    The best pure striker in the world.

    I'm not sure if you'd wanna call Zlatan a pure striker, but definitely the best player on this list.

    Andrés Iniesta

    Yeah uhmm...taking away Iniesta from the side during Pep's tenure would have been a huge big deal in terms of how badly the team was affected, very much comparable with taking Xavi out and that legendary run would have played out very differently. Likewise Puyol and Messi. This sentiment that...

    Gerard Piqué

    Yeah, sell Pique, what a bum. I mean, what kinda CB actually needs to play alongside other competent defenders? Why on earth can't he just play all four positions at the back and look amazing doing it?!?

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    All three goals from open play were pretty sharp finishes, two were quite excellent..

    Pedro Rodriguez

    I will agree with that when the team is not performing properly and are up against it he's not gonna produce a moment of magic to help turn things around the way Messi could, and that while nobody can there are plenty of forwards around who are better than Pedro is in that regard. When the chips...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v2

    Wasn't better in the WC, and the defense and Diego Milito were more important to the the treble, not to mention Mourinho tbh.

    Pedro Rodriguez

    His touch has not really declined, nor his finishing. In what was then the most important match of the season (home game vs Milan) his control and one touch passing were fantastic. Then again, against PSG, the touch was there and the finish as well when it mattered most. He did give the ball...

    Pedro Rodriguez

    Most of it seems to be down to factors which are absolutely out of his control. I missed the latest match but generally his touch / passing / movement / decision making etc have all been pretty much the same - excellent. The team as a whole plainly operates very different to how it did two years...

    Alex Song

    I think Busi is still better when on form, he just plainly has not been for a good spell now and Song definitely seems better at the moment. In hindsight he very obviously should have played against Bayerm imo.

    Onside, fantastic goal that. Lets see 3-1 !

    Gerard Piqué

    In fairness, he did not have one remotely reliable defender to work with back there. Lead Alves, Alba and Barta to look defensively sound against that side? Can't imagine Puyol would have done it either. That one was not a bad defensive play..Pique had Martinez well covered and Gomez was...

    Pedro Rodriguez

    Pedro has done fantastic on the wings for Barca before, and still is doing for Spain. Not to mention there's nothing wrong with him, nothing to point at except maybe a lack of aggressive runs toward danger areas in the box for Barca which we've seen so often that it's plainly the fault of...

    Alex Song

    Actually, in 2009 during the away legs Pep always played two of Keita/Toure/Busquets. And Xavi/Keita/Busquets was played in 2 of the 3 in 2011. Wasn't quite double pivots but the midfields were adjusted for those matches. And the main problems were definitely in defense imo.

    Pedro Rodriguez

    He's been on fire (in terms of scoring) for Spain. His touch / passing /awareness / focus etc have all been on point for Barca. Very very obviously not down to him declining as a player and definitely is down to the way he's used by management within the overall system.

    Daniel Alves

    Seems to me he had lots of great pieces of skill going forward (at least first half) but lots of idiotic decision making and poorly placed passes. Suspect in defense.
