The midfield maestro has voiced his opinion regarding the shift of power in the Spanish La Liga suggesting that such claims are premature.
Barcelona’s Andres Iniesta has expressed that even though Real Madrid have been crowned the new champions of the Spanish Primera, it does not indicate the start of a new era of football in the Iberian Peninsula.
Iniesta is of the opinion that tipping Los Blancos as the new dominant force inside http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 is hardly appropriate. The Spanish international believes that it is still too early to determine which of the two Spanish giants are the better side at the moment.
In wake of a statement made by Madrid’s superstar, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629, the World Cup winner insisted that winning one title does not mark the start of a new era in football. However, Iniesta did admit that Real’s 32nd La Liga title takes the competition
to the next level.
La Blaugrana have enjoyed complete supremacy over Spanish football over the past three years. Under the management of their soon-to-be former head coach, Pep Guardiola, Barca emerged as one of the strongest sides in the world.
The last three seasons saw the Catalan giants secure silverware consecutively. Apart from their triumph in the league, Azulgrana were also able to win the UEFA Champions League twice, along with a host of other trophies.
However, Jose Mourinho’s men finally managed to break Barca’s dominion over Spanish football this season as they paved their way to the Spanish crown in fantastic fashion.
Consequently, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ronaldo-c31734 remarked that title success for Los Merengues signifies the start of his side’s dominance over the Spanish Primera Division.
Iniesta has contradicted with the Portuguese skipper’s claims, emphasizing that a cyclical change in football does not occur in one season.
"Everyone has their own opinion and their way of seeing things. It's really too early to say if we are experiencing a cyclical change in the balance of Spanish football," the 28-year-old told reporters.
"There are some who claim not winning the Champions League every season will make it a wasted one. Putting everything into perspective however, we've won the two Super Cups as well as the Club World Cup this time around. We fought until the end in La Liga,
and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League,” he added.
