Barcelona fullback Dani Alves: Real Madrid not true leaders
Barcelona fullback Daniel Alves has dismissed Real Madrid's Liga leadership.
Real leapfrogged Barca after the weekend's results, but Alves insists Barca remain the Liga's top team.
Alves said: "I do not think of Real Madrid as leaders because we haven't played eachother twice.
"Clearly (Barcelona are favourites), nor are Barca going to suddenly surrender everything. If they (Real Madrid) want to be champions, they must still beat us."

LOSERS LOSERS LOSERS LOSERS LOSERS LOSERS LOSERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RM, what happened to your treble push? Did something happen? LOL. Is this the great RM some of you are talking about? ROFLMAO!!!! I told you that RM is a mediocre team that cant handle any top European team. Isnt that funny how RM just thought that Lyon is just an appetizer for them before CL glory but then it turned out to be their last supper? 250 million spent and this is the result: pathetic efforts vs Alcorcon, another defeat in CL´s first round and two weeks at the top of La Liga(they will surely crumble also vs Valladolid next weekend)?! You must be very proud of yourselves coz you have found whole new ways to look ridiculous! Now Barca has even easier task to grab CL and Liga titles!!
tank u very much 4 deciding d future,bt also remember dat barca ve a game 2 play cuz,dey were lucky 2 go home wit a point from germany an,as 4 alves part, i tink he sud kno very wel dat madrid was superior 2 dem in da first leg so,dey deserved to b leaders inspite of all da negatives dey ar sayin........
Arsenal fan here, but:
Real Madrid and Barcelona are equal on points.
Real Madrid have scored two more goals than Barcelona in their league.
∴ Real Madrid are the "true" leaders, at least for now.
