F.C Barcelona is considered to be the best team in the world. Theyve had
many victories and accomplishments. Real Madrid fans would disagree with
Barcelona because they are bitter enemies. Their rivalry is one of the biggest
rivalries in sports. Throughout the years, Barcelona has proved that theyre a great
team and improved skills.
Fans are at each others throats when the compare these two teams. They
compare every detail. Who has the most trophies? Who has better players? Who
won more matches? The most famous comparison is their iconic players, Messi vs.
Ronaldo. Messi is the star player from F.C. Barcelona. He has won many trophies
with Barcelona. Fans compare Messi and Ronaldo because they both play with the
best teams and they are fighting to see who the best in the world is. Barcelona has
won many trophies recently. Last season they won three major trophies. Madrid
came in 2nd place in one of those competitions against Barcelona. Its always
Barcelona and Madrid on the top every season.
Barcelonas style to play has been named Tiki Taka. Its a signature style
because how they pass the ball is unique. Barcelona is famous for their style and
technique .How they pass the ball is said to be a masterpiece. In every match,
Barcelona has always managed to keep possession of the ball for more than 50% of
the match. They havent received a red card this season. Barcelonas offense is
feared by a lot of teams. The offense is known to be deadly because they score
each game. They also have a well known defense. Theyve only lost two games in
this season so far. They are in 2nd place under Real Madrid but they have the same
amount of points. The difference is that they have different amount of goals scored.
The amount of trophies Barcelona has won is impressive. The Champions
league is a competition where the entire top teams in Europe face against each
other. Winning the Champions league is a huge honor. Barcelona has won the
champions league five times. They won it in the seasons of 1991-1992, 2005-2006,
2008-2009, 2010-2011, and 2014-2015. In their league in Spain called the Spanish
League Championship, they won the trophy 23 times. In total F.C. Barcelona has
won 125 trophies. They won all major competitions last season. Every teams dream
is winning all major competitions in one season.

Each player in Barcelona is special and plays an important role in the team.
They are not cocky and pass the ball to every one of their teammates. Gerard Pique
plays as the defender. He is tall and strong and isnt scared of anyone. He makes
sure that no one breaks formation in the defense and makes sure no one gets to the
goalkeeper. Theyve only conceded 12 goals in the season so far. The midfield is
where the magic happens. The captain of F.C. Barcelona is Andres Iniesta. Hes been
in Barcelona since he was 12 years old. He is the play maker and has great vision on
the pitch. The offense in the team is lethal. Theyve scored 22 goals so far in the
league. Last season, Barcelona have scored an average of 140 goals in all the
seasons theyve played.The star on the team is Lionel Messi. He has won many
awards because of the kind of player he is. He is the most feared player because of
his speed and dribbling. Messi has been top scorer in many seasons. He has many
individual trophies and is considered the best player in the world.
F.C. Barcelona is not just a team. Their slogan, Mes que un club, more than
a club means they are not just a soccer team. This slogan can be interpreted in
many ways. The way I see it is that they are more than a team, theyre a family. No
matter who you are, you will always be welcomed in the Barcelona family. This is
why they are the best team in the world.
