Pep Guardiola is unbeaten as player and now as coach when playing against Real Madrid. This shows that Barcelona have the grip over Madrid for a while now.
Definatly over-rated, they are the best 2 teams in the league and will always be and so they suld be with the tv revinue they both get. Its unfair on all the other sides in the league and as some of them have/had major debts i.e Valencia and Mallorca come to mind yet the 2 teams who are already financialy wealthy get the bigger chunk of money every season.
So you reckon Barca went unbeaten from 1990–2001 when Pep played for them. I might be showing my age here but I can tell you he lost a **** of a lot more playing for barca than the 5 matches he has won managing them.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/8859257.stmA new audit into Barcelona's finances have revealed the club's debt is 442m euros (£369.5m) after a loss of more than 77m euros (£64.36m) last season.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Madrid_C.F.At the end of the 2009–10 season, the club board of directories stated that Real Madrid had a net debt of €244.6 million, 82.1 million lower than the previous fiscal year.
what a silly post you must be blind or just dont know real football when you see it Barcelona just out classed them in every area they closed them down played one two's then with the killer pass score 5. You need to go and get your eyes tested.
Not overrated at all. And to the lad that said the derby has two best players in the world, try four, 3 from Barca and 1 from Madrid.
That is not true at all. As a Coach, yes, 5 wins out of 5 games. As a player, he lost couple of games...
1993, 1995, 96 and 2000 he lost @ Bernabeu
About the league, we're becoming the same as Scottish Premier League season by season.
Journalists and other people keep saying that "the best league in the world" thing, but it's clear that it's not true at all.
Real Madrid have always been overpowered by Barcelona, domestic or European. it was Barcelona's style of play who won the world cup for them not real madrid. i am a real madrid fan but barcelona has far more superior. And El Clasico has been a easy scoring match for barca in recent times.
Yes, by journalist and people I meant here in Spain.Spanish journalists I assume? Never hear that from English journalists.
That isn't true at all.
Real Madrid have been the dominant force in Spain for the longest period overall. They have won the most domestic titles, the most 'El Clasico' wins, and they are still record holders for most European Cup/Champions League victories. They're probably the biggest club in the world, even to this day.
Barcelona are currently on top because they have somehow managed to produce a truly incredible set of players from their academy who have been playing football together since they were kids. The Real Madrid team has undergone a transformation recently, and most of them are within their first or second season playing together.
