So IMO there is no Best Team in the world right now. It's all even.

Barca's reign was ended not by one club but two(Chelsea and Madrid).

Chelsea, though Europe's champions, can't even get a top 3 finish in their own nation.

Madrid, though dominated their domestic league, was deservedly eliminated by Bayern in Europe and Barca in the Copa.

Juventus was undefeated in their own domestic league, but we all know they need to prove it in Europe first.

Man City, lmao.

Now to Bayern, IMO they were so close to take Barca's throne. Unfortunately for them, they fell short on all three competitions in which i thought they would win at least two.

I just can't see anyone getting the "The Best in the World" tag after this season.

We'll see next season though.

Chelsea won the CL but finished 6th in the league.....

Bayern got to the final but were easily bested by Dortmund in the cup and league.

Madrid won thier league but lost to the only decent opposition that they faced.

City won the league in England but were knocked out in group stages of CL.

Juventus went through thier entire league campaign unbeaten and won the league but wasnt even involved in european competition.

And Barca were 2nd to Madrid in Spain and lost to Chelsea in the CL who as already pointed out were 6th in the PL how can you be the best if you finish 6th in your league?

Theres no outstanding candidate this season to decide who is the best for me.

Now that is out of the way, i personally think Maldini was the better footballer but Nesta was the better defender.

In fact at 22 years of age Nesta is still the best CB i have seen on a consistent basis.
