For example, the one of Santpedor left clear that continues thinking that the FC Barcelona is in the actuality the best team of the planet. "The Barça keeps on being the best by the titles that has won in the last years, by his style of game, by the offensive options that has... But the Atleti has achieved to brake him because it knows like playing him to the Barcelona and the players know perfectly what have to do", signalled.
And it reiterated that, in his opinion, there is not team that can compare to the FC Barcelona along the last times, given the majesty that the Barcelona group comes showing to level of titles harvested and game deployed.
