Jakarta - Rudi Voeller said that, although currently behind 10 points from Real Madrid, but Barcelona are the best team the world today. But Madridista definitely care more about the benefits of their current position.
Voeller said after the team where he served as director of sport, Bayer Leverkusen, hit 1-7 by Barca at the Nou Camp in the second leg Champions League round of 16 yesterday.
From a technical standpoint, probably not many who disagree with the opinion Voeller, that how Barca is a "role model" a great club at this time. With their dominance in recent years, the Catalan army game (read: tiki-taka) a trade mark pilot.
But, as the slogan "nothing that can not be defeated", the performance of Barca in La Liga this season, declined slightly. At the very least, its size is that they can draw six times by his opponents, and lost two of the 25 matches that have been acted.
Compared to Real Madrid, the statistics were not good, as Los Blancos series just once and lost twice. In effect, the competition they present to the championship ladder started "not fun". Within 10 points, although each still leaves 13 games, is quite significant.
Wait until the next El Clasico on 22 April, Barca will be hoping Madrid occasional stumble, as they often do not lose points again.
Anyone opposed to them, in the weeks that followed, it became "not important" as Madrid and Barcelona will always be favored to win, because they are too dominant in the land of Spain. The third ranked team, Valencia, was very far away to Barca, which is 14 points, or 24 points from Madrid. There are quite a gaping chasm in the Spanish league.
Then, may be addressed to the appropriate question Barca is how they can cut the distance to Madrid. Or for Madrid, how they can secure the superiority of Barca away, because that's their priority ambition: to beat his eternal enemy, who always wins in the hunt for La Liga championship title in three seasons.
This week both candidates will be playing away from home: Madrid hosted Real Betis, Barca awaited Racing Santander. Is there going to lose their predictions of its opponents that? Undar the ball.
