he reduced the barca complex but didnt over turn it. Barca continued to get the better of his Madrid sometimes without even having a coach. Barca has Messi so thats a natural advantage, but then again barca had amateur coaches one of which was dying all season and they still did much better than Madrid. And if memory serves me right, the barca and bayern losses to chelsea are a lot more unlucky than madrid losing to bayern. He peaked at Inter where he did fantastic work and since then has been in steady decline.
In 2011/2012 Ronaldo was a superior player over Messi. Not remotely as spoonfed by Xavi and Iniesta at the best Barcelona team in history. Both went on to score insane amounts of goals.

Madrid did overturn the complex. Beating barcelona to the title by that all deciding classico they won. 3 days before the Cl return.

Both Barcelona and Madrid were physically broken when they went against strong physical teams. Barcelona was sloppy and inaccurate, Madrid was good for 30 minutes and then their lights went out.

2011-2012 was a cruel season for Ronaldo. Superior to Messi, Madrid superior to Barcelona, Portugal playing the best football at the euro12 but missing everything, going out on penalty's. Million roflmao goalscorer Messi won the ballon d'or. Entire world was mad and pointed to ronaldo, iniesta and xavi

Are you seriously comparing Pogba with Balotelli? Latter's issue was never about playing in poor team and adjusting to mismatched situation as a player. He simply didn't give a fuck, complete moron who self destructed.


Pogba is suffering on footballing level, when he adjusts / Mourinho finds proper set up Pogba will start to be the top player he allways been. .

Robinho would be a better comparison. Started his career very well, was the next Pele. Turned into nothing special.

Pogba could easily follow that path.
I remember Robinho being very good in Madrid championship seasons in 2007 or 2008, one of the best players for them. But once he went to City everything went downhill, even though he had one pretty solid season in Milan even

He even said hes better than CRonaldo when he joined City, then flopped completely

Robinho left Madrid at 23/24 for a rich paycheck at City and turned into a massive flop.

Pogba leaves Juve at 23 for a rich paycheck at ManU and turns into... :beppe:

I know Madrid won the league title that season. I dont consider that as overturning the mental block because even after that league title Barca continued to dominate Madrid. They still feel a bit inferior today if you ask me. The gap significantly got smaller than it was during the Pellegrini days but Barca still has the upper hand in the season right after without a coach. I'd say a Mou-led Madrid failing against a coach-less Barca is not a sign of completely overturning the inferiority complex. If anything it should have been a golden rare opportunity to win again, a chance that Madrid threw away. Mou went into meltdown that season (eye poking incident and he himself said its the worst season of his career) which is not a sign of someone who is confident in his ability to win the title.
