Really absorbing game. Notable elements:

> Stunning finish from Mata. Pure quality.

> The three Napoli CB's look so leaden it's incredible.

> Thought Cole was beyond disrespectful the way he was ignoring AVB talking to him as he went on.
 
Gah, Lavezzi, should have been 3-1! Shame it wasn't the other way around with Lavezzi making the pass and Cavani on the end of it.

Would the Real team of the 50's have the same modern boots, balls and pitches as Barca have today? The same training regimes, diets, fitness coaches and injury treatments? Would they fly from domestic match to match as Barca do today, or go by bus? Would they have to play the number of games modern teams do? Could the 50's Real team buy and sell players with the abandon modern teams do?

I just don't think it's even within a million miles of being possible to make head-to-head comparisons. I think the best you can do is look at the level of dominance a given team had in their era over the teams around them, and decide which era of dominance was greatest. In that sense, I think Barca have some way to go to match Real and Liverpool (and perhaps other teams in other eras: Ajax, Manyoo, Munich, AC Milan...they've all had golden periods too that might match up).
