[Serie A] JUVENTUS 1-0 Roma [December 23rd 2017] (10 Viewers)
- Thread starter Hust
- Start date
Pep's Barca should've won more, but whether it was due to Pep's reluctance to change things up slightly or motivation, they came up short vs inferior & organized teams a few too many times.
I've never seen a team possessed or press like Bayern that year. I'm fairly certain that Bayern would've beaten any of the Barca teams under Pep, but Pep's Barca is a bigger legacy of course.
LE's Barca was being compared to Pep's at the end LE's first year, and many said LE's team was better. Stats agree, I disagree, but that's indeed a better comparison.
Sacchi's & Capello's Milan, with everyone fit, would've also given Pep's Barca a run for their money. But Heynckes' Bayern edges them IMO even though they're the worst technically. But physically, don't know what he fed them that year. I've never seen any other team run or press like that.
Onto to more important matters, who's that fine specimen in your ava?

Heynckes Bayern was not sustainable for more than one season
The players ran themselves into the ground for that whole season and i'm pretty sure there would have been a big drop in form if he was there the next seaosn
Overall that Bayern team was the most balanced team I have ever seen, no weaknesses in any area and solid back to front with good attacking football on offer
They were quite poor in the final I have to say and almost blew it because they looked very nervous compared to all the other matches before that
Guardiola's Barca dominated for the best part of 4 years
I never seen teams surrender to them like any other team and turtle up for the whole match
They were by far the most gifted team I have ever seen and to beat Barca you needed a lot of luck due to the fact a team was luky to get more than 3-4 chances a game against them while the rest of the match was spent defending in their own half against them
