    Trophies won make the answer obvious pal, although that Barca team on paper are twice the team this city team is on paper. A squad full of legends across the board compared to maybe just de Bruyne currently at that level?

    It’s not even close.

    Pep’s Barca side are absolutely miles clear.

    The Barca team in the 2010-2011 season is the best football team that’s ever played the game.

    Can’t argue with that. The way they destroyed Manchester United in the Champions’ League final at Wembley in 2011 just sums that Barca era up. Alex Ferguson’s reaction at the end of the match was priceless — he just smiled, shook his head and clapped in awe and acknowledgement, walked towards Pep and shook his hand. Sometimes, someone or a team is just too good and you can’t have any arguments — this was one instance of that. I still have that match on DVD and I like to watch every once in a while. An absolute masterclass — football *!:notworthy

    They certainly are a different animal in Europe and seem to raise their game for these big European matches, but, I think this year is a bridge too far for them.

    Deserved goal from Chelsea, been all over them from the start.

    Real Madrid have been * this season and last but seem to somehow sneak out results still, bit like Juventus also who never really play well but win a lot more than they should.

    Unfortunately, Chelsea look as if they may be on the verge of something special.

    Think you’ll see Werner and Havertz properly kick in next season as well after taking a year to adapt.

    Typical of them, hardly put a pass together. Get opened up for fun, outplayed and run but always manage to stay in games and nick wins.

    Thought that * Ramos was playing, did a build your bet and went for him to get booked. Bet was void as he was out and if Real win I'd have won.

    Kante is an absolute dream of a midfielder, he must be the best team mate you could possibly hope for.

    Completely unselfish, covers every blade of glass multiple times over, wins the ball and moves it on whilst getting back into position simultaneously.

    Werner will never make it there IMO, mirror image of Torres almost in that he looks like a pub player at times. Face just doesn’t seem to fit.

    Think Torres was well on his way out by the time he got there. £50m was ridiculous for him, he was going downhill at Liverpool as well. Everytime I’ve seen Werner he’s a bit of luck away from a belter of a game.

    Think next year it will click.

    A better comparison would probably be Pukki! Or even Sutton.

    He’s a good player without a doubt but some of his misses have been criminal for Chelsea!

    Havertz I think will definitely settle and kick on, he was class for Leverkusen and is a lot younger so you can understand his issues a bit more.

    Hopefully Madrid or Chelsea win it. No that I care one iota for either of them, but the less teams that lift the big cup the better.
