Xavi: Real Madrid are victims of Barcelona success
Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Fri, 11/27/2009 - 08:36
Barcelona midfielder Xavi successfully maneuvered invitations from the media yesterday to taunt Real Madrid ahead of the El Clasico.
Xavi refused to compare the two clubs when asked, only saying: "They have a different philosophy, though I prefer ours."
Later, however, he did declare: "Now, Madrid are the victims of our play and our success. They have had to spend a lot of money after our triumphs. For now, they are doing well because they're above us on the table.
"We have to have a great respect for Madrid, because they're a very difficult team to beat. And the 2-6 is history."

Every time u spend u spend u spend, by January Agüero will take the world record of £100 million. MD hav a player while we have a team.
Pls wake up my direst friends stop sleeping cos Sunday here we come cos i cant wait to see my Sunday screen server.
More thanks to Sevilla for opening their ass.
