6-0 Xavi
There's a difference when bayern did it in a one off year like last year, when they had a perfect season, compared to Barca who's been doing it for years now. I'm not trying to take anything away from Barca, but the opposition could surely put up more of a fight, or at least try more defensive tactics against them.The Bundesliga must be shit then as well. Or Bayern and Barcelona must just be that good and ruthless.
To be fair the United and Chelsea games were in competitions that didn't mean much to either, as Ajax were giving United trouble. The Spanish league isn't weak though, you're right, but i don't think that there is ever a middle ground. You'll get people underrating the other clubs or they will be way overrated.
Everton/Swansea/Liverpool would all give the Spanish equivalents good games imo and it would even out if they played 10 games vs each other.
Which is less than winning almost 4 or 5 nil. Barcelona last season were more prone to conceding as well. Often won 3-1 or 4-2, scores like that.Barca averaged 3 goals per game in the league last season, ending with 115 goals.
Absolutely beautiful. Football like this is why I have such a soft spot for them.
Lol at certain Barcelona fans who thought Fabregas wasn't good enough. He's unbelievable!
You're spot on. Some teams have actually rested players against Real and Barca for games they actually had a chance of winningThere's a difference when bayern did it in a one off year like last year, when they had a perfect season, compared to Barca who's been doing it for years now.

Today though barcas passing is just perfect though to be fair. Pretty much everything coming off.
if you looked at my first post, you'd see that I was praising Barca and how incredible their first touch is compared to other leagues. I'm not in any way trying to say premier league is best league ever or what not.we all get it, la liga is shit, the premier is great
now. you "we all know about football" like walsh, bosnoian and paz, kindly, go to another thread

Every Barca and Real player will have great seasons.Absolutely brilliant goal, and what a play by Fabregas. He is going to have a great season this time.
We can engage this another time but there are several teams in La Liga that are as tough to face as Bilbao as many United are familiar with
I like the look of the team despite a short pre-season, the body language, interviews and play has reflected a team that is motivated and playing with a chip on their shoulder - we'll see if this carries over to Europe etc. but this isn't simply a case of Levante laying down
Not in England at least. When Wolves I think it was who rested their team against us there was a massive shit storm. The commentators for La liga regularly mention teams resting their playersYou know that happens in every league right?
We want 10! We want 10!

I would think it's a combination of both. Barca look razor sharp even without Neymar & Iniesta on the pitch. As much as Levante will want to play for some pride now, I think they've given up. It's just a matter of stopping 10-0 I think
We beat villa 8-0 last year. Can Barca better that here?Barcelona playing like Chelsea here.
