The best team ever?
The marquee matchup of the Round of 16 is without a doubt Arsenal vs. Barcelona. That's partly
because Arsenal is the one group-stage favorite that slipped into 2nd place in their group (behind
Shakhtar Donetsk, due to losses at Donetsk and at Sporting Braga), and hence had to draw a group
winner for the Round of 16.
Out of the Barcelona trio, Andres Iniesta, Xavi and Lionel Messi, Messi was revealed as the 2010
FIFA Ballon d'Or winner. This is Leo's second back-to-back Ballon d'Or win and the first time since
1994, when Hristo Stoichkov won it, that a non-World Cup winning player won the award in a World
Cup year.
