Barcelona's Best Ever XI

[LFCB]

Who would you put in this side?
Instantly Messi, Xavi and Iniesta are there.

Will players get into the side on merit, or the team they were in?

Ronaldinho, Alves safe

 

[LFCB]

 

[Messigician]

Pretty obvious

Ronaldinho Suarez Messi
Iniesta Busquets Xavi
Alba Pique Puyol Alves
Zubizarreta

 

[Messi983]

All time XI:

Ramallets/Zubi
Alves-Migueli/Koeman-Puyol-Abidal
Xavi-Pep-Iniesta
Cruyff-Kubala-Messi


Best XI of the 21st century:

Bravo
Alves-Pique-Puyol-Abidal
Xavi-Busi-Iniesta
R10-Eto'o-Messi

That's easy

Valdez/Zubi
Alves-Pique/Keoman-Puyol-Abidal
Xavi-Busi-Iniesta
R10-Eto'o-Messi

Would destroy 99% of teams all time.

All in their prime:

R10 - Eto'o - Messi
Xavi - Iniesta - Busquets
Abidal - Puyol - Pique - Alves
Victor Valdes

Prime R10 (04-06) and prime Messi (08-15) on the wings with Mr. CL in the middle...not a better attack ever IMO.

 

[Morten]

All-time Barca team without Cruyff, really?

You would think he was automatically in there, even if you hadn't actually seen him play.
Also, Pique over Koeman? I don't know about that.

Valdes

Dani Alves Puyol Pique Van Bronckhorst


Busquets

Xavi Iniesta


Messi Stoichkov Ronaldinho

I would have love to include Ronaldo and Laudrup as Cruyff loved playing in diamond formation where even the DM at times played in CF position. This is my personal XI as I include players I witnessed myself on TV. Otherwise not including Cruyff, one the greatest footballers of all time, would be blasphemy.

Alba definitely an individually better player than Abidal. If we want maximum output from Messi it's Alba who's got the left side covered. He might be a crybaby but he's always performed when surrounded by top players.
Defensively Abidal is superior, but we're Barca, we don't do defence.

G/A per game for Barca:
0.31 Alves
0.27 Alba
0.06 Abidal

Yeah, I'd go for the 2011 team but simply add Alba to the LB. I think it would be the best possible TEAM you could make, not only from Barcelona but overall. Maybe, maybe add Ronaldo/Suarez/Eto'o instead of either Pedro or Villa but I am not so sure.

There is only one Mr.CL

Agree with the corrections if we are sticking with 21ct century
