Quite simply yes, Barcelona are by far the greatest team the world has ever seen. The fact that Arsenal fans were chanting this about their own team on Wednesday night is almost laughable because yes, Barcelona are more than a club, they are the equivalent of diarrhea, fluid, deadly and hard to contain.
As a neutral you almost take pity on the opposition, it's like watching a cheatah chase after a baby gazelle, you want the gazelle to get away and survive but the cheatah is the fastest animal on earth, it has little to no chance.
Granted they are not unbeatable and credit is due to Hercules and Arsenal for managing victories over the Catalans this season but as everyone knows those gazelle's were fortunate that the cheatah stumbled on a rock or something on those particular occasions.
If anyone has seen Barcelona live this season they'll know exactly what I'm talking about. Their build up play is slow, they entice the opposition and lull them into a false sense of security before BANG, before you know Xavi has made an incredible pass to Dani Alvez, he passes it into the box and Messi or Villa is there to tap the ball home.
Here are highlights from last night's game that proves my point exactly
All this proves that British clubs are wasting vasts sums of money on the transfer market. The path to developing a great team isn't by spending £35 million on some lanky horse looking type player, its spending £35 million pound on a youth development system that gives talented youngsters a chance to progress in the world of professional football.
