The Barcelona icon doubts whether some Blancos players actually want their team-mates to score.Barcelona legend Johan Cruyff has lambasted Real Madrid for their "ridiculous" record of one Liga win in their last seven attempts.Luis Enrique's men defeated last year's Spanish champions Atletico Madrid at the weekend to secure their fifth title since finishing third in 2007-08.Real Madrid once again have to settle for second place domestically, which is scant consolation considering they were dumped out of the Champions League last week by Juventus.Cruyff, who starred as a player at Camp Nou before becoming an iconic coach for the Catalans, slammed the Blancos' failures and even suggested the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale do not want each other to score.It's ridiculous that they have only won the league once in seven years, the Dutchman told De Telegraaf.
Losing the title race once isn't a problem, but doing so for so many seasons is unacceptable.I had doubts whether any Real Madrid players actually wanted their team-mates to score in recent games.That's the difference between them and Barca, where everybody pulls together to score goals.Cruyff also took a swipe at the cash-rich English clubs and Paris Saint-Germain for not performing in Europe this season, while praising Primera Division and Serie A sides.Spanish and Italian football have been a cut above the rest," he added. "The Premier League has been disappointing. It's been proven once again that it isn't all about money.I say that about both PSG and Manchester City, who had a lot more money to spend than Juventus. I have the utmost respect for Juve. They were in Serie B not so long ago, but they came back strong.Barcelona will clash with Juventus – who are on track for a treble if they defeat Luis Enrique's men – in Berlin on June 6 for European glory.
