Ah, but don't let it ruin a great player for you. I mean, Madrid are the vilest villains ever, but I'm still a big fan of Van der Vaart, Sneijder, Huntelaar, Robben, and Metzelder.
I always found Real much more likeable than Barcelona.
Then again, it's not Barca who had Šuker and Zidane so that might be the reason i like Real much more than Barcelona.
It probably is. I for one, as a supporter of the beautiful game, find it extremely difficult not to admire their philosophy. If there was any club i wished Arsenal would be like, it would definitely be Barcelona.
At the moment, I can't deny Barcelona's greatness. They are probably the best team in the world together with Man Utd. I give credit where it is due. I don't feel so charmed by their football though. Real Madrid don't play such boring football, they are keeping it simple and I like that.
