What's the best ever team performance you've seen in football?

From any level in football. From the EPL, right through to the bottom tier of your local * team (s). And when I say best, I don't mean the most satisfying performance ever - I mean a performance that made you in awe because of the technical ability of the team, the shape, the discipline, the passing, the attitude, and so on.

For me personally, I would go with Barcelona's 1-3 victory over Manchester United in the UCL final at Wembley back in May 2011. Total domination from start to finish; a masterclass in football. Even Alex Ferguson, at the end of the game, could only shake his head sarcastically and then shake Pep's hand solemly ... for he knew they'd been utterly outclassed and outplayed.

 

Is that actually your opinion or did you copy it from Reddit?

 

Brazil team in 1970 World Cup final.

 

There are obviously better, but for me it is Sweden 5 Bulgaria 0 in the 2003 Euros. Larsson was on fire and all the goals was just football *.

Defensively best performance i have ever seen and that includes all games i have ever watched is when we beat Barcelona in 2012. The game sent shockwaves all through the world.

 

If I may be so bold and mention two...........

Leeds United v Southampton 1972 (7-0)
My Dad (RIP) was a die-hard Leeds United fan who took me to Hampden in 1970 to watch the European Cup semi-final against Celtic.
Took me out of school and all that
I saw Jimmy Johnstone and the rest as they say is history.
This was his attempt to try and sway me to support Leeds United.
Johnny Giles in his pomp.

Celtic v PSG 2017 (1-7)
That midfield of Varrati, Rabiot and Motta was sensational.
The way they played out of trouble in the corner (13 minutes in), having being pressed by Celtic, was imperious.
I gave them a round of applause.
Cavani's header at the end was an amazing feat of gymnastics to get in the net from that angle.
The best footballing side I ever saw in the flesh.

In all of my 62 years on this earth, up until now, those are the best games I have witnessed being in the stands.

If it was TV ONLY, I would say:

Barcelona v Real Madrid 2016 (5-0)
Mourhino's team totally overran by Guardiola's imperious side.
Watched it in a bar in London with lots of Los Blancos fans, who even clapped at the end.
My Dad was a huge Madrid fan and he would have been blown away by the football played that night.
Football from the Gods........................
