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.
Mr Juan Laporte was the president of Barcelona in the year 2003.
And that year the Portuguese club Sporting Lisbon had offered their 17,seventeen year old youngster Cristiano Ronaldo. Now the agent in the meeting at Barcelona said they were asking 19, nineteen million pounds from Manchester United , but would be willing to sell the youngster to Barcelona for 17,seventeen million pounds.
But Barcelona rejected the offer because they had bought a striker in the famous Brazilian footballer Ronaldhino. And he was very popular at Barcelona won the La Liga,Copa Del Rey Cups, Champion League and the Ball loon d'Or as wel.
And another reason was that at that time Lionel Messi was on the horizon of playing his first game for Barcelona in 2005.
And it was Ronoldhino who taught Lionel Messi tricks skills and kicks, he was a fatherly figure to Lionel Messi.
So Juan Lapoerte says he has no regrets for not signing Cristiano Ronaldo.
And the rest is history.
The Portuguese club Sporting Lisbon were willing to sell their highly talented youngster Cristiano Ronaldo , to the Spanish giants Barcelona, and the price was just 15, fifteen million pounds
But Barcelona refused the offer in the year 2003.
But why did Barcelona reject such a good offer from Sporting Lisbon./
The reason-was that Barcelona had already paid for buying two footballers and both were costly and at Barcelona they did very well.
The players Barcelona spent on was Ronaldhino and Rafael Marquez, and were cult figures at Barcelona.
And we must not forget was they also had Lionel Messi on the verge of playing for Barcelona in the Spanish La Liga.
It was because of Ronaldhinoand his skills,tricks and football vision many people took up football .
In the old d Brazil boasted of having a fantastic three R'S.In Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Ronaldhino.
Now Manchester United can boast of their famous three R'S. In Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and Marcus Rushford. These tree players have gone and reached a milestone in their footfall careers. They were the youngest footballers to score fifty goals.
1) Wayne Rooney 22 years and 157 days.
2) Cristiano Ronaldo 22 years and 341 days.
3)Marcus Rushford. 23 years. and 56 days.
