappe cash out? It's drama everywhere, especially with Monaco's current trajectory.

Not to derail the thread, but can you imagine the United States government setting up a wealth fund to buy a pro sports team. Then using tax dollars to buy the best players to ensure they win a championship.

That's essentially what Man City and PSG have done.

and yet PSG still sit third in ther CL group behind Napoli and Liverpool
