Last Monday, we saw how Barcelona are much superior team than Real Madrid. They thrashed Madrid 5-0 in front of packed Camp Nou. The goals they scored were not flukes, they were mastery of creativity and skills that Barcelona possess. Real Madrid were unbeaten under Mourinho before this match and his record is now broken. Real Madrid have made so much improvement this time compared to previous five seasons. All credit would go to Mourinho for reinstating the faith in his players.
El Clasico is the biggest match in Spanish La Liga, and possibly of the best fixture in World Football. But after the disappointing performance from Real Madrid, one has to think whether the fixture is highly overrated. Real Madrid failed to even score one goal during that 90+ minutes of play. Madrid never showed good composure in front of goal and Barcelona was scoring at will. They had 4 different player scoring for them. Villa scored two while Jeffren, Xavi and Pedro contributed one each to the total.
The last five years "El Clasico" has been much easier for Barcelona. They outscore Real with a 16-2 difference. Real Madrid are a great team with a rich history and players. But they can't just play against Barcelona- they are too good.
What do you think about El Clasico? Is it over-rated?
