The endless dispute between Real Madrid and Barcelona has finally come to an end, or at least that's what Sergio Busquets thinks. The talented holding midfielder believes that Atletico Madrid's players are more threatening for Los Blaugranas' intention of winning La Liga once again, leaving no chance for Real Madrid to add a 33rd domestic title to their cabinets.
"As of now, I believe that Atletico is a much better team than Real Madrid. They keep getting better and better as time goes by, and every year they end up signing better players. I'll think they will fight to win the title until the end of the season," Busquets stated in an interview.
Busquets' thoughts come just as Real Madrid remain two points behind Barcelona in the title race, led by Atletico with 47 points. Barcelona still has a game in hand, which could make them leapfrog Los Colchoneros.
The World Cup winner with Spain in 2010 revealed that, even if winning football's most important competition is out of this world, winning another trophy makes him even prouder.
"Winning the World Cup was awesome, but winning the Champions League at Wembley was incredible. I think that's the title I love the most, because we played perfect football to win it. Of course, winning the treble and all six tournaments in 2009 are something special, but that Champions League win was outstanding," the midfielder added.
Barcelona will be playing Athletic Bilbao for the second time in four days on Wednesday, when both sides clash in the first leg of the Copa del Rey Quarter finals.
