Bayern vs Barcelona
Is this Bayern anything close to Barcelona ?
I think, if we exclude Messi, Bayern is slightly better than Barcelona.
Whats your opinion?
P.S. I hope Liverpool fans dont spam this thread. Stay away!

Barca under Pep or current Barca?

Re: Bayern vs Barcelona
Barca under Pep were better. The pressing was better, so was the possession and they had Messi. Bayern under Pep however are more versatile, because they counter better, they can cross, long balls, add physicality when needed etc. However that Barca team was just on another level. Bayern under Pep have the potential to be as good as them.

Re: Bayern vs Barcelona
I think Barca under Pep was better, probably the greatest ever, not sure about any team will get to their level.
I think last years Bayern were better than they are now, but Bayern are just few more Dortmund players away from reaching Barca.

Barca under Pep were better than Buyern, at least in La Liga they had Madrid who were almost as good. In Bundes Buyern just have it easy like Celtic.

Re: Bayern vs Barcelona
Stop comparing Barca to other top teams. We are mediocre. Go and compare Bayern with Real Madrid, fss.

Re: Bayern vs Barcelona
I think we were better, simply because it was 4 years of great stuff, including 2 CL. This Bayern are yet to win 1.
In terms of the pitch, I believe we were better because the individual talent of Messi and his in prime boys Iniesta and Xavi.
Bayern perhaps have more options, but none as dominant as Messi was at that time.
Bayern are bigger, more physical and have more ways to score. Are a danger in both boxes aerially.
The truth is, the only way real way to compare is what they win and Bayern are technically yet to anything major. You compare teams like this after years of winning, just like we were told (and said) after our 6 titles in 1 year and people trying to compare us to Sacchi's Milan.

Re: Bayern vs Barcelona
On the course of the season Bayern are better due to their depth. Barca's best squad was in 2009, but not as good as Bayern's. In an encounter between Pepcelona and Pep's Bayern, the former would win. I've never seen Bayern perform at Barca's 2011 final level. The germans are more versatile, but Barca's tiki taka 2009-11 was too good.

Re: Bayern vs Barcelona
Ahh, this thread is supposed to be about Pep's Barca vs. Pep's Bayern. Well, then obviously from Pep's current Bayern team only Neuer would get into Barca's 2008 / 2009 team.
2008 / 2009:
Henry Eto'o Messi
Iniesta Xavi
Yaya / Busquets
Abidal Puyol Pique Alves
VV
(Xaviesta in their primes, Puyol in his prime, pre-Shakira Pique, Messi actually moving instead of trotting around, Henry and Eto'o upfront ...)
vs.
Ribery Mandzukic Robben
Thiago Kroos
Lahm
Alaba Dante Boateng Rafinha
Neuer
Think that's an easy one.
I also disagree that Pep's Bayern are better at counterattacks, physically or aerially than Pep's Barca. Thiago, Kroos, Lahm isn't any more physical than Barca's midfield. According to OPTA Pep's Bayern have scored 1 counterattacking goal so far the entire season. Mandzukic is a beast in the air but yeah ... I'd take prime Eto'o over him in a heartbeat regardless.

Re: Bayern vs Barcelona
Lahm over Yaya/Busquets. Puyol wasn't in his prime in 2008-09, but still better than Boateng and Dante. Can't say the same about Pique. Ribery may be better than that year's Henry.

Puyol was pretty much in his prime years around 2008 as 2 years later in 2010 he still dominated a World Cup and in 2011 still dominated Real Madrid. There is even a bumped thread in the general section about it.
Lahm over Busquets possibly because Busquets was 19 that season.
Ribery wasn't better than Henry. It was Henry's best ever season at Barca, scoring 26 goals and giving double digit assist from the left wing and overall performing like this:

what world cup did he dominate ? he along with pique could have cost spain the title for the mistakes in the final. one goal against Germany doesn't change anything.

Re: Bayern vs Barcelona
Pls elaborate how this is Puyol's fault:
It's off-topic anyway. Puyol 2008 >>>>> Dante and Boateng. lol

Re: Bayern vs Barcelona
We can't make comparison just yet. The Bayern side are yet to play exactly the way Pep wants them, give them about 2-3 years then we can, but they do have the potential to be as good if not better and I wouldn't put it past Pep to get the job done.

There is no way the current crop of players will be peak in 2-3 years, there are too many key members of their squad over 30 for that to be the case.

Re: Bayern vs Barcelona
12/13 Bayern were stronger offensively and defensively than Chelsea in 08/09 and Barcelona barely got past them. Took Ovrebo and a late Iniesta screamer to go through on away goals.

Re: Bayern vs Barcelona
Not sure about that though I was about to agree. Barcelona in 10-11 though was just stunning. Whole world knew that semi-final was about who'd win the CL and Barcelona absolutely raped United in the final. Don't really want to choose one team. Both on par the best teams since 95 ( )Lupi wrote: Heynckes bayern > Barcelona and pep bayern
Don't think it makes a lot of sense comparing any of those two teams to pep bayern right now. At least wait till the end of the season

Well, Barca in 08/09 were stronger offensively and defensively than Bate Borisov in 12/13 and yet you lost against Borisov..
And if you want to give credit to Ovrebo for Barca qualifying for the final, then you should probably also credit Ovrebo and Stark for Chelsea being ahead. In the first leg, Eto'o had a one-on-one with Cech that Stark wrongly whistled for offside and later in the 2nd half, didn't give Barca a penalty for the clearest penalty of both games when Bosingwa pulled down Henry inside the penalty area. While in the 2nd leg, in the 4th minute Ballack handled the ball inside the penalty area and later the Ovrebo sent off Abidal thanks to an Anelka dive.
So yeah, if Barca qualified thanks to Ovrebo, then Chelsea were ahead at some point thanks to BOTH Ovrebo AND Stark..

+1. Or better, wait a couple of seasons and judge then.
But even then I don't get this GL urge to make absolute lists of x > y > z.
I for one am very happy about the state of my club and I know we have a team that will be remembered, and I don't feel the need to claim that we are or will be better than Barca at their peak.
Credit where it's due. One person's high doesn't have to require another one's low.

Re: Bayern vs Barcelona
By the end of 3-4 years this Bayern will surpass Barca. There is no doubt. This is only the begining. Robbery has 2-3 more good years & Thiago-Kroos-Goetze are peaking.
You add Lewandoswki next season and this will be an unstoppable monster. This is only the 1st season and the team is learning to play under Guardiola.
