Madrid doesn’t have much other than UCLs if they won 1/2 more leagues they would have won easily imo

2008-2014 Barcelona was so dominant that no team would actually go up and beat them. Most of their losses came from insane games with 0.1XG team winning, even bigger teams. Of course there are exceptions but they are so few and far between. That Xavi Iniesta Messi Busquets Alves core was the most dominant side we have seen in the recent times. At one point they were trashing RM left and right at classicos too. Real would get wins but Barcelona wins were proper demolitions with 4-5 goals. Add to all that that REFs were very biased towards them, yep, they were the most dominant and successful team of the era.

I’m a little mixed on this.

On one hand, Barcelona definitely had more domination. On the other, Madrid won the 3peat when no other club had even managed to get 2 in a row prior.

Regardless, we were spoilt by that era of football and doubt we ever see anything like that again. Truly blessed to see that era of Classico.

Are we including the Negreira factor in the equation?

barcelona was the best team in the world

but they have always been small outside of spain and thats where RM shines the most

living here in madrid no one really cares about la liga, the just want to see the playoffs of the champions league
