http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809’s Pepe Reina heaps praise on Barcelona – EPL news
Liverpool goalkeeper, Pepe Reina, has claimed that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 are the best footballing side he has ever seen. The Spaniard’s comments come just days after Barca’s UEFA Champions League triumph against Manchester United.
Barcelona met the Red Devils in the 2011 Champions League final at Wembey Stadium on the May 28,
2011. Many had predicted a close contest between the two teams, especially considering that both clubs represent the best of their respective domestic leagues. However, the Catalans completely demolished Manchester United, romping to a comfortable 3-1
victory on the night.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson should have learned a few harsh lessons from his side’s defeat to Barcelona in the 2009 final, and it was widely thought that the Scot would be better equipped to prepare his side against the passing style of the Spanish Champions. However,
even the legendary tactician could find no answer to Barcelona’s trio of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296, Xavi Hernandez, and Andres Iniesta. The three players managed to complete more passes than the entire Manchester United squad, underlining Barca’s complete dominance of
the match.
In the wake of their humbling at Wembley, Sir Alex admitted that he has never faced a side like Barcelona before. Liverpool goalkeeper, Pepe Reina, has gone one step further, claiming that the current Catalan squad is undoubtedly the best football team he
has ever had the privilege of seeing.
Speaking on the matter, Reina said, “They’re the best team I’ve seen in my life. Xavi and Iniesta are the best players in their position in the world. They are world leaders in every sense.”
Reina has seen first-hand exactly what the Barcelona midfield is capable of, having played with both Xavi and Iniesta in the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 national team. He added, “Fortunately, they (Xavi and Iniesta) are Spanish. They’re the two best players in the world at giving
the final pass.”
Though http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pepe-Reina-c29672 had been tipped to leave Liverpool in the summer transfer window, the Spaniard has recently revealed that he would like to remain at Anfield for the foreseeable future.
