Everyone raves about how great Pep Guardiola was at Barcelona (he was)!

Current boss Luis Enrique has been even better – and we’ve got the proof!

  1. OFFICIALLY 0.5 BETTER!

Our experts have rated the class of 2010-11 – who won La Liga that season by four points, comfortably beating Man. United in the Champions League final AND won the Club World Cup and Spanish Super Cup – but the current crop are still better!

No Barca team has EVER had a front three like this. Come to think of it, has ANY team ever had a more potent forward line? Check out their stats in all comps this term!

SUAREZ  – 35 games/39 goals 

NEYMAR – 37 games/26 goals       

MESSI – 37 games/29 goals

  1. NOTHING CAN STOP THIS MAN!

Not even a transfer ban! Barca boss Luis Enrique wasn’t allowed to sign a single player in 2015, yet he still won all this lot in his first season in charge!

La Liga, Copa Del Rey, Champions League, Super Cup, Club World Cup

  1. THE RECORD BREAKERS!

This month the Barcelona class of 2015-16 smashed a club record by recording their 29th game unbeaten. Surely they can now be considered the best team in the club’s 116-year history?
