that barcelona squad thrashed Real Madrid really easily as well. 6-2 at bernabeu and 2-0 at camp nou. They won la liga with 10+ points. Real that year got knocked out at copa del rey by a team of second division. the fact that you won 4-0 that Real does not mean by any chance you could win that Barca side. I am not even a Barca fan, its just crazy what you say 😂. Gerrard, Torres and Alonso were fantastic but still I think xavi, iniesta, Henry and Eto'o and Messi were just too good.

Your a kid so I understand that you don’t even know your history but let me educate you for a minute, to qualify for the European cup you had to have won your domestic league, in the 5 years of the ban, Liverpool won 3 titles Everton won 2 so you never would have even qualified. There was a competition for the first year of the ban called the football league super cup which United were in. In it they lost to Everton and Norwich, didn’t even get out of their group and Liverpool ended up winning it by beating Everton 7-2 over a two legged final.
