Guardiola said in his book that his Barcelona never played better than against Chelsea in the first half of the semi 2012, so we eliminated the best team ever playing at their best with 10 men.

Quite odd because their 5-0 spanking against Real Madrid comes in mind, possibly the best team performance I've ever seen.

And tbf, the first half Barca did play some brilliant one touch football and only themselves to blame for not finishing their chances.

That 2011-12 Barca team was by far the best I have ever seen even if they lacked pragmatism.

It took incredible leadership and just immense raw desire for us to knock them out. Not to mention a whole lot of luck.

Whole whole whole lot of this haha.

2010-2011 team was better imo. Messi was just a goal scoring freak in 2012 but as a team, 2011 for me.

Hmm debatable. I think by 2012 they had lost a bit of motivation, but when they turned it on I think they were even better than 2010. Their pressing in particular was something out of this world. Either way, it was some achievement to knock them out with 10 men.
