soccer: barcelona is currently better than real madrid

1- First of all this debate is discussing which team is between Barcelona and Madrid is currently better. As you know 2008 was the year when Barcelona won 6 trophies for different leagues in that year, what it has to do with what's going on currently is that 2008 was the year both teams began to experience change. The reason I began with the several leagues that both real Madrid and Barcelona competed in was to show where each ranked during those times. It may be true that real Madrid is currently 5 points ahead in la liga and they won every single match against other teams they still haven't beaten Barcelona even once. 2009 was the year where they only obtained one trophy but they did hell of a lot better than Madrid. I can care less the difference in goals because the amount of goals a team scores is not important unless they tie in points. Its true that 5 European cups in a row is good but it was achieved on a yearly bases rather than winning several competitions in one year which is impressive because Barcelona endured a whole lot of pressure because winning league after league in the same year must have made them exhausted. With that said they had the skill to move past that and win 6 consecutive cups/leagues proving they are the best. 2- I don't quite understand what you mean by "Over the 5 past La Liga seasons Real Madrid's point total has been 7 points higher than that of Barcelona." because this league was owned by Barcelona 2008-2009, 2009-2010, 2010-2011. so its impossible for them to have beaten Barcelona by seven points for 5 years when the latest three years have been one by Barcelona. Now about those last five games, its true that Madrid won one of the matches but honestly that goal was the only one they could get and on top of that they fouled a lot and proof of that was that di Maria got a red card and 5 other members had yellow card. The match had been 0-0 and entered extra time Barcelona as I remember had more positioning of the ball and had much more shots on the real Madrid's goal. Barcelona played much better than real Madrid but in the first half of extra time both teams tired and Barcelona team was a hurt due to earlier fouls and Madrid was able to score a goal due to the circumstances( http://goalzz.com...) . overall it was good but Madrid didn't play honorably. another case of that would be their last match 2-2. the game started interesting first half both side playing fair and was exciting because both side had the chance of scoring the first goal and out of nowhere Barcelona scores 2 goals I admit Barcelona had more position of the ball and passed the ball to each other in sync form and earned those 2 goals. In the second half things get ugly when the dam team of Madrid start fouling the hell out of Barcelona even though in the first half Madrid fouled a Barcelona player in the penalty area (http://goalzz.com...) if u look at this link you should see the amount of yellow cards that has been given to the team of Madrid. All I have to say about the second half is that it wasn't the usual soccer match but Benzima did have a very nice goal. Real Madrid isn't better than Barcelona for many reason and this match proves it. This match and its previous were added together and the outcome that came was Barcelona had advanced because they won both matches and that tie was their win 4-3. 3- the only reason ronaldo scored more goals is because he doesn't know how to do anything else. messi on the other hand is much better at technique, the ability to create an opportunity to score goals and the way he passes the balls to his team mates. Messi could score all those shots by himself and beat ronaldo at his own game but he sees an opportunity for a goal and takes it. this video shows how he goes through 4 players (http://www.youtube.com...) Messi easily moves past players and always seems to assist in the goals. so between messi and ronaldo Messi creates more opportunities for a goal and has the most assists a player can have. Maybe that can answer your question about the goals. messi always passes the ball to his team mates in a way they score goals. this shows that he can score, always assists and has less goals because unlike ronaldo who receives the pass to score a goal messi makes that pass. Players who can successfully do that are much better at the game than those who only wait for an opportunity to come toward them. 4- depending on how people will look at this argument depends on whether or not they cheer Barcelona or Madrid or which player they like more. Just so you know I'm a Madrid fan but I'm just stating the true facts. Madrid currently are as good as they were when zidan was still playing. They play much rougher and aren't in sync as they use to be. They pass, they go for the win but its not the same as Barcelona. The fact still remains that real Madrid needs to start playing more as a team than separate players. Also against Barcelona they can easily score goals but usually after they score the first goal they go to defense which is a problem because they are giving more opportunity for Barcelona to score. If we look at the true hard facts between both teams Barcelona is currently better.
