FC Barcelona and Real Madrid CF have possibly the strongest squads in the world. Of course, you might suggest that both got knocked out of the Champions league semi-finals against Chelsea and Bayern Munich, but then that is football. And the favourites don't always win. Technically, looking at each player in each position as well as the team strength, this two can crush any football team in the world on their day. The Spanish National team that won the Euro 2008, the World Cup 2010 and again the Euro 2012 is composed mostly of players from these two giants. So here we look at how their individual squads were built! After the break...

Half Time at the Bernabeu

Things couldn't get worse! Barca are 1 man down (Adriano) and the scoreboard reads 2-1 in favour of Real. One more goal could be enough to win. Messi was the man to score the last goal. Can we get another goal with ten men? Sure we can. Go for it champs!

Before the evening could end in an overwhelming victory at home, a Valdes blunder in the end resulted in the score line 3-2. That means there's everything to play for at the Bernabeu.

Messi and team Barca break even more Records

The best player EVER? Image : AP

Messi makes breaking records look so easy, doesn't he? Every few games there's some record waiting to be broken by him. Many standing for decades. And remember he's merely 25! What he can possible achieve and overcome is terrifying. Last year Barca missed out on the two most coveted trophies, the league and European cups. Other than that, Messi had a stellar year! 72 goals in all competitions is the the cherry on top of the various achievements that included beating César Rodríguez to become the top scorer in the 113-year history of FC Barcelona.

So what record(S) did he break last game? Read more to find out!

Video : Alex Song Beauties!

Alex Song - our new signing

Alex Song was, after Robin van Persie, easily Arsenal's best player last season. It is yet to be seen how Tito Vilanova uses him, be it starting alongside Busquets in Defensive midfield, play as a Centreback in Puyol's absence or maybe even as a substitute when games already in the pocket need to be "shut". He could be Barca's missing Joker in the pack! We don't know whether he's going to feature in the clasico to come or not but it doesn't mean we don't indulge in this beautiful video. Hope we're gonna get to make a similar video in the future...with him inside the blue and red shirt! Check the video down below! Neat?
