Best Iranian Club Friendly ever to be played?

[Leicester City]

Was Perspolis vs Bayern Munich the best Iranian Club Friendly ever to be played? Has there been other club friendlies against other top level teams by Iranian clubs?

I remember Esteghlal played Sao Paulo Fc, Nikbakht scored 2 goals if im not mistaken, i think esteghlal won 3-2. It was a long time ago so dont take my word

[Mr.Click]

That wasnt the real Sao Paulo team it turned out..as i remember

more likely Zereshk Polo.

In my living memory it was Perspolis vs Bayern.

Maybe older members can attest to some of the friendlies in the 1970s. Didnt Pele come to Iran?

He did. If I'm not mistaken Santos played Persepolis and Pas.
Also Bayern Munich came to Iran in the 70s and played either Persepolis or TM. They lost 3-0 and the rumor was the German players were hungover from drinking the night before.

Iran once played inter Milan in the late 90's. Inter was up by a few goals and we came back to tie the game or maybe even win? 4-4/5-4? Something like that. I never saw it but always heard about it

We beat them 4-1.

Iran has played lots of club teams in unofficial games. These are some of them:

Iran vs QPR 2005 (3-0 to QPR) : https://www.theguardian.com/football...wsstory.sport4
Iran vs Roma 2004 (5-3 to Roma): http://www.payvand.com/news/04/aug/1286.html
Iran vs Roma 1998 (7-1 to Roma) - this game Ivic tried a few different tactics, whatever happened we were prepared for the WC
Iran vs Slavia Prague (1-0 to Slavia) http://www.teammelli.com/sample-page...ague-1-0-iran/

A generally U23 Iran also played Man United in 1977 http://www.teammelli.com/sample-page...d-vs-iran-u23/

A few (but not all), here: http://www.teammelli.com/sample-page...icial-matches/

There were a lot of big club friendlies before the revolution. Against Santos, Arsenal, Bayern etc...

I remember the game against Bayern Munich. In all honesty it was such a phony and unexciting match. You could tell BM was there for a cause if I am not mistaken and could tell they were trying to be nice and considerate.

Club friendlies are the most pointless matches in all of football. Even worse are those stupid tours/tournaments that Euro clubs participate in North America, East Asia and the Middle East every Summer/Winter.

Feel you. I for one have never bothered going to stadiums here to watch Barcelona/Real Madrid playing those fake games with US clubs. They do that at lease once a year and they just never interest me to go and watch. Unless one wants to go see the super stars up close. Otherwise it's just silly and it's done only for $$$

I remember the game very differently. PP outplayed BM most of the game but unfortunately, the finishing was not good enough.

Hence my point. What is the point of such friendlies if both teams don’t take the match seriously? Do you honestly believe that a Bayern Munich of then’s caliber would have let a team from. IPL trance them like that?
