Barcelona midfielder Xavi has rejected any comparisons between his side and rivals Real Madrid.
There had been some suggestions in the media recently that Real had slowly but surely been able to emulate the Catalan's successful playing style.
The two teams met recently in this season's Supercopa final with Barca coming out on top in an evenly contested two-legged encounter.
However, Xavi claims that Madrid with their focus on individual talent can never be compared to Barca's system of collectivism.
"The biggest difference is the emphasis on individuals," Xavi told Der Tagesspiegel.
