On Saturday, an extraordinary duel between two rivals took place in the Spanish capital. The first "El Clasico" match of the season was played at the "Santiago Bernabeu" stadium, which the hosts, Real Madrid footballers, will want to forget as soon as possible.
In front of Barcelona's opponents' fans, they celebrated a crushing victory with a score of 0-4. It is not surprising that the two most expensive footballers in the world - Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo - received a lot of criticism.
The biggest world football news portal "Goal.com" compared the statistical data of both players achieved during "El Clasico."
The best football player in the world, Cristiano Ronaldo, surpassed Bale in two aspects - with 46 touches of the ball and successful dribbles.
However, Bale created slightly more dangerous opportunities, made more passes into the penalty area, one of which almost resulted in a goal.
Nevertheless, the performance of both players in yesterday's match was tragic. Their flanks - both right and left - were ineffective, and the players themselves failed to create very dangerous opportunities in the full 90 minutes.
