Att: 86 / Mid: 86 / Def: 83 There was a time just two seasons ago when it looked like Barca were completely untouchable. In the 2008/09, 2009/2010, 2010/11 and 2011/2012 they won La Liga (with the exception of 2011/12) and the UEFA Champions League and won the Copa del Rey in all but one of these seasons. It was this Barca team under the leadership of Pep Guardiola which is considered to be one of if not the greatest team of all-time. However, we are now going into the 2014/15 season; Guardiola has moved on from the Camp Nou to the Allianz Arena and Barcelonas stranglehold over club football no longer exists. In spite of their fall from grace in the Champions League getting systematically flattened 7-0 on aggregate in the 2012/13 tournament and despite no longer being the behemoths of La Liga, the Catalan team are still arguably the greatest club team in FIFA 14. The fact that Barcelona are rated as being better than Bayern Munich is flabbergasting. EA need to recognise in FIFA 15 that this is no longer 2010 and Barcelona are no longer the irresistible force they once were. The decline of Xavi once the conductor who brought the mighty orchestra that was Barcelona to life is a major factor in the Spanish giants fall from power.
