Real Madrid won the Spanish Super Cup last Sunday, beating Barcelona in the semi-final and Athletic Bilbao in the final. Carlo Ancelotti’s team also leads the Spanish Championship, with Vinicius Jr. as one of the main highlights.
In a virtual presentation, Daniel Alonso Duarte, La Liga delegate in Brazil, said that interest in Real Madrid in the country has been growing, as the team has Rodrygo, Casemiro, Marcelo and Éder Militão, in addition to the aforementioned former Flamenguist.
“It has a lot to do with the stars that are in the teams, the local heroes, it happens all over the world. If you have Neymar at Barcelona, obviously the Barcelona fans will grow a lot, because he is a local hero. Now there are more Brazilians.” at Real Madrid, for the Brazilian national team, Vinicius is having a blast, so Real Madrid is growing much more. But it’s normal, there are waves that go because the fans like to see their hero”, he said.
On the other hand, Daniel Alonso Duarte highlighted that Barcelona are also great, as many people started to cheer when Ronaldinho Gaúcho defended the club’s colors, for example.
“Also, the one who chose a team, if you chose Barça during Ronaldinho Gaúcho’s time, normally you will continue to be Barça. You usually choose a team once, it is very difficult to change teams. So Barça has a lot of strength. In the last 20 years, Barça was a little above Real Madrid. Now, I believe that if Vinicius continues at this pace and this connection between Real Madrid and Brazil, it can change”, he highlighted.
In the current season, Real Madrid has five Brazilians in the squad, while Barcelona have only Daniel Alves. Recently, Phelippe Coutinho left Catalonia, on loan to Aston Villa, from England.
