Brazil legend Ronaldo: Barcelona dominated the Clasico and is superior to Real Madrid
Posted Thursday, December 15, 2011 by YAHOO Sport
Brazil legend Ronaldo has insisted that Barcelona were worthy winners of Saturday's crunch match against Real Madrid.
The Catalan giants secured the full three points despite going behind in the first minute of the game, and moved ahead of their great rivals at the Primera Division summit.
Ronaldo, who played at Camp Nou between 1996 and 1997 and at Madrid from 2002 to 2007, also stated that he wants Jose Mourinho's side to win the title, but conceded the La Liga giants are still some distance apart.
"It looked to me that Barcelona completely dominated [the match]," he told Onda Cero. "There is still a very big technical difference. I hope Madrid win La Liga and the Champions League. Barcelona are still superior in terms of quality, but Madrid can retake the lead on Saturday."
Meanwhile, the 35-year-old was noncommittal when asked about the future of Santos star Neymar, who is represented by his company.
"I do not know, he has just renewed his contract with Santos," Ronaldo said. "I do not know."
