Article de Jimmy Burns al Newsweek Magazine de data 3-6-2011 preguntant-se si el Barça és el millor equip de tots els temps després de proclamar-se campió de la Champions davant el Manchester al nou estadi de Wembley.
Do Barca’s players, with their poetic ball skills and precise attacking, surpass the best football teams of all time?
There were chants aplenty at the Champions League final May 28 between FC Barcelona and Manchester United, but few resonated as much as the mantra mockingly repeated by thousands of Barca fans all the way from London’s Wembley Stadium to Barcelona’s Plaça de Catalunya: “Por qué, por qué, por qué, por qué?” Why, why, why, why?
It was a question asked less than a month earlier by José Mourinho, the controversial manager of Barca’s main Spanish club rival, Real Madrid, and the game’s agent provocateur. Mourinho had voiced the rhetorical plaint during an angry press conference after his team lost the Spanish league and was en route to being eliminated from the Champions League. The only reason Barca was more successful than his team, Mourinho implied, was that they were good at getting referees on their side, thanks to their theatrics on the field. And by theatrics, Mourinho meant the ease with which Barca players allegedly faked falls or injuries in response to every tackle by an opponent.
