No way Van Persie should've gone.

However Barca are the best team in the world, despite what people say. Fantastic footballers.

behave, they are a fantastic team. possibly the best ever.


Not even close to best ever. They do well in the crap Spanish league and play very attractive, but even with the red card they needed a bit of shit from bentner to win

tey dont just do well in the 'crap' spanish league. they absolutely dominate nearly every single game they play in!

Could've been a massacre tonight, the stats are unbelievable almost four times as many passes, made Arse look like Stoke at times.

Barca are the greatest team I've ever seen, no doubt.

I dream of having my team play like that. Its a long long way away yet though! Tiredness and all that.

Are Barca players fitter than ours or do they just play a lot less games?? :)

Best ever? Sure they play great, but they are not the best ever. Don't let the beautiful play fool you. They are great but not better than every other team in history

they're the best ever by far. they are mind blowing. their passing and playmaking from all over the pitch is just an honour to watch. they defend with skill and clever possession play. brilliant team.

Can you name us some better sides then chief?

The Milan side of the early 90s looks absolutely amazing on paper, though I'm too young to have seen them, but I don't think they would touch this Barca side.

Off the top of my head, I don't think Barca are better than Ajax in 95, Milan in the early 90s/late 80s, or especially Santos in the 60s with pele. Don't get me wrong, Barca are playing incredible now, but "the best of all time" isn't something that I throw around lightly
