Tomás Roncero is a well-known sports journalist and regular contributor to El Chiringuito. Recently, he stirred up controversy with his recent comments about Barcelona and its performance in the Champions League. In a recent show, Roncero replied to claims about Barça's "family," a concept that's been common in recent years.
The "Family" Concept in Soccer
Barcelona has been seen by many as a "family" within the soccer world, referring to the close relationship between its players and the united atmosphere within the club.
However, Roncero didn't share this view, asserting that all teams, regardless of their history or success, should be considered a "family." For him, this isn't an exclusive trait of Barça, since any team that manages to be successful on the field can be considered closely united. In his words, "all teams are a family," a direct message to those who idealize the Catalonian club above others.
Real Madrid as a Model of Success
Roncero took the opportunity to highlight the virtues of Real Madrid, Barcelona's eternal rival. In his remarks, he claimed that Madrid's "family" is stronger and more solid, something reflected in its impressive track record. The journalist asserted that, while Barcelona can be considered a unit, true success lies in the titles.
According to him, Real Madrid is better prepared to keep racking up victories. Roncero emphasized that Madrid has what it takes to win the next Champions League, reaffirming the superiority of their "family."
Barça and Its Recent Struggles
As for Barcelona, Roncero wasn't as optimistic. The journalist pointed out that the Catalonian club, despite its past successes, faces challenges on a competitive level. He claimed that, despite the efforts, Barcelona won't reach the level of success of Real Madrid. The latter, according to Roncero, is always a strong contender to win the Champions League.
For Tomás Roncero, soccer isn't just a matter of unity, but also of results. For Roncero, a club's "family" is proven through victories. Real Madrid is the best team, not just because of its history, but because of its ability to win titles.
Roncero believes that, although Barça is a united "family," it doesn't have the same competitive strength as Real Madrid. Therefore, it won't achieve the same results
