MAICON vs. LAHM

Douglas Maicon (Inter) vs. Lahm (Bayern)
Who was better?

2008-2010 Maicon is way better than Lahm ever was IMO. Now it's Lahm no contest.

Lahm.

Maicon was always overrated and took a lot of the credit for Zanetti's hard work.

Offensive beast sure but defensively was nowhere near the monster he was claimed to be.

What is this? 08?

Even then Maicon was overrated, but whatever, now its not really close, hes not even the best rightback at his club anymore.

He meant in their primes

And Overall Lahm of course

Primes? Probably Lahm.

Better defender, didnt need the sort of help Maicon got...your going to struggle to think of 3 players who have really showed Lahm up...Maicon's you can think up in about 30 seconds.

Maicon was more devasting in attack, a train when he gets moving..also a great crosser with a surprising shot..but Lahm is pretty good going that way too. Can use both feet, technically good, smart, gritty and can cross going down the line or cutting inside.

Its pretty much a tossup.

Lahm was smarter and read the game better, and better defensively.

Maicon was more physical and faster, and better offensively.

I would go with Lahm because hes also more versatile and id say better offensicely than defensively. Even as a Juve fan though, i always liked Maicon, hes a very respectful player. I think Lahm edges it though.

I'd go with Maicon.

Good attacking wise and was good enough defensively until like 2010/11. Lahm's good attacking wise too, however Maicon was better in that regard.
