Don't provoke me to post Lamela.

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.

In the days where crippling fouls were the norm, silky players had to be like ballet dancers to get through 90 minutes.

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.

Best French league side ever for me at least, ALOT more likeable than PSG too.

Shame the incident v Turkey overshadows what a great player he was these days...

My boy @GDeep™ telling it how it is. The foreigners have ruined the beautiful sport.

Might be a controversial post because it's praising Chelsea but......

King Carlo literally just said "**** it, we're better than these teams let's just go all out attack"

@Tir Na Nog @Riou the first comment under the video above sums it all up. “More talent on the field than the entire Serie A, La Liga and PL combined as of today”
