That is, of course, if we decide to exclude Frank Ribery, 2013 UEFA player of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both <strong>FC Barcelona<\/strong> and <strong>Real Madrid<\/strong> have spent a good lot of money this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The catalan side paid <a href=\"https:\/\/www.footballticketsbarcelona.com\/fc-barcelona-news\/official-neymar-5-year-deal-with-fc-barcelona\/\"> \u20ac 57m to bring the Brazilian superstar Neymar Jr<\/a> from Santos FC to the Camp Nou, whilst Real Madrid obtained Gareth Bale from Tottenham Hotspurs with the biggest transfer fee in the world of football : \u20ac 100m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This brings to the table a question that only time will be able to answer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">El Clasico : Which attacking duo is the best ?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>FC Barcelona<\/b> have made only one signing during the summer break. But they now have in Neymar Jr what they have been lacking last season : A man that can take over a whole match when Leo Messi is having a day off (it happens&#8230; although not that often) or is out for injury. Moreover, when combined with La Pulga on the pitch, Neymar Jr will leure defenders to his side, leaving Leo Messi with a whole side of the pitch. An explosive duo which should be a real headache for opposite sides to try and contain, with no excpetion for Real Madrid, which will face the catalan squad twice this season: 2 more CLasicos!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Real Madrid<\/b>, on the other hand, have decided to break the continuity of 3 troubled years under Jose Mourinho. Good bye<b> Gonzalo Higuain<\/b> (Napoli S.C.C) and <b>Mesut \u00d6zil<\/b> (Arsenal FC), los Merengues have put their money on young playmaker <b>Isco<\/b> from Malaga and on the Premier League superstar Gareth Bale.
