Italian Football
Is it just me or is the Italian club sides quality dropping?
Reason i say is last week i watched Juventus completely outplayed by Arsenal and whenever i have watched Juve they have been pretty poor i thought and yet they are running away with the league.
Then you look at AC Milan. They are in the same boat for me. Haven't been that great in the league and then they have been completely outplayed in both legs by Lyon yet managed to sneak through to the semi's, very similar to what they did last season.
Another of the top sides Inter Milan again. I don't think they are anything special and are vastly overrated.
Problem i feel for me is these sides rely heavily on older players. I mean the average age of that AC Milan side was 31 years old, Juve's is around the 30 mark too.
They were great players in their day but many are getting past it a bit and i do worry about these sides in the coming seasons as unless they splash out big they are going to really struggle to compete with the other sides in the CL.
Thoughts?
