The height of El Clásico, Ronaldo v Messi and arguably the two most dominant teams of the last decade or so. However which team was more successful during this time period.
I think I lean towards Madrid barely
Talking about Europe specifically, it’s been Real Madrid. They’ve been much more dominant than Barça. But if we’re talking about overall display, it’s Barça. They outplayed Real Madrid in Laliga plus domestic competitions. They’ve been the better magnet to attract great players. Most of the footballing world agrees that Barça 2011 is the greatest team of all time. They’ve won the most individual awards. Barça’s La Masia has proven itself to be a lot better than La Fabrica.
Real Madrid will always be better as an overall team historically. But 2009-19 was Barça’s decade.
They’ve been the better magnet to attract great players.
Is that why they are now broke? Or was it because they bought the refa
Madrid and it’s not close.
Let me put it this way. Barcelona biggest decade in terms of titles,Real still managed to win more CL. CL is what matters the most
Barca was better at playing football, Real was better at winning trophies.
Barca’s decade was 06-16
The debate might be over in a few months if/ when Barca is stripped off of all their La Liga titles with the referee bribery scandal.
Well RMA won champions leagues in row several times, but Barca era was the most delightfull football in football history for any viewer.
I’m a Real Madrid fan and even I can see that Barca is clearly better. Only years we were truly better than them is 2012, probably 2014, maybe 2016 and 2017.
We had so many performances against them where we were dominated. The 5-0. The UCL Semis in 2011. And many more. When we won we usually only won by 1 and very rarely 2.
I don’t want to downplay Real, I think our team in the 2010s is the second best club side ever. Sadly, the only one in history that’s better is Barca during the same time.
I’d say Real Madrid. 4 Champions League, 3 of which were consecutive is an absolutely insane achievement. How do you win 4 in 5 years
3x back to back champions leagues is more difficult than anything Barca did in the same product period.
Barcelona. 2009 Barcelona is possible the best team ever. Can’t say the same for the 3peat Madrid team.
Barcelona
Barca got the trebles and Madrid got the 3 peat, that pretty much sums up the decade
Pep Barca was peak football, nothing will come close
Barcelona started strong and Madrid ended strong
