Correctly predicted France to win World Cup 2018
Barca lost the first game against Inter 3:1 and the matches against Chelsea were close. So what i'm trying to say here is that -despite having some world class plays in their games, they faced opponents who they were unable to blow out of the water in the aformentioned period of time. Real also managed to get their hands on the Copa. So it's possible to downplay their dominating period a bit.Pep's Barcelona changed a whole generation of teams. People still now refer to them as the reference and probably will for a very long time. Never in the history of the game did big games between two equally big clubs look as one sided as they did in that 2009-2011. And we're not even talking about the trophy count here which also trumps basically everyone. This century at least, you have that team standing alone at the top followed by a bunch of teams who are more "normal" top teams which includes us 2008, Bayern 2013 and Real 2017.
Last season i think Real weren't good but because of a poor competition and luck in the draws they managed to pull it off. This season is different, they're rolling, no chance whatsover, they move the ball around and always find the necessary pockets of space.
Barca between 2009-2011 were a very good side, who played good attacking and clever defensive football. But for me they didn't revolutionize the game.
