Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Former Real Madrid midfielder Mesut Ozil has claimed that El Clasico has gone down because of Barcelona.<\/p>\n

Ozil said this ahead of Real Madrid\u2019s La Liga El Clasico with Barcelona on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Speaking with Marca, the former Arsenal star said Barcelona have lost potential.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt that time, it was the most important match in world football. Unfortunately for us, Pep\u2019s Barc\u0327a was perhaps the best Barc\u0327a in history. It was at another level, certainly different from today\u2019s Barc\u0327a,\u201d Ozil said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that right now worldwide attention is more focused on games like Liverpool-Manchester City or other Premier League duels. Here, I think the Cla\u0301sico has gone down and that\u2019s a shame.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ozil added: \u201cBut that\u2019s not Real Madrid\u2019s fault, as they are undoubtedly one of the best teams in the world. The problem is Barc\u0327a, who have lost potential. Barcelona are struggling; they are trying. They have good players in all positions, but they have had too many injuries this season and maybe they should look a bit more at themselves and their mistakes and stop complaining about the referees all the time.\u201d<\/p>\n
