We seriously lack big characters like him at the club atm. Edited January 18, 2023 by Johnnyeye Blue Armour 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The situation you mentioned reminds me of Ibra, left Inter in 2009 to join Barca, Inter knock Barca out and win CL, then he leaves Barca in 2010 and Barca win the CL. Is there any other player who suffered this fate? Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any other player who suffered this fate? I am sure many have, but not ones who won everything else at club and country level Neymar's case of the mumps with Barca in the UEFA Super Cup fucked him out of being the only player (club level now, not national team) to win every league, continental and global trophy possible on TWO confinements he has won the FIFA World Club Cup (he won it with Barca, and lost a final once, when that superb Barca team crushed Neymar's Santos side 4 nil in 2011) he also won the CL (but missed his one shot at the UEFA Super Cup due to mumps) Copa Libertadores and Recopa Sudamericana (SA version of the UEFA Super Cup) Copa do Brasil (like their FA Cup) Campeonato Brasileiro Série A Campeonato Paulista Copa Paulista Numerous League titles in Spain and France both domestic Cups in Spain - Super Copa (like the CS in England) and Copa del Rey all 3 dometic Cups in France (now is down to to, only the EPL/FA has 3 still) Coupe de France Coupe de la Ligue (now defunct) Trophée des Champions (like the CS in England) NO other player has come close to that feat (the every club trophy possible on TWO continents part) he has had less success with Brasil however, only 2 out of 4 big trophies and the two he doesn't have are the 2 that count the most He has won the Olympics and the now defunct FIFA Confederations Cup But no World Cup, no Copa America (Brasil won it in 2019, but he was out with that terrible ankle injury, so bad luck again) he got Pessi'd in 2022, lol Edited January 18, 2023 by Vesper Johnnyeye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
