  7. Y’all can say all u want. HALAMADRID and RMA is the best. From the very inception, titles, cups and competitions have been won several times and it is going to progress. They may not be taking trophies as many as they once were but still on top as the KINGS OF EUROPE. Barca can only come close to claiming such multiple laurels but, close enough gets u nothin’. RMA is rearing and developing future SUPERSTARS to conquer not just europe, but worldfootball as well. E’ryone out there just be armor ready 4 that.

  11. Real Madrid has been the greatest and biggest club in the world since the inception of the European cup in 1956.
    It is the most prestigious club in the world.
    It wont be changing any time soon.
    Its every players dream to play for los blancos.

  12. FCB is the best team in the world. They have the greatest player of this era Messi. He has won 5 Ballon di or awards and many more. He is the ultimate genius of the game. Also the latest sensation Neymar and villa are also there in FCB.

  13. Madrid maybe the richest, but FCB is the best team. They won it recently. Their players are so talented and skilled. Messi, Neymar, Kaka are great players of the game. They are very popular and have a star value.

  14. Here is it again.. The fight between FCB and Real Madrid for being the richest clubs. They both have some most Valuable players in the world. It’s a treat to watch their face-off

  15. Madrid is the best. They play with complete effort. FC barca are over proud and depend on Messi. But, Madrid play as a team everytime and they win.
