Of course the CL is much more prestigious but the talks that some had about giving up on the league is sheer craziness. The league the foundation, the CL is the icing on the top.

This.
For some reason, we play our best football in the first half of the season, and tend to diminish afterwards. This has been true since Pep days.

Seems odd to me. In my country it's very popular. They are weekly talk shows about every round, tactics analysis, extensive coverage before every derby, interviews. Probably in Latin and South American countries La Liga is very popular. Probably Germanic people watch less of it. Don't really know about other continents.
That's how every club bar Madrid see it probably.

Can any of you clowns logically argue against this sarcastic post? Didn't think so

That sentiment has changed because of how the quality of La Liga has declined from what it used to be in the late 90’s up until 2008. If this were 2010 or the first 2 Mourinho years where Real were all hung-ho for the League, I would really savor this League title but quite frankly this is the most dissapointing Barca squad that I’ve seen in well over a decade. This feels more like things coming to an end with Iniesta surely gone and an aging Messi,Suarez and Busquets. Pique isn’t getting any younger either and given the additions we’ve made the last few years, i’m not very confident that our current leaders will make the greatest of decisions going forward.

In the Guardiola era we were clearly the better team, after that it has been quite even. I don't think Real Madrid is necessarily better than us, and I don't think we are necessarily better than Real Madrid right now. But in the eyes of your average football fans and experts etc. Real Madrid is definitely more prestigious than us. Actually, no one team comes close.

No need to get personal dude. I’ve chosen to walk away from this argument with you.
I hear you. As a Barca fan, it feels like there is no need for the team to prove that they are a better team than Madrid since we've beaten them left and right and won more La Ligas over the past few years. The only true enemy we need to overcome is our own fuckups.

agree that most football fans see Madrid as more prestigious and thats fair enough, its a fact they've won more in total. tonight though, most fans and other forums I've seen are wondering how Madrid just beat Bayern 1-2 playing like that

There's no doubt Madrid is the most prestigious club. It's pretty much a fact.
The conversation becomes more interesting when you talk about teams, since many teams from many clubs have been amazing during their peak years.

It is reguarded the best by pretty much everybody. Winning in europe is the highest honour you can get. Winning league titles is great but for some that means little given the comp.
real clearly care more about CL than league play this year.

I would hope we became barca fans because we won big trophies and also won them in style. The fact that Madrid has won more than other historic clubs has been the case for decades now...and I don't see it changing. Prestige isn't only about trophy count. In terms of stature in football, Barca is not inferior to Real in any way, or we wouldn't have attracted so many top players over the years. Bayern, I'd argue is also right up there with the Spanish duo and Milan too before they went extinct.

Villarato!
not sure you (not you) held the same zeal for CL as a fanbase and team when you guys were struggling between 02-12. or for 30 some years between 60s and 90s. you guys have had your peaks and lows, like every other elite club
Uh, no. Zeal was always there. The two league titles under Capello and Schuster were merely distractions from the curse of 1/8s at the time.

It's not really a fact, they are more successful than Barca but I wouldn't say more prestigious. Our greatest teams captured the imagination in a way this Real side and others have failed to do.
