Not sure if mentioned earlier, but really loved the Deportivo team in the 2000s.
Juan Carlos Valerón, what a smooth player!
With Fran and Victor on each side.

Actually got to see him live on holiday in France when I was 13. A champions league match against Monaco, who then had Saviola, Maicon, Evra and a young unknown tall togolese.

Low key in my top 10 of favourite players, ngl.


Not the reason you posted, but I absolutely loved Lyon from the mid 00's.

Obviously Juninho, Wiltord, Govou, Carew, Malouda, Benzema, Ben Arfa, Essien, Diarra, Abidal. They had some players during that period. They had a knack for being able to sell their stars but still end up winning the title. By 09 tho too many had left and despite the fees they were getting for the likes of Benzema and co they just couldn't rebuild. Sad they've never reached those heights since.
 

Arsenal Quotes

A team can attack for too long. The most opportune time for scoring is immediately after repelling an attack, because opponents are then strung out in the wrong half of the field. All the men are expected to play to plan, but not so as to stifle individuality
