Aspen said: "Congratulations to Barcelona for winning the Club World Cup and achieving an unprecedented five crowns!"

Marca said: "For the whole of Spain, this is a happy day!"

As for the media in the Catalonia region, they completely praised Barcelona to the sky. The World Sports Daily said loudly: "Who else can Barcelona not beat?"

"Barcelona is the most powerful team in the universe!"

Team Cosmos quickly became another name for Barcelona.

The media in other European countries have also praised Barcelona. After all, Barcelona is an unprecedented five-time champion. For such a team, can you still criticize him?
The emotions of the British are complicated. On the one hand, they have always been unconvinced by Barcelona's achievements.If the Champions League semi-finals were not helped by the referee, could Barcelona enter the final?But on the other hand, Barcelona's performance in the Champions League final was indeed impeccable.

The Club World Cup final was reversed and won. Barcelona not only won praise in Spain, but also left the British media speechless.

However, what World Sports Daily said made them unbearable, it was too arrogant.

The Daily Mail published a signed article: If Barcelona is the Cosmos team, what team is the Wolves?

"In the year that is about to pass, the achievements of the Spanish giants Barcelona are undoubtedly admirable. If it weren't for the Wolves, they would have won all the championships in the competition and achieved the Grand Slam—six championships!"

"When a certain Spanish media shouted 'Who else can Barcelona not beat?', did they forget the European Super Cup?"

The Spanish media and the British media are like a pair of enemies. The media of the two countries have been red-faced on "Who is the current No. [-] league?" first" tone.

The Daily Mail article seemed to give the British media a direction, so the British media brought up the UEFA Super Cup and even Wang Rui.

"Thinking of the European Super Cup, the Wolves beat Barcelona and couldn't find the north, the Cosmos team? God, are they invincible?"

"Is Messi amazing? How many goals has he scored against Manchester United? One goal, Wang scored five goals.

Let's not talk about the game against Manchester United, let's talk about the game against Chelsea. How many goals did Messi score in the two rounds of the Champions League semi-finals last season?Zero balls!In the Premier League game that ended not long ago, Wang staged a reversal with a free kick hat-trick! "

"The Spanish media suffers from amnesia. Did they forget how Barcelona lost in the UEFA Super Cup?"

Facing the ridicule of the British media, the Spanish media immediately counterattacked, thinking that the British media had the mentality of "saying grapes are sour if you can't eat grapes".

For the UEFA Super Cup, they thought it was an "accident". If Barcelona took that game seriously, the result would definitely not be that way.

A war of words was waged between the media of the two countries, and Wang Rui, who was recovering from his injuries, stared at the drama in astonishment.
