Yaya Toure played for Barcelona between 2007 and 2010 and has fond memories of that time. He spoke on FIFA's social media accounts to fans, one of whom asked about the five best players he's shared a team with.
"Messi, Henry, Eto'o, Iniesta and Xavi," said Toure. "In that era they were unbeatable."
Surprisingly he didn't include any players from his years at Man City or with the Ivory Coast national team, like Didier Drogba.
Toure also said his favourite stadium was Camp Nou, "because there stars like Ronaldo and Maradona have played, and because Messi, Eto'o, Henry, Alves, Iniesta and co could play there too, and I'm grateful for that era of my life."
Toure says one of his favourite memories "was when we beat Real Madrid 6-2 at the Santiago Bernabeu. That was an iconic game, against a big rival at their own stadium. That day we played total football. I'll never forget it."
Invited to compare the Manchester derby with Madrid v Barca, Toure had no doubts. "Honestly, the Clasico is much bigger. United were always one of the great English sides but for many years, City weren't. But Barca-Madrid is the biggest rivalry in football history."

Messi is GOAT no Argument!!!! {1} Ronaldo has proved himself with Clubs and Leagues BUT did Ronaldo also proved himself as (1) Better Playmaker than Messi? (2) Better Team Player than Messi? (3) Did Ronaldo gave more assists than Messi every season? If the Answer is NO, then why to you want Messi to prove himself with another club whiles Messi is already Complete Footballer than Ronaldo {2} Ronaldo is better than Messi because He has Won Int. Trophies BUT Ronaldo ((is not World Best Player)) because he hasn't won Int. Best Player Awards before. NOTE: Team wins Trophies BUT ((Best Players in the World)) wins Best Player Awards in every tournament they play. If Ronaldo proves himself everywhere MESSI always proves himself as Complete Footballer than Ronaldo Because Apart from Goalscoring Messi still has MULTI USES. If you STILL doubt it means you don't love the truth but you love lie's and you don't know nothing about football.
