Both teams are hated by neutrals. The scale does tip into either direction depending on who's doing better though. Pep era Barca had way more hate than Madrid. Right now I'd say Madrid gets as much or maybe a bit more hate. I also don't think that hating a team necessarily influences hating a player. Unless the team you hate is a direct competitor in which case you'd probably hate or at least dislike all their players.

"Hated by neutrals?" Talk about an oxymoron.

What you say also sounds like a Spanish-only perspective. Regarding your last point, you could be onto something. Maybe it's the other way around, so people hate Real Madrid because Ronaldo plays for them.

I guess it is lol. I mean people who don't support any team in La Liga. 

I guess the opposite could be a factor. I hate Chelsea because of Mourinho.
