"Barcelona" president Josep Maria Bartomeu insists that Sunday's match against Madrid's "Real" proved that his club is the strongest in the world.
In a 4-3 victory away after a dramatic battle, the Catalans defeated the royal club and returned to the race for the championship title.
"We always believed in our players. And I always said that my footballers are the best in the world - we proved it again in the 'El Clasico' match," said the manager. "They played impressively."
"Now 'Barcelona' is just one point behind the leaders of the 'Primera' league and we will give our all to regain the first place in the championship," Bartomeu said.
