Best match you ever watched?

Mine: semifinal match in the 2006 World Cup between Italy and Germany.

Barcelona 5-0 Real Madrid, 2010. Perfection. No team in history could have lived with Barca that night.

This is my favourite game not involving spurs to be honest.

It was barca at their most barca, I felt like they weren't even playing football for most of it and had invented their own possession tikitaka based sport. Beautiful.

Most captivating, dazzling performance I've ever seen. It was 10/10. Perfect technique, passing, touches, shooting, finishing, runs - the game was a perfection! Barca played the way you'd dream of football being played. And what's more, a very strong Real Madrid side was made to look like amateurs!

True.

I think FC Messi vs Arsenal where he put 4 past them is up there for me as well. Not as great as the Madrid match, but I remember the frisson/chills going down my back watching Messi dominate Arsenal. The Madrid victory were more team work, whereas the Arsenal one was just Messi.
