It’s hard to separate the two sides, with a number of big names able to make the difference in a split second, and it’s hard as well to fit them into our combined XI, though this is our best shot!
Goalkeeper and defence:
In a slightly Manchester City-dominated back line, Joe Hart gets the nod over Claudio Bravo or Marc-Andre ter Stegen in goal, while Pablo Zabaleta and Vincent Kompany also make it in alongside Barcelona pair Gerard Pique and Jordi Alba.
Midfield:
In a two-man defensive midfield, Yaya Toure makes it in alongside his former Barca team-mate Sergio Busquets, with the likes of Xavi and Andres Iniesta no longer looking at their best.
Attack:
In a stunning attacking four, Barcelona’s world class trio of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar line up just behind Manchester City goal machine Sergio Aguero in what would be an absolutely breathtaking combination.
