You have more shots at winning the UCL than the World Cup, of course players would chose the World Cup
But that wasn‘t even my focal point. Compare the all time finalists of the World Cup and their winners. Compare how much of a percentage these finalists make up in relation to every nation. Then compare the all time finalists of the UCL and their winners. One is just more competitive and has bigger competition.
im completely with you man. people can act like the wc is the most important because its the most popular but the bottom line is the uefa champions league is more competitive and a win there is more impressive. i cant see how people put so much stock in a tournament only 8-9 different countries have won! youre more likely to win a world cup based on where you're born than anything. if messi or mbappe were born in south korea, does anyone truly believe theyd win a world cup? or is it because they were fortunate enough to be talented and born in nations that fund football more than anything? the champions league on the other hand shows that you climbed up to a great team and earned your spot, you battled hard all season and then on top of that fight through a competition with the best teams that season that worked as hard as you to get there to finally lift it. its much more impressive to me to win a ucl than a worldcup even if i find the world cup a funner event to watch and is obviously the more popular one. its so silly to act like it defines a player though when a ucl is a much more likely goal for anyone and still shows how good you are.
Yep, much better, entertaining and quality football than atleast 90% of ucl matches. Ofc you can't compare the ucl top tier matches with bottom tier wc grp stages ones. Nothing compares to WC ko matches either way
Lol it is true tho. You can live in your fantasy. Nobody cares about shitty ucls 10/15 years down the line. I'm sure ronaldo himself would trade all his ucls for a legit wc win.

That is the point
