Top club sides better than top national sides?

[Slacker]

I would say with the purchasing power of clubs like Man C, Chelsea, Barcelona and Real Madrid they are better than any of the top countries. This cannot be put to the test of course as players would feature in both.

Man C for example have players who are regulars for their countries but not in their regular starting XI. Also many of the best South Amercian players are with top European clubs.
