Spanish La Liga team FC Barcelona (pronounced bar-suh-LOE-na or bar-theh-LON-a) are generally viewed as the best team on the Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 among fans of the game. They have been fortunate since they have had their own stadium, Nou Camp, licensed for the last few PES installments.

[edit] PES 2008

One of the main factors contributing to Barcelona's supreme stength is the strikers they possess on the game. With players such as Thierry Henry, Samuel Eto'o and Lionel Messi leading the frontline, it wouldn't be ridiculous to say that Barcelona have the greatest strikeforce on PES 2008. Their back ups are no consolation either, with players like Bojan Krkic and Eidur Gudjohnsen firmly placed in their ranks.

[edit] PES 2009

They still boast a very strong line up with high strength up front. New signings include Seydou Keita, Gerard Pique, Martin Caceres, Dani Alves and Aliaksandr Hleb given them more defensive options which they were lacking seasons before. However they did sell Ronaldinho, Gianluca Zambrotta, Deco, Edmilson, good experienced players who were perhaps past their best.

[edit] PES 2010

Having won the treble in Spain for the first time ever in the history of Spain, it's looks like Barcelona will continue to be a force to reckoned with. Having sold Samuel Eto'o to Inter and replaced him with Zlatan Ibrahimovic Bracelona's attack still looks to be the best in the game. Ibrahimovic and Henry both provide options for being a target man and Messi provides speed and the ability to carve open defences.

They also signed Maxwell, Dmytro Chygrynskiy, and Keirrison (loaned to Benfica) strengthening the defence once again however also looking to the future for strikers.

[edit] Online

Barcelona have come under much scrutiny within the Online Mode, as many gamers deem the team 'too strong an opposition' and believe that anyone who chooses to use the team have an unfair advantage.
