Madrid and Barca fans, you are free to comment but please don't monopolize the conversation, everyone already knows your views on the issues.

Madrid.

2 matches (although they're 2 big matches), don't win you a league, and Madrids consistency in winning proves that they're the better team.

What if Barca win the CL instead? banana

Samething that happpend in the great Madrids side days. RM won the Cl but Herreras barca played them off the park in the league. Which team is remmeebred more? Napoli bested Milan in the league in the late 80s but who is rememered? Don't know to be honest.

That is the paradox here, Barcelona wold not be the best side in Spain, but they would be the best side in Europe. Same situation happened with AC and Inter in 07 cl. Milan came third but were the European and world champions, who was deemed better? To answer your question, depends. If Barcelona beat Madrid en route to the CL win and win the copa after besting Madrid, they would have beaten them in 2 out of three competitions. Barcelona for me...

interesting hmm

That makes it tough, i guess Barca since CL is the biggest competition.

Consistency shows Madrids skill more than any one game could. It shows Madrids mental strength highlighted by the fact that they get out of bed almost everyday ready to play no matter how shitty the team they're going to play may be.

Barce can beat RM sure, but RM can perform better against 18 other teams than Barce can. So RM are better equipped to deal with different tactics, different strategies, and different formations.

What i'm trying to get at is RM would be the better side if they can win La Liga

True enough, I think this logic is sound and fair. They compete in 3 competitions and will probably face off each other in the CL. That being said, no team has ever won the CL 2 successive years so I don't think Barca will win it this year.

To those saying Madrid would be better, would you feel that the claim "Madrid is a better team than Barca" would be true if Madrid face Barca 4/6 times and don't beat Barca even once?

Madrid obviously

by Guest Mon Jan 30, 2012 4:18 am

I would rather be beaten 10 nil in two games against Barcelona and still win the league than the other way around

That being said I would prefer the UCL over everything else

by TrezeGent Mon Jan 30, 2012 4:19 am

If Barca win both matches and CL, while Madrid wins La Liga, I'd say Barca are the better side.

I could be a bit biased though. I used to have a soft spot for Madrid before Mourinho came, but his pathetic character is really really influencing badly on the club.

by Red Alert Mon Jan 30, 2012 4:20 am

Mourinho to win the league and pussy out of Spain ASAP. Convinces the media he was a success to save his reputation whilst slowly destroyed RM's.

Didn't answer your question, as I don't really care who the better team is. 1000000 threads on the issue anyway. Mourinho is an arrogant c*nt.

Madrid I guess. La Liga is about which team can be the most consistent throughout the entire competition, not just win some matches.

However if Barcelona win the Champions League, then they are the better team.

by stevieg8 Mon Jan 30, 2012 4:52 am

i think barca winning the cl would throw a wrench into this question, and i'd probably have to pick them, but if the only basis is winning the league, i'd say table standing is most important. bottom dweller teams can occasionally do the double over teams at the top of the table, due to flukes, injuries, or simply better form in two games, but that doesn't make them better. ability to win week in week out is surely most important.

by emassy Mon Jan 30, 2012 6:34 am

Madrid by a mile. Two matches dont win you the league and cant make you the better side.38 matches does.

by dostoevsky Mon Jan 30, 2012 6:51 am

It would depend on whether Barcelona had won the Champions League or not. If they failed to do so, then I'd consider Madrid the superior team. I'd sign here and now for a home loss to Juventus if it guaranteed victory in the scudetto race.

If Barcelona won the Champions League then I'd tend to think of them as the better squad, assuming that Madrid didn't simply run away with the league. I view the Champions League as more important than any league title though, so I understand if others disagree with me based on their views of how prestigious each title is.

by red&blacklegion Mon Jan 30, 2012 6:54 am

Barca has won alot in the last three years, you can see they have lost the hunger.Its obvious, they perform better against bigger teams ,and look more motivated.

by lszanto Mon Jan 30, 2012 6:57 am

Who cares if you can beat the minnows all day? That just shows that madrid have better squad depth than barca imo. While most people would prefer the league win, it doesn't mean you have a better team.

by aleumdance Mon Jan 30, 2012 9:08 am

i kn ew this day was coming

its like Barca fans know the liga is out of reach lol

Madrid is much better IMO, winning 2 games can be down to many factors could be luck or bad form of Madrid, or good form of Barca, but winning the league means you are simply better over the entire season.

by BarcaLearning Mon Jan 30, 2012 11:35 am

Basically the majority conclude that the CL will show which is the better team. Lets see Barca retain the CL, and no more arguments will be left Very Happy

by che Mon Jan 30, 2012 11:39 am

madrid, over a season

BUT, if they meet in cl and barcelona dump them out again it will be a pretty awkward situation...

like liverpool - man utd in 08/09, man utd won like two games against other teams in the top 4 but won the league because they didn't drop points against relegation fodder... you can argue forever who was the better team
