I love rawk....its...so....errrr....
These are obviously financial cheats, but I watched that game today and all I could think of was how many players might be on drugs here. I don't really care if that sounds conspiracist, but I've felt it for a while.
And it's not just City either. Both these teams in general just seem a little off to me. Madrid have a crazily high average age, play 60 odd games every single season, and yet produce a ridiculous level in the big games. Where's the fatigue or loss of legs?
And then on the other side, City play more games than any other club in the sport, have a smaller squad than you'd think and also show minimal fatigue. Their players are rarely injured, and when they do have injuries, they always come back extremely quickly.
Compare the ridiculous physical condition that Modric is in (still running as hard as Valverde and Camavinga) to James Milner, who's a model pro and a year younger, yet now looks like me getting around the pitch.
Compare DeBruyne, who's nearly 32 and relies on power as much as his passing, to someone like Henderson. Again, Jordan is a model pro, but he looks like his legs have at least partially gone, whilst DeBruyne is still dominating the PL, dragging City out of the shit in the CL and showing no signs of slowing down.
Of course it's all wild speculation, and fine if people think it's a bit out there, but I can't help feeling that performance enhancing substances are more rife than anyone really wants to imagine.
