I am an American living in Madrid, Spain. The ETERNAL ENEMY OF BARCA...but I love BARCA. This team has to give its thanks to LAPORTA, who was the President who put this team together beginning with Frank Rykart, the coach. They have kicked but. 20th Century..Real Madrid, 21st Century ALL GOES TO BARCA. MESSI is the KING OF FOOTBALL....PERIOD...Cristiano Ronaldo is second...Like Foreman had he Ali, Ronaldo has his Messi. WAY TO GO BARCA..VISCA BARCA...ALL THE WAY!!!

@ Larry Moniz,

How arrogant of you... It is ok for Jordan, Lebron & Kobe to get worldwide publicity but not for another talented team from a world's biggest game? Try to have an open mind... Besides I am tired of hearing mostly the same propaganda about problems created by the powers that be...

With all that's going on in the world, WHY is 60 Minutes wasting its time covering a professional soccer team from another country. I'm a former soccer player and even I don't watch soccer on TV. Few in America do.

Great team indeed but to say the greatest team in the world is pushing a little too far. Barcelona did not even win the European Championship in 2012. FIFA Club World Cup was decided between Chelsea and Corinthians, and the Brazilian team took the title. In football, as in any other sport, it is the record that counts not the perception. And the title of the the best team of the world for 2012 goes to Corinthians. To the winner we should render the title as the best in the world, never to the looser. After all, this is what sports are all about - winners and losers.

Loving what one does makes a huge difference. Lionell Messi's loyalty and commitment to his love for this sport makes him inseparable from his ball. It is a Joy to see him move with the ball. Elegant, effortless yet determined. Makes everyone else look heavy footed.
