Nah. This is the best CB in the world:
He still is when he's fit and under a competent manager.

So what you're saying is that Thiago's mistakes have nothing to do with defending?

Thats a perfectly legit tackle, imo. TS is still the best in the world. Boateng is an EPL flop

When has Boateng ever been the best CB in the world?
Silva and Varane are comfortably better.

Varane gets to enter the discussion when he actually regularly plays in his team's first eleven and not before.
I actually thought Boateng played well on the most part, despite his error which is obviously unforgivable, I didn't think he was the biggest villain of the night for Bayern. Alonso despite his goal was poor throughout and brought City back into it, Bernat was roasted 1v1 and was poor positionally all night, often destroying Bayern's offside trap and Benatia got himself sent off through an absolutely pointless challenge.
I obviously feel that Hans overrates him slightly however he doesn't get the credit often due him on this forum.

City were extremely lucky to win. They were outplayed at home, against 10 mind, for more than 70 minutes. And two of their goals came from fetal mistakes from the opposition, taken advantage off by just one player, it wasn't even a team counter attack, or something alike.
Well, congrats to City anyway.

When did Varane jump ahead of the likes of Hummels and Kompany?

Kompany
Varane has shit on Kompany the day he decided to become a footballer.

You're right, Kompany captaining City to multiple league titles pales in comparison to the consistency shown by a player who has played three full league games this season, late in November.

Milan will probably be playing Champions League football by the time Barzagli gets back from injury at this rate.

Being on the bench doesn't take away from someones quality. Blame a stubborn coach for that.
Varane is obviously better than Ramos. Carlo is just being a dick.

Re: Champions League 2014/15 | Group E
Agreed, the decisions of a triple Champions League winning manager about the players he sees train day in, day out can't be taken seriously because the man is clearly in the pay of Beezelbub himself.
It's absurd to include a player who doesn't consistently play in a conversation about the best in their position, particularly in a position where people focus so heavily on a single mistake. Hard to be known for your blunders when you only play every month or so.

Meh, falling on deaf ears anything you said in that post. These ranking best player this, best player that is all subjective. It's my opinion. Doesn't bother me that you don't share it.

Varane hasn't achieved anything in his career and if anything has made as many mistakes as highlights.
He's only young so it's understandable but you all really need to pump the breaks.
Talent means *bleep* all in this discussion.

The moment you realize Varane has played more UCL finals than all the so called best defenders on earth

Varane
Top 5 are clearly Silva, Terry, Godin, Pepe and Ramos.

So has Yaya Toure and he's CM by trade, not sure why that's irrelevant.

Thought Varane retired after 42 year old Drogba ruined him.

For the record I don't rate Boateng and Kompany that highly either.

Why? What's Boateng done in the past years to not be considered a highly rated defender?
Getting nutmegged once after playing with one man down for 70 minutes, in a match that held no consequence whatsoever for his team?
After the last three seasons he's had?
You guys know I don't traffic in terms like "the best", but he certainly is among the ranks of the world class defenders, isn't he?

Re: Champions League 2014/15 | Group E
I just have never liked him Viva, he's too erratic for me. As RG will attest, I hate aggressive defenders
I prefer defenders to stay in their lane and not try to win the ball all the time. I respect what he's done but I just dislike his style.
