LETS COMPARE THE TWO SPANISH GIANTS?

Let us compare the two Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid?Real Madrid has a policy of spending huge amounts on buying footballers from all over the world at huge amounts, players like Kaka, Zidane, Beckham, Figo, owen, Benzeema, Sneijder are just a few. But they have not produced from their youth at all. The last ones from there were Raul, Guti and Iker Casillas. Both Raul and Guti are 33 years old.While on the other hand Barcelona follow the Johan Cruiff method of finding young players in their youth and polish them up. Those who have done well for Barcelona areVaaldez, Pedro, Messi,Inesta, Xavi, Puyol. Here we must not forget Cesc Fabregas who plays for Arsenal.Barcelona have played the same entertaining game from the early 1990s no matter who is there, either Romario, Etoo, Rivaldo or Messi. You are bound to be entertained. While Kaka has faild from Milan days.It is a one manshow Gonsalo Higuain, with a raul rare goal.Real also sack their coaches far to easily.
