Five Barcelona players in the “L’Equipe” Team of the Year 2010
The Spanish Champions Barcelona have been dominant in not only the Spanish La Liga but also in Europe. For the past few years they have won the UEFA Champions League and currently they are equipped with two Spanish La Liga titles that they won in a row.
This season, the Catalans were to face stiff competition as Jose Mourinho was employed at Real Madrid but even the Los Blancos were no match for the La Blaugrana as Josep Guardiola’s men totally destroyed the Madridsters winning 5-0 at the Nou Camp.
With the Ballon d’Or awards approaching and all the three finalists being named from Barcelona, there is no doubt that the La Blaugrana are currently considered to be the favourites to win everything that they are a part of. The Spanish Champions are the
favourites to win not only their domestic league title but also the UEFA Champions League. With extraordinary talented players coming through the ranks of the La Masia, Barcelona have now managed to make great players who will go down in the history of Josep
Guardiola’s “Dream Team.”
The French magazine L’Equipe named the dream team of the year 2010 as the next year is about to start and even the French couldn’t help but name at least five Barcelona players in their list. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-Busquets-c33048, Xavi Hernandez, Andres Iniesta
and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 were named in the magazine as L’Equipe listed down its team of the year 2010.
With these five players named in the French magazine, it means that Barcelona are now going to gain even more international recognition. They have already won great awards in the past and even individually the players have proven themselves time and time
again and yet again the La Blaugrana have proven themselves to be one of the greatest sides in the world.
The magazine wrote a little about the players as well. The defender Gerard Pique was the first one because of his position. The magazine stated that his inclusion in the team of the year is because of the fact that his partnership with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carles-Puyol-c8331 was crucial
for not only Barcelona but also Spain as they won the FIFA World Cup 2010.
Sergio Busquets was the second player to be mentioned. He also received fulsome praise as the magazine stated that his presence in Barcelona and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 is vital. They said that the way he plays for both the teams requires skill and patience with the player
possessing both.
Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta were listed next and according to the magazine, Xavi Hernandez is a complete midfielder. Moreover they also stated that Andres Iniesta and Xavi Hernandez’s bond is simply extraordinary and that is the reason why Barcelona
dominates the midfield completely.
They also mentioned the current best player in the world Lionel Messi. The magazine insisted that he is a player who makes the exceptional look ordinary. It also stated that Lionel Messi is a player who truly performs for the fans and there is no doubt that
he is an extraordinary talent.
Other than the five Barcelona players, the Real Madrid goalkeeper http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152 Coentrao
were a part of the team of the year. Therefore, the Spanish Champions are the side with the most representatives (five) just above the European Champions http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan who had three.
