MADRID, Nov 25: It's a good time to be a Barcelona fan. Not so much a Real Madrid one.

While Madrid is embroiled in turmoil and trying to avert a crisis, Barcelona just keeps on winning and impressing.

The Spanish giants couldn't be in more opposite situations.A day after Madrid's president came out to publicly support coach Rafa Benitez amid widespread discontent from fans, Barcelona thrashed Roma 6-1 in the Champions League on Tuesday for its eighth consecutive victory.

Fans of the Catalan club were celebrating on Wednesday, while Madrid supporters were left wondering if another setback was imminent in the team's Champions League game at Shakhtar Donetsk.
