Sampaoli: Barcelona's MSN more effective than Real Madrid BBC

Chile coach Jorge Sampaoli has spoken of the differences between the Barcelona attack and Real Madrid's.

Sampaoli rates Barca's trio as more effective.

"The friendship between Messi, Neymar and Suárez is one of the worst things that's happened to football. Leo can win a game on his own; if he's supported by Suárez and Neymar, then that's just not fair," Sampaoli told Marca.

"It should be banned. The difference with Real Madrid is that Bale, CR7 and Benzema don't only fail to support each other, but they neutralise each other. When Cristiano Ronaldo gets on the ball then Cristiano Ronaldo finishes the move. When Bale gets on the ball then Bale finishes the move. Benzema does the best that he can with the leftovers, as a natural goalscorer, but they don't create for each other."
