    One of Barcelona's teams from 2009-2011

    Valdes
    Alves Puyol Pique Abidal
    Toure
    Xavi Iniesta
    Messi Eto'o Henry

    Valdes
    Alves Puyol Pique Maxwell
    Busquets
    Xavi Keita
    Messi Ibrahimovic Iniesta

    Valdes
    Alves Pique Mascherano Adriano
    Busquets
    Xavi Iniesta
    Pedro Messi Villa

    They're probably the three best teams ever as they had some squad at the time as well Marquez, Milito, Abidal, Adriano, Maxwell, Busquets, Toure, Keita, Thiago, Pedro even Henry, Ibrahimovic all not really 100% starters.

    Ahh, was thinking the 94 one. Ma bad.

    Apparently the first ever purely ‘defensive midfielder’ in that team, under Ancelotti.

    That first one for me, they had the Tika Taka, the work rate, the skill but they also didn’t have the weaknesses at set pieces or in physicality that the later ones had. They had no weaknesses in that team for me. Far and away the best I’ve ever witnessed.

    They're the one that won everything as well, middle one never won the CL and last one never won the Spanish Cup.

    You forget also but Puyol, Xavi and Iniesta plus Pique, Pedro and Villa for a couple not only done that but they won the 2008 Euros, 2010 World Cup and 2012 Euros as well.

    Half a team just clearing up everything club and international in 4 year. :eek: will likely never be seen again

    It's mad to think that Pep's win over United at Wembley with that unreal Barca side was his last European trophy... that's over a decade ago.

    Best I've seen is Barca under Pep, by a mile.

    But that Madrid team is mental. 5 successive European Cups.

    What? :56:

    Barcelona won the league two out of the three years that Mourinho was in Madrid, including handing his Madrid side a few absolutely beatings (including knocking them out the Champions League.

    Pep’s Barcelona are the best side I’ve ever seen and it’s not even remotely close. Still voted for the Lions though :fear:

    Everyone needs to vote for the Lions. Apart from the fact that the Lions were a special group of guys to win the biggest trophy in Europe, it will also have the huns going tonto. It will also give us another reason to laugh at the huns in what has been a month of major belly laughing at the huns
