Germany was a rival to Spains dominant era, but they always lost. Germanys high press style didnt really come about until about 2013. I think 2014 Germany was much different than 2010 in terms of style. I feel like theyd give trouble to spain, and their counters would be a handful .

2014 German team imo.
A lot of people here seem not to have watched those matches back then and just read stats. It’s stupid comparing Bayern 2013 with Germany 2014. Germany adopted some of the tactics Pep introduced to Bayern. 2013 Bayern had Martinez, a Spaniard, that destroyed Barca’s midfield. 2013 Barca were in a bad shape even before that match. It seems a lot of people here either don’t remember these information or just didn’t follow these teams back then.
Germany 2014 was that great, but they couldn’t win anything else but the Confederations Cup, right?🤔
My bet would be Spain, they looked unstoppable in 2010
Spain 2010 was undoubtedly the greater team, as along with the WC they won the 2008 and 2012 euros with the same core players. However in a standalone game I feel Germany 2014 would take the win.
Germany 2014 is basically the same squad as Germany 2010 with a bit more of experience, both in their prime Germany wins 3-0 and tiki taka doesn’t even see the color of the ball that game
Spain always defeated Germany, while Barca always had a problem with Bayern. The Bayern player that really bothered Barca’s midfield in 2013 (when their manager had cancer and wasn’t available) was a Spanish player Martinez).
They had Kroos that was the main difference in players. He was in team of the tournament so he’s not a small difference.
