Oh yes, the golden era... That's when, I jumped into the manchester united bandwagon.
I think the easiest way to answer that is to say who would get in the current barca side from back then in 1999. Scymeichel would for valdes keane for busquests and and solskier for villa.
In which case there is no comparison. Man Utd won the champions league that year with two scrappy goals in the last minute against Bayern, Barca have two champions league titles in the last three years playing just about the best football ever.
Great question, but you answered it yourself. In your own words Barcelona's football is out of this world, 1999 Man Utd's was dramatic. The current Barcelona team play other teams off the pitch from start to finish and won their recent European titles by simply outclassing opponents.
Man Utd won the treble in 1999 by never giving in until the final whistle and showing a will to win that no team in Europe could match. They were outplayed by Bayern Munich in the 1999 final for 85 minutes and should have been well beaten, but they just did not give up and deservedly won because they played for the full 90 minutes. Both are great sides.
That united team was the luckiest team of all time. Present day Barca would make a holy show of the Munich or United team from that era.
This present day Barcelona would beat Manchester United 1999. Manchester United 1999 wasn't even really that good. In fact, really no United year in history was ever as amazing as this current Barcelona team. Any team of Manchester United's compared to this Barcelona team would simply lose.
Not by much though. A goal or two, maybe. And that is only because of United's work ethic.
They never stop attacking. I mean come on, this Barcelona team is almost the World XI right now. Every player on their team is simply superb.
Iniesta, Xavi, Messi, Pique, etc. All amazing players. I'll simulate the match against Man. United 1999 against this Barcelona: Man.
United 1999_______2 - 3_____FC Barcelona 2011 '34 Dwight Yorke________________ '18 Xavi '86 Solskjaer___________________'40 Messi ______________________________'61 Messi.
A man utd team of any era is simply no match to barcelona. Period.
Schmeichel > Valdes Neville Pique Irwin > Abidal Keane > Busquets Scholes > Xavi Giggs Pedro Player wise, Man Utd wins 6-5 But Barcelona as a team are rated higher because of their success of the past 3 years! That Man Utd team still was pretty good though!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
