The FC Barcelona of Ernesto Valverde follows with firm step his career in all the competitions with the intention to win all the possible titles. However, line by line, would be upper to the team directed by Guardiola seven years ago?
The FC Barcelona of Ernesto Valverde has near at hand another record this same weekend in front of the Eibar in Ipurúa. The technician extremeño could equalise the best series of imbatibilidad of the Barça in LaLiga, reaching the 31 meetings without losing that it attained the team of Pep Guardiola in the 2010-11. Line by line, which of the two teams is better?
The Barça of Guardiola against the one of Valverde, line by line
Goal
Duel between Víctor Valdés and Marc André Ter Stegen. True is that the Catalan turned into legend of the goal of the FC Barcelona. However, the of Ter Stegen in the present season is brushing the perfection. Probably, we are in front of the cancerbero more complete of the Barcelona history: it saves points with anthological stops and has a colossal game of feet.
Defence
It is very difficult to think in which defence was better. I hammered it is the only man that repeats in said line. In the one of the Barça of Guardiola, myths like Dani Alves or Carles Puyol. In the current of Ernesto Valverde, the surprising Samuel Umtiti or Jordi Alba, that seems to be in the best moment of his career. For the moment, the figures seem to give light advantage to the Barça of Valverde, that has fit only 11 so many in 23 parties, by the 21 of the group of Guardiola when finish the season.
Centre of the field
The centre of the field shares to two players, as Sergio Busquets and Andrés Iniesta. The one of Badía keeps the big level that elevated him in the summit, whereas the manchego, that seemed affected by his age, is living a second youth. In spite of that Valverde has arguments like Paulinho or Rakitic, the differential factor of Guardiola was Xavi Hernández. This centre of the field seems inigualable.
Forward
Pep Guardiola had the 'MVP' formed by Messi, Villa and Pedro, elevating the figure of marked goals to 95 in the championship suspender belt. The Barça current carries 60 in 23 days and, in spite of that seems complicated to equalise the figure, the Argentinian forward and Luis Suárez seem had to help to exceed it. Two fearsome forwards. However, this Barça of Guardiola won the 'doublet', something by what the one of the Txingurri has to work a lot.
