Who is the best team in Europe?

With Manchester United clinching the title this morning, and Barcelona on the brink, it is very safe to assume that these two have risen head and shoulders above the others. Some in Italy, may want to a vote for Inter Milan, having won two titles in a row and closing in on a third. But, with no reall success in Europe, they are a hard sell. Both Man U and Barca have played consistent and at times very high levels of football and both have dominated their leagues, for large spells during the season.
Most importantly, they will face each other at the end of the month, in the Champion's League decider. With Barca also winning their domestic cup title this week, I would say that with a CL win, they may just edge Man U for best team in Europe. But you can't deny the winner of this greatly anticipated final. Great seasons by both and as a neutral, I hope that the final is keely contested and very entertaining.

Cheers,

  1. I agree with you. It's a tough call. I love both teams dearly. They are both unique in their own rights and it's amazing to see to very different teams rise to the top. Shows there's no one recipe for success! If they were basketball teams I'll say the more defensive team (Man U) wins. Real toss up. But I'll call a 2-1 win Barca to win!
