Is there anything more mesmeric and purely joyful to watch than Barcelona in full flow? Through their various iterations, La Blaugrana have managed to merge success with style, establishing themselves as the great entertainers in modern football.

Their political machinations in La Liga, as well as their occasionally fuzzy, inconsistent morality off the field isn't to everybody's tastes, but it is difficult for even Barcelona's most fervent detractors to deny they are one of, if not the, greatest sides of all time.

Barça are pure main event fare - exactly like Shawn Michaels. Unmatched in his technical ability, yet often distasteful away from the ring, HBK's sweet chin music would be more than welcome in the hallowed grounds of Camp Nou.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
