Braunschweig (the team with the lowest budget by far) lost 1-2 vs. Dortmund today
its hard to compare teams head to head, but they atleast put up a fight, have a good tactical game plan and thats mainly the difference. Teams seems to have a different approach in England or Germany. Sometimes it seems teams already gave up before the game even started playing Barca or Real.
Weren't there some teams in the past that rested players facing Barca or Real ?

I don't get your point.
