I doubt the editor saw him play, considering Di Stefano's real career ended in the early 60's, same goes for Barcelona's Alvarez of the 1930/50's.

True. But seeing as their records are in tact as top goal scorers, I'd have thought mentions of them.

Still very very strong teams they've lined up!

Was funny last year when Jose knocked Barca out of the competition they believed they owned.

Kluivert for Deco in my opinion too.

Kluivert doesn't play in midfield dude! I would rather add Cruyff in that Barcelona team somewhere rather than Deco in all honesty!

Indeed, the gold paint part was a diss to Beckham.

Interesting day in La Liga today!

First Real lost 3-2 to Real Zaragoza! Then Barcelona lost 2-1 to Real Sociedad! Barca could've one 11pts clear

In all the times I saw Kluivert play, I've never seen him play in defensive midfield

I'm guessing I could be proved wrong

No,not that I know of. At the time Barca had a dutch dozen of players that could play midfield/defence. So i don't think Kluivert was ever needed there.

The front Barca 3 in the late 90's of Figo,kluivert, and Rivaldo was lethal. I remember Vialli saying it's the best strike force in Europe and boy he wasn't wrong.

As for them teams,I think they are the best XI 's from this millenium/century/decade (or whatever else). I was going to say you could add Figo into the Barca side too but he never really played for them in the noughties.

If it was the best Barca XI of all time then I think Rivaldo would be a strong contender to get in the side.

Cristiano Ronaldo <3

Ronaldo : 52 Games, 49 Goals (excluding one controversial decision), 2 games in hand

Messi : 53 Games, 52 Goals , 4 games in hand

For the season, these two guys are just class apart from any footballer in the world.
