Honest question.. but why are Madrid considered soo much bigger than Barca?
I've only really followed since the days of the galacticos... Ronaldo, Zidane, Figo era but it's been much more Barca over the last few years and I'm sure most young-uns today would easily say Barca were the bigger of the two if they didn't know any better because of what they've won in recent years and the way the world's media worships their style of play.
Are Madrid still well ahead in titles or were they just around long before Barca etc? What makes them so much of a clear winner in this debate?
Madrid is still ahead on trophies, especially in CL
It's also a global brand thing. Think Pool, not recently successful, but as a global brand probably still 2nd amongst English Clubs.
Madrid is massive global brand.
