Tough choice, but it would be either or on any given day for me.

Not.

Averaged 30 goals a season for us.

That said, I'd rather have both Ronaldos in a front three with Messi.

Back end developer or creative front end type?

Team of the last 15 years yes, but not based on CL performance. Love original Ronaldo but he did not do that much in the CL, never won the tournament, only scored 14 goals in it, Shevchenko, and Raul might be a better shout.

Giggs has to be in with a chance of this team, always upped his game in Europe, Utd's best ever in European competition for me.

Raul in for inzaghi all day every day

micky hazard on twitter legend ..tweet him about scholes gerrard and lampard ....the man just pisses himself that people try to make a defence for lamps and gerrard ...

Quiz break

Incredible Inzaghi has 3 champions league hat tricks.

As does the great Monotone Michael Owen - if you count qualifying round matches.

But which Englishman holds the record for the fastest CL hat trick?

Ooh, I know this. It's that Blackburn guy.

Ripley?

Correct. Mike Newell.

Did you know? Mike Newell went on to direct some harry potter film?


It pissses on the memory of the books - Northers

Will always love Super Pipo for his great work in Athens, 2007. Was convinced those scouse @#%&!s were going to win another one in the days leading up to the final

A great man.

i remember Gattuso playing for Rangers i thought he was brilliant for them

No Zidane?

Odd.

If it's any consolation he's proving woefully inadequate as a manager. Worse record than Seedorf who they fecked off quick enough.

In that case I'll stick with Ruud down the middle. 56 in 73 games, no striker from the last two decades gets near him; the only one to outscore him in that timeframe in terms of goals to game is Messi.
