Guardiola's Barcelona or Zidane's Madrid: Picking one from these two legendary teams

Verdict

Barcelona complete the treble in 2009

While both these teams have dominated the football fraternity in their respective times, it is very hard to pick one from the other as both of them are special in their own way. Barcelona wowed the world by winning 14 titles – including three La Ligas and two Champions Leagues – and gave their fans unspeakable joy.

Real Madrid, meanwhile, have already won 7 titles under Zinedine Zidane in only 19 months – winning the Champions League twice in a row – and have only the Copa Del Rey to add to their cabinet. They also have a great young team for the future and look set to continue their domination.

However, if I had to choose one, I would still pick Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona simply because they not only won, but also defined the footballing style of an era. Zidane’s Madrid have only just picked up an identity, but can certainly better Guardiola’s team in a few years’ time, but right now, Guardiola’s team should be rated higher.
