🤔 Team Carlos Alberto or 'My Chelsea'? Your take on BR and EU football

Considered by many as "inferior" – except for Carlos Alberto 😅 –, Brazilian clubs are accumulating good results in this Club World Cup against powerful European clubs.
Now, we want to know your opinion!
Do you agree more with Carlos Alberto, even if it's to some extent (you don't need to think that Real Madrid wouldn't win Serie B 😅), that European football is overrated, or are you more with Cucurella, that, at another time, Europeans would win?
