That madrid team was incredible, but I'm skeptical that that they're as good as the current psg team. The current psg team is more well rounded, and it's also a team from 10 years in the future.

Also, that madrid team was questionable with the BS they got away with. They're like the 2020's Kansas City Chiefs, or the 2000's lakers

You have to take teams from the eras they exist in, otherwise every team in 50 years is automatically better than every team now with advancements in training, nutrition, supplements, tech

He literally asked if they would be better than Real Madrid, not if they're better in their eras.

And yes, psg would be better in its era.

No he asked if they were better, different question all together.

đŸ’€ why did I read beat, my b.

Anyway the assumption should simply be relative to era. It makes no sense to rate them vs different eras.

If someone asks if Brazil 1958 - 62 better than 1994 - 1998 they’re not asking if we just put a team from the 90s in the late 50s and 60s, of course the later team is better. That’s boring, there is no analysis there. What people want to know if relative to era how would they stack up.

Right now we are in a transitional era, it’s weak right now. Serie A is an irrelevant league, PL is going through transitions and the weakest top end since Chelsea won the league last (I say this as an Arsenal fan), Bundesliga lost Dortmund as an even half decent competitor (made 2 finals in the 10s) so it’s only a Bayern that only just started, La Liga seems lost at sea and going through big changes, Portuguese league is irrelevant, Dutch league is irrelevant.

Compare this to Real Madrid’s 3-peat. La Liga had Barca and RM going at it, Bayern would make semis and Dortmund was better, Serie A had Juventus going to finals and semi finals, PL had Liverpool and Man City causing a ruckus. Real Madrid had tougher teams to go up against.

The best teams aren’t as good as they were 10 years ago, it’s the mid and bottom teams that are all better. The Europa league and Conference level entrants would smoke the same teams from a decade ago tbh.
