It's kind of like comparing apples and oranges. If Real were in the PL they would be playing a different style of football and would probably have a few different types of player, but the core of that team are world class and would up there with the top 4 in the PL
I disagree with the MLS midfield talk. Surely he's doing EXACTLY what you would want from an Inverted LB? Sure he can play as an eight - but is he better than Rice there?.. no not chance. As a LB he has a chance of starting for us and England - and will continue to grew into the position. He's 19 imagine how good he will be if he keeps this up for the next 5-6 years? Look at what he's done against City, Real and Atletico in that position. He gets a lot of freedom in the role - he doesn't need to go into midfield.
I think they would be mid table - somewhere between 8th and 12th. Over time of course they would adapt - they have the finances to - but they are used to playing really easy games most weeks and in the CL they have the opportunity to pretty much focus on it because the league is so easy for them. Fresh players, plenty of time to prepare.
Real Madrid would finish 8th - 12th in the Premier League???! Sorry Jay, you know I love you pal, but this is crazy talk . They literally won a league and Champions League double less than 2 years ago. They are the biggest club in the world. And even though their current team isn't as good, they still have a top coach (Alonso) and some extremely gifted players. Courtois, Militao, Alaba, Camavinga, Trent, Valverde, Bellingham, Mbappe, Rodrygo, Vinicius Jr, Tchouamaeni, Guler, Ascencio, Carreras, Huijsen, Mastantuono... These are all top quality players. A lot of those I'd take at Arsenal for sure. It's beyond ludicrous to say they'd finish between 8th - 12th in the Prem!
Haha. To each their own! I don't rate many of those players as top quality. The Champions league is a cup competition. Its a very low quality tournament until the last 16. Real Madrid can plan their whole season around a handful of games because their league is so easy. Makes it far easier for them than any PL club who have come through tough seasons by the time the last 16 in the CL comes round. The Spanish league is so bad Madrid can simply turn up each week and qualify for the CL and will win the title multiple times by default. You put THAT team in a PL grind over a full year - nah. Not having it.
