Rice is probably the 2nd best DM in the world so I’d say him and yeah any club would start Saliba. Saka and odegaard not quite yet imo.

There’s no other club in world football where not winning a CL in 10 years would be considered a ‘drought’ and that probably answers OPs question. Other teams might make up ground but if you were to bet on which team wins the most CLs in the next 20 years Real Madrid would probably be favourite. If they were 2 or 3 ahead then maybe I could see it but they’re miles clear
