I stated Germany are the best team in Europe has nothing to do with ranking or Champions league results. I am an italian fan and would easily have said italy is the best.

The fact that Real madrid has two players in Ronaldo and Bale who scored over 70 goals in a season in all competition hardly mean spain is the best team in Europe. Athletico madrid to their credit is not the best team individually. Talent wise they are nowhere near Barcelona, madrid or Bayern Munich. They have a very shrewd coach in Simone and it is his man management who made Athletico tick. We also know the crux of Spanish team used to be Barcelona in the past. But Barcelona arn't as good now as they were few years ago.

Now, the reason i said Germany are the best team is I looked their players individually. 4 years ago when Germany played world cup and came third,they played with very young and inexperienced team. Spanish team at that time were just past at its peak. 4 years on, Spain team has aged and arn't good as they were 4 years ago ( Still better than most though).

Most of the players in German team is at the right age. Although injury to striker might hurt them. But they are full of attacking midfielder. Lets see what happens.
