BUT WHICH CLUB WAS BETTER BARCELONA OR BAYERN MUNICH.

  So actually which club was the better one between the Spanish giants Barcelona and the German giants  Bayern Munich, is the question.

 Barcelona won all six trophies in a single year in the year 2009. Bayern Munich have done it in the year 2020/2021.

 But there is no doubt whatsoever in my mind that the Barcelona team under Pep Guardiola  , was a far better and more talented players..

 They had Lionel Messi, Ronaldhino, Henry, Andres Iniesta, Xavi Hernandez , Javier Masherano, Carles Puyol, Gerard Pique,  Samuel Etoó,Victor Valdez.

 While Bayern Munich depend heavily on Manuel Neuer, Thomas Muller, Robert Lewandowski and David Alaba.

 So when you see the names of the Barcelona team, it sends shivers  down your spine.

SADLY THE GREATEST ERA IN BARCELONA HISTORY IS COMMING TO A END.

It is a fact time waits for no man, and Barcelona are sadly seeing a great number of players retiring after rendering very good and loyal service to their Catalunya club Barcelona, so in the last fifteen years we have seen some real giants and living legends hanging up their boots and retiring into the sunset.They have been greatly missed by fan and club. So let us see the list of the famous footballers of Barcelona who have retired in glory, playing for this big club. 1) Victor Valdes, 2) Eric Abidal, 3) Carle's Puyol,4) Dani Alaves,5)Andres Iniesta, 6) Xavi Hernandez,7) Javier Mascherano,8) Yaya Toure,9) Thierry Henry,10) Samuel Eto'o, 11) Pedro Rodriguez, 12 ) David Villa. Now only three players remain at Barcelona from this great team and era And they are also on the verge of retiring a few years they are 1)Lionel Messi 32 yeas, 2) Sergio Busquets, 3 years and Gerrard Pique,33 years.. I am sure you will agree here that to replace these 15 players at Barcelona will be next to impossible and that to very soon. But there is no gloom and doom at Barcelona a youngsters have graduated to fill these giant boots.

IT IS TRUE ENGLISH FOOTBALLERS DRINK MORE.

It is Indeed very true that the English footballers are more famous for their drinking bouts. Like Paul Mearson Paul Gascoigne , wayne Rooney.
But you never hear of footballers in Spain , say the Barcelona famous players like Messi, Xavi and the others , even Ronaldo has not been caught drinking and reporting next day for training.
One English player who has been clean of this problem is David Beckham, who does not drink,the footballers in England are paid far to much,their reason is they pay 50 percent tax.While Italian and Spanish footballers pay less tax, so the best footballers are found there.

THE EL CLASSICO THE CLASSIC.

The El Classico or was it Hell Classico. Barcelona out played , out thought mighty Real Madrid. It was played in the Barcelona Nou camp in front of 98,0000 fans ,who came tosee them beat their hated enemies Real Madrid. Before the match Mourinho boasted tha Ronaldo would be the star of the el Classico, and Ronaldo said as Barcelona had scored 8 goals against Almeria , let them try that with us, Barcelona almost scored the8 goals. Ronaldo and Real madrid were chasing shadows , and then letting their tempers get the better of them, a total of 13 yellow and 1 red card Real had 8yellow and one red ramos was sent of.

xavi opened the scoring followed by two goals by David Villa, Pedro joined the party. And the fifth was scored by new boy from Venezuela Jefferren Suarez , that goal took 29 passes before netting it. Barcelona had 7 world cup players from Spain in the team, Real had three players, but the goalkeeper Iker Casillas was mostly plucking the ball from his net. It was Pep Guardiolas 5 El Classico win in 5 games. This time Messi failed to score a goal but he made two , and so Real Madrids 25 game winning run ended. For Mourinho it was a Hell Classico and back to the drawing board. One thing was clear the money did not help Real here, as they fail to produce youngsters like Barcelona.

THE GREAT EUSIBIO HAS SAID THE RIGHT THING.

The great Eusibio has said the very correct thing, that the reason for the very big stars that failed to shine in the 2010 world cup was that they all were paid far, far to much money. and money had gone to their heads I would say. Not one from any country did well or score any goals like, Messi, Rooney, Ribery, while Ronaldo and Drogba scored lucky goals just one. Henry also failed.
