Kluivert: Champions League success for Madrid would be better than Barca’s double

Barcelona legend Patrick Kluivert has said that Real Madrid will have had a better season than Barcelona if they can clinch a third successive Champions League.

The former Netherlands striker said that a Champions League win would eclipse Barcelona’s domestic double.

The Dutchman won Europe's premier club competition with Ajax in 1995 and said that it is the biggest achievement in football.

Speaking at a golf tournament - El Desafío Nacex (The Nacex Challenge) - which is played between Madrid and Barca legends each year, Kluivert said:

"The Champions League is the biggest award any club can win but it is very hard, wining a double is good as well but winning the Champions League is better.
