Frank LeboeufPANELIST
But that guy, again, belongs to another planet of football players.
Frank LeboeufPANELIST
And along Messi, Platini, of course, Cruyff, Beckenbauer, and some others, Barresi, for example, as a defender, those players are different, and so they deserve to be celebrated.
Kay MurrayHOST
Yeah, 41 years old, played with two players that were born after his own international debut, which just shows you how long he was playing at the top level.
Kay MurrayHOST
You have to
Sid SeixeiroHOST
They got to the semifinals of the 1984 European Championships.
Sid SeixeiroHOST
They were beaten by Michel Platini in France.
Sid SeixeiroHOST
And four years before this tournament, Portugal, without Cristiano Ronaldo, got to the semifinals of another European Championship.
Sid SeixeiroHOST
Again, losing to France in the semi.

Richard HallHOST
And I think I told you something about that period.
Richard HallHOST
We talked about the Premier League now attracting some of the world's best players, but in the late 80s, he said, of course, that was Serie A, always, Maradona at Napoli, Van Basten, Hull at Rijkaard at Milan, Platini had been at Juventus and Inter were building a team that challenged everyone under Schrappetoni, Mateus and Bremer and then Klinsmann, then following after that, joined.
Richard HallHOST
He just felt at home at Inter when I spoke to him.
Richard HallHOST
He really did and he assumed that Matthias and Klinsmann alongside him must have made that transition easier.
Alan DaviesHOST
This is the thing that just stops him being...
Alan DaviesHOST
You know, the kind of Platini or Gaza or maybe Zidane, that really super elite midfield star is OK. Havertz has missed so many chances.
Alan DaviesHOST
He's hit someone in the head and nearly killed them.
Alan DaviesHOST
Giochra has appears to have forgotten where the goal is.
Tom RennieHOST
Even though, you know, it'd be great if referees didn't get things wrong.
Tom RennieHOST
Like maybe Michel Platini was right all those years ago in that what we need is more officials to catch more stuff.
Tom RennieHOST
One ref and two linesmen can't catch everything.
Tom RennieHOST
Maybe we get a linesman on both sides.
Colin HendryGUEST
But without the £200 million per season, you know, Rangers, and I'm not going into that conversation about Rangers and Celtic, they should be in the Premiership.
Colin HendryGUEST
Platini tried that 25, 30 years ago, and that should have been the time where Rangers and Celtic should have been integrated into the Premiership, because that would have been a great time.
Colin HendryGUEST
Now, I'm not getting into that discussion because it's on social media.
Colin HendryGUEST
And if I go and stand up for Scottish football teams as a Celtic in the Premiership, they wouldn't last in the Championship.
Rob SmytheGUEST
Around this time, we were really used to one player dominating a tournament.
Rob SmytheGUEST
Rossi, Platini, Maradona, Van Basten.
Rob SmytheGUEST
There aren't many after that.
Rob SmytheGUEST
I can't think of anyone in the Euros.
Mike ParryHOST
If the situation persists at FIFA, the Swiss government could dismantle FIFA altogether.
Mike ParryHOST
That would have a knock-on effect on the composition of UEFA... particularly as Mr Platini is currently implicated in alleged wrongdoing, the whole thing could change.
Mike ParryHOST
And when it does, don't you think people will say, well, the only reason they put so many clubs into the competition in the first place was to raise the ante in the amount of revenues that can be raised, and it's revenues that were raised which caused all the alleged corruption which has led to the downfall.
Mark DonaldsonCORRESPONDENT
What's the title of this competition? that Manchester City, that Manchester United, that Real Madrid and PSG and everyone else...
Richard GarnettHOST
Would
Ian DoylePANELIST
Platini go down the wing though?
Richard GarnettHOST
Sometimes.
Ian DoylePANELIST
Are you sure?
Juancho VillaverdePANELIST
Cristiano Ronaldo gana el vote por la temporada 2008 con el Manchester United, que es muy buena, que es muy buena.
Juancho VillaverdePANELIST
Pero desprestigiamos la temporada 2013 del mismo Cristiano, la del 2016, donde gana la Eurocopa, o lo de Benzema, que ni siquiera entra en votación porque no ganó más de un Balón de Oro, ni hablar la temporada de Messi en 2012, o lo que hicieron en su momento los Cruyff, van Basten y Platiní, que no quiero llegar allá.
Juancho VillaverdePANELIST
Este debate no se soluciona con una encuesta.
Juancho VillaverdePANELIST
Cristiano Ronaldo tiene cinco Balones de Oro bien ganados, no seis.
