Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema aware of Barcelona threat – La Liga League News
Following Barcelona’s rather comfortable win over Manchester United, in the finals of the UEFA Champions League, Real Madrid forward, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Karim-Benzema-c20350 has stated that the Catalans are one of the hardest teams to beat. The player, admitted that the Spanish outfit
were outstanding to begin with, however, since they have started to pick up their form, they have become almost impossible to defeat.
Barcelona, who happen to be the Spanish Champions, faced off against the English Champions, Manchester United in the final game of the UEFA Champions League. The game was hyped to be a rather highly contested one, but that was not the case. The Catalans
made short work of the Red Devils and went on to crush them by three goals to one.
When talking about the game and how Barcelona played, Benzema is quoted to have said: "There is absolutely nothing you can do about what we saw on Saturday"
"Barcelona really are a great team to watch. They were superior to Manchester United and dominated the match. United made a good start, but Barcelona were unstoppable once they started playing their own game.”
Nonetheless, the player decided to not let his admiration for his arch rivals get the better of him. As a result, he went on to recall the Copa del Rey final, which saw Barcelona lose out to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Real-c30728 Madrid by a goal to nil.
Benzema then went on to state: "We beat them in the Copa del Rey final so they can be beaten. However, there's no doubt that they are a great team."
The Copa del Rey final, was not the only, non-league-fixture, played between the two arch rivals, as they took off against each other in the semi finals on the Champions League.
Despite that game being lined with a number of controversies, Barcelona went on to ease past Madrid, with a score-line of three goals to one, at the end of the two legs.
Watching http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 throughout the course of the season, has helped people draw up a number of conclusions about the team. Some suggest the team is filled with a bunch of cheats, while others feel that they have gotten a number of officials and FIFA representatives
on their side, to help them ease their way to trophies.
However, all those critiques end up being silenced, when they are presented with the stats to the performances that the team has been putting in.
All in all, the current Barcelona, might just go down as being one of the greatest teams to ever play the beautiful game of football.
