I think it’s only logical to consider this Barcelona squad in the argument of the best club teams off all-time. The others to be considered, in my eyes, are Milan in the late 80’s, Manchester United 98/99, Bayern Munich in the mid-70’s, Ajax of the early 70’s, and Liverpool of the late 70’s. In the past seven months, they have won: La Liga, Copa del Rey, Spanish Super Cup, UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, and now the FIFA World Club Cup titles. I know the Spanish Super Cup is probably a bit of a Mickey Mouse trophy, but Barcelona can only beat who is on the schedule, and they’ve done that over and over since the beginning of the 08/09 season. Today’s win carried a bit of drama with it, as Pedro equalized for Barcelona in the 88th minute, and Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi put away the winner in extra time. Both came in strange fashion, as Pedro scored with his head, and Messi scored with his chest. This team is something to behold, and I’m happy I’m around to witness the greatness they have put on display over the past year and a half.
