I can mention other talents Abiati, Filipo Inzaghi, Canvaro,Alessandro Costacurta,Kaladze,Gattuso,Ambrosini,Rui Costa,Jaap Stam, Andrea Pirlo and "Bobo" Vieri. Sheva was more a young talent of those years with Gattuso, Nesta Canavaro and Pirlo but in Milan he was known to be the brain of the team as it would lead the team and literally make the game. I'm not Italian either Serie a is well known in the world. Ill go on and explain why Serie A disconnected from the rest. But first you seem very confused or don't know what you talking about. From your prescriptive yes but not how it is as I may consider Barclays Premier League boring. Best defense is not equal defensive teams /league. Let me ask you question what country has the most of Champions league/Europan League titles or wins and how many clubs have won it during that period 90 -07 ? If you don't get the point I will explain when you respond to that question first. During 07 and following that's where Seria A went downhill.As for Milan itself went downhill when Berlusconi left it to Galliani to fully manage it.His only good call was Ibrahimovic and Kaka, than decided to sell Ibrahimovic.
I didnt necessarily say that any of the above were at the pinical of their careers - you seem to be misinterpreting me. I said they were all very capable leaders, who had experience, which is usally required of a capitain. That sort of experience in a squad give players confidence, players like a young Shevchenko.

To answer your question , Its Madrid. The second question i wouldnt know without researching, but at a guess id say the Italian sides outweigh any other country, right? Again - though, i did not not say Italian football was bad, i said it was rather boring to watch; However, when they played it Europe it was a different story, as you didnt have two defensive sides playing against each other it made for quite enjoyable viewing - watching the best attacking sides (usually Spanish) and the best defensive sides (usually Italian) pitting against each other.

Anyway, my interpretation of what is enjoyable football is evidently different from yours and we could trade blows all day but my opinion and yours is unlikely to change.
