Bayern Munich legend Franz Beckenbauer has insisted that the current Barcelona team is better than the Spanish national side. He stated that the Catalans have set a standard and every club wants to follow the kind of football they
play. He hailed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 as the difference between Barcelona and Spain and admitted that Barcelona are favourites to win the UEFA Champions League again at the end of the campaign.
The Spanish giants won the La Liga and the Champions League last season and lost in the final of the Copa del Rey to rivals Real Madrid. They have started the season again on a brilliant note and are one of the favourites to defend
Europe’s premier club competition this term.
Beckenbauer claimed that Barcelona have set a huge standard in club football and play some brilliant football. He added that their game play has become an inspiration for many other teams as they have a great balance between attack
and defence.
“Barcelona have set the standard in football. They play perfect football because of the finesse of their game, their mobility and the way they move the ball around,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
The former Bavarian insisted that Barcelona are better than the Spain national team as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 does not have a Lionel Messi in their ranks. He hailed the Argentine international as a stunning talent and admitted that the striker
adds great quality to the side.
The former German international claimed that the Catalans definitely have what it takes to defend the Champions League title at the end of the season and the team is much better than some of the best teams in Europe.
“They're even better than the Spanish national team because they have Lionel Messi. They have the quality to successfully defend their Champions League title,” the German concluded.
Franz Beckenbauer made a staggering 427 league appearances for Bayern Munich in his 13 years at the club and scored 60 goals in the process. He also has 103 appearances for West http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904.
