Add the 14th European Champions League Cup to the seven world titles, the four European Super Cups, the two Uefa Cups and the 35 Spanish Championships, in addition to the 19 Copa del Rey and 12 Spanish Super Cups, and that’s it: there is no doubt. about which is the most successful club in world football.
If the rare reader and the rare reader want to consider as club world champions only those who won the tournament sponsored by FIFA, the madridistas also dominate with four, one more than rivals Barcelona.
Counting the Intercontinental Cup, as FIFA recognizes, the advantage over the second place, Milan, is 7 to 4, almost double, as is the superiority of Merengue in Europe, 14 to 7 over the Rossoneros.
It’s impressive.
The 14th Orelhuda still had the very special flavor of being lost to French champions PSG, world champions Chelsea and English champions Manchester City.
How lost to the superior Liverpool were it not for the epic performance of Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, 30 years old, 2 meters, 96 kilos.
Jürgen Klopp was right when he asked at the end of the decision when his team, champions of both British Cups this season, will play another final. Because Liverpool was one point away from being English champions — 92 points won, 80.7% of use, 94 goals scored — and lost the Champions in the detail of Vinicius Junior’s opportunism, the failure of the exuberant Alexander-Arnold and the fabulous performance of Courtois.
Here is a question for Brazilian fans to think about.
Sometimes it gives the impression that we prefer to lose before deciding to live with the frustration of defeat in the final.
That between being champion of the Copa Sudamericana and vice of Libertadores we have the first alternative.
On the subject, UOL Esporte made an interesting survey to find out which Brazilian club is champion of everything, something that Inter already boasted in 2008 and that the return of the Supercopa do Brasil changed, because it is a title that the gauchos lack.
According to the survey, which considers world champions only the winners of the tournament already organized by FIFA, the Brazilian clubs closest to being champions of everything are Colorado and Corinthians, which can only win the Copa Sudamericana.
Our greatest champion, São Paulo, still doesn’t have the Copa do Brasil or the Supercopa do Brasil.
Would it have been better for Fiel fans to be eliminated in Libertadores, which will only win again now by miracle, to compete in the South American with a chance of conquest?
Don’t ask Jürgen Klopp. He only thinks about the cream in the cream, although increasingly it is meringue.
Pep Guardiola how will it be? Will he have savored his rival’s defeat to end the season on top?
And Abel Ferreira? Already planning to face Real Madrid?
About whom are there no questions to ask, doubts to be eliminated?
He is Italian, he is almost 63 years old, his name is Carlo Ancelotti and he was born to win.
German, Spanish, French, English and Italian champion, champion as a player and as a coach, winner as an athlete of the Intercontinental Cup, which UOL does not consider as a World Cup, but FIFA does, and of two FIFA World Cups as Milan’s coach and of Real Madrid.
Take care whoever the coach is to face you in the next World Cup — and hopefully he will be a foreigner in front of the Brazilian team.
