It is still an excellent defense. You'd think the theory would be better proven by a team who have 4 or 5 players who have been argued to be the best players in the world at different times (though Raul is the best and most underrated, in my opinion, and Beckham never really came close to justifying that).

Arsenal have a strong defense, and also a solid defensive midfield. Madrid have neither. Arsenal's side is built on a tough core with flair around it.
