The famous Spanish Rafael Benitez claims that this season "Barcelona" is better prepared to fight for trophies than Madrid's "Real".
Last season, the Catalans dominated against the capital team by winning the Spanish championship and the Champions League. "Real" had to settle for triumph in the Spanish King's Cup tournament.
"Barcelona" and "Real" are favorites to win the Champions League, but probably "Barca" is currently one level above," said Benitez during his personal website presentation. "We have to see how the season unfolds and what the situation will be at the end."
Benitez also praised the Spanish national team led by Vicente Del Bosque: "This strategist and his team have done a great job. Without a doubt, Spain will be one of the biggest favorites in next year's European Championship.
Regardless of who the opponents are, this national team has an advantage due to a strong philosophy even when some footballers change."
