Cruyff: Barca still the best

Johan Cruyff has rejected suggestions that it is Real Madrid and not his favoured Barcelona who are peaking at the right point in the season.

The Catalan side saw their once 12-point lead over their bitter rivals cut to just four points after losing at Atletico Madrid on Sunday, but the former Barca coach is certainly not pressing the panic button.

"Barca have dropped eight points to Madrid but nobody would want to swap places with Los Blancos, even if Madrid have won ten consecutive matches," said the popular Dutchman.

"For me, Barca are the strongest team. There are details to be improved upon to avoid any more problems. Above all, they must continue to believe that they are the best and start winning again.

"On Wednesday it will be Barca playing in Mallorca for a place in the (Copa del Rey) Final, not Madrid.

"In ten days, Barca will go into the second leg of their Champions League tie as favourites, not Madrid."
