The current real madrid football might be the most close one to counter barca's team football,I think we might have advantage of a more tight defence.we can have bale/robben/pato to match their di maria/C-ronaldo/higuin,3 speedo to exploit tiny mistakes barca's teamwork may occur.

real's management assemble this lineup is not for no reason.they are the one to face barca every single seaon.

I didn't read this post earlier, but have to seriously disagree that Real are a team to counter Barca. More than anything, this was highlighted in Real's overreliance on Pepe during the Barca matches to destroy the Barca plays. With that workload and his stupidity (getting himself sent of for stupid and needless challenges), he simply struggled to cope with the Barca attack. Without him, Real completely fell apart. With regards to Real's attack, I think in 5 games last season, they scored only the odd goal, one of them in Extra time of the Copa final.

If real is not a team to counter barca,who is? ManUtd? it was a knock-out.at least real beat barca in spanish Copa.

How many goals spain NT concede last WC, they are an italian team in term of defence quality in big games.I don't blame real's attack, they make barca put more emphasis on defence,it lowers their offence efficiency.I think barca won't put equal intensity on defence when they face teams rely on skill other than front speed.
