The Power vs Barney! The hottest duel in darts in the last 20 years goes into the unofficial 84th edition on Wednesday!

Taylor vs. Barney is not an ordinary darts competition. The Dutchman openly announced that he would never call the 16-time world champion a friend. The Power, on the other hand, has long since overcome the verbal and non-verbal exchange of numerous niceties and has always emphasized that it will lack the classic against the arch enemy.

The direct comparison speaks clearly for Taylor!

Phil Taylor won 61 times out of 83 so far. Accordingly, almost 75% of the duels went to the English, who cost Barney innumerable pounds and various world titles.

The last time The Power and Barney faced each other at the Champions League of Darts 2017 (10: 6 for Taylor!). However, it is by no means the case that the heroes of the sport do not constantly run into each other. Various exhibitions are advertised with both faces on announcement posters.

Even at the Celebrity Darts World Cup show in January, Taylor and Barneveld were on the same oche. Bet that there will be a big match on Wednesday, despite the physical separation?

The game went to Barney: 2007 World Cup title in Sudden Death Leg

It is undisputed that there are no friendly matches between these two challengers. To this day, Taylor will be worried that in 2007 he lost the Sudden Death Leg at 6: 6 after sets and 5: 5 in the final 13th round of the World Cup final despite a perfect start with the 180 and Barney crowned himself world champion.

Officially, the old men contest the duel on Wednesday as part of the Nexus Electronic Darts Challenge. Taylor made it clear several times in advance how much he was looking forward to the duel: “I love to play against Barney. We have had incredible duels in the past. Even if we are not in the same room, it will still have the same competitive character as usual! ”
