The commentator acknowledges that Real Madrid competes better in all circumstances than Barcelona

Cristóbal Soria, a regular contributor to El Chiringuito, once again stirred up controversy with his statements about Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. On this occasion, the Sevillian surprised with a comment that hasn't gone unnoticed among fans.

After Barça's 7-1 victory against Valencia, Soria compared the best and worst versions of both teams.  "Madrid competes better, but in its best version... I choose Barça," he stated in the midst of a debate with his colleagues.

The phrase that ignited the debate

Soria highlighted Real Madrid's competitive ability even in its worst moments. "The worst version of Barcelona and the worst version of Madrid, Madrid competes better than Barcelona," assured the former Sevilla delegate.

However, his support for Barça was clear: "The best version of Madrid and the best version of Barcelona, I undoubtedly choose Barça's. It's 20-0 for Barcelona."

The comparison that divides opinions

The comment caused a wave of reactions on social media. While some applauded his defense of the Barça style, others criticized his insistence on downplaying Real Madrid's merit.

Soria justified his stance by pointing out the "two months of slump" that Barça suffered this season. According to him, that explains the differences between both clubs in terms of consistency.
