The 2011 Champions League winning team Barcelona produced is the best team I’ve ever watched in the sport.

When asked if he thought Barca had peaked too early, Enrique said: “I’ve never been anxious about that”.
Barcelona will play Roma on Tuesday night in a big Champions League game as Barca look to confirm top spot in Group E, which would give them a potentially easier route through the knock out rounds of Europe’s top football competition this season.
Manager Luis Enrique is keeping his feet firmly on the ground with regards to watch Barcelona can achieve this season, however. But Roma’s Edin Dzeko then saw a penalty saved by Marc Andre Ter Stegen, although he does score a header with the last act of the game, that does nothing to disguise Barca’s complete dominance.
Gerard Pique and Adriano also scored, with Neymar missing a penalty amid an otherwise sublime performance. A 1-1 draw between BATE Borisov and Bayer Leverkusen in Belarus meant the Catalans were through. “That win has certainly helped us focus on what we need to do in that regard”. “When one starts with the intention to renew, we all know that we can reach an agreement”, Fernandez told Sky Sports.
BATE opened the scoring in the second minute in Belarus when a Mikhail Gordeichuk shot squirmed under Bernd Leno in the away goal, but Admir Mehmedi equalised in the second half.
Three minutes later and following lovely build up play from Suarez and Neymar, Messi lifted the ball over Szczesny from close range in typical style.
Striker Kalifa Coulibaly scored in the fifth minute of injury time as Gent won 2-1 at Lyon on Tuesday to maintain its chances of qualifying for the knockout stages of the Champions League.
Barcelona coach Luis Enrique attempted to lessen any disappointment Roma may have after their 6-1 humiliation at Camp Nou, reiterating that it is hard for any side to face his side on current form. We’re at a good moment and we have to take maximum advantage. “They are out of this world and you can’t play against them right now”.
