I used to think there were a few but on watching videos again I changed my mind. It is easy to remember teams of the past as better than they really were (you just remember the good games). E.g. I used to really rate Milan of the early 90s but they are not as good as I had thought. You have to watch the way they play as well as the results. This Barca are better than the Ronaldinho era Barcelona which I had thought was the best team of the last 10 years. > There is nothing impressive about winning a two > team league. Who wins the league is different to how good the teams in it are. You can still get a good game from a team who has no chance of winning it all. Seville, Valencia, etc are not pushovers. > What they did internationally in 2008-2009, that was > impressive. Um, I was of course not excluding their performances in the Champions League.

Sacchi's Milan would have destroyed this current Barca side as would have Capello's 1994 Milan side and the Real Madrid of the Hierro era. > You have to watch the way they play as well as the results.

The springboard to their success, their European Cup win in 2009, came on the back of a crooked victory over Chelsea. With a half competent referee Barca don't get to the final. They were comprehensively outplayed. Great teams aren't comprehensively outplayed in European Cup semi-finals. > Who wins the league is different to how good the teams in it are.

The league table doesn't lie. -- http://soccer-europe.com Rss feed : http://soccer-europe.com/RSS/News.xml
