[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Min Jun-young] A vote was held to select the strongest attacking line between Real Madrid and Barcelona in the past, and 67% of football fans responded that Barcelona's 'MSN' (Messi, Su?rez, Neymar) was stronger than Real Madrid's 'BBC' (Bale, Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo).

The British media outlet 'GiveMeSport' reported on the 2nd (Korean time), "From 2014 to 2017, El Cl?sico was a rivalry on a completely different level," adding, "Both Real Madrid and Barcelona had their most outstanding attacking lines during this period."

At that time, Real Madrid's attacking trio was called 'BBC,' named after Karim Benzema, Gareth Bale, and Cristiano Ronaldo.

After Gareth Bale joined in the summer of 2013, they recorded 268 goals and 102 assists.

'BBC' lifted the championship trophy for three consecutive seasons starting from the 2015?2016 season, winning the league once, the Copa del Rey once, and the Club World Cup three times, totaling 13 titles.

Barcelona also centered around the 'MSN' attacking line, consisting of Lionel Messi, Luis Su?rez, and Neymar.

'MSN' recorded 364 goals and 171 assists over three seasons.

In particular, during the 2014?2015 season, they achieved the treble by winning the league, the UEFA Champions League, and the Copa del Rey.

The media stated, "Looking at the goal records alone, 'MSN' was more destructive," adding, "Out of 85,400 football fans who participated in the vote, 67% chose the 'MSN' attacking line, while only 33% chose the 'BBC' attacking line."

Additionally, the media explained, "We were lucky to have witnessed the play of 'MSN' and 'BBC.' It was the best time."
