I watched that episode back then at german dub and what Obito said back then was not really meant figuratively, not sure if it is the same with the jpn dub so yeah... Doubt that germany messed that up since they talked about the fight and that Sasuke didn't have a chance against Itachi. Itachi's aim was never to win the battle anyways so saying that Sasuke would win now is a bit overrestimating Sasuke at a very high lvl if you ask me. Itachi was with Shisui a god with Genjutsus while Sasuke was simply medio, his sharingan was what made his gens barely good and is most likely the reason why he doesn't use it against the very strong oppenents, while Itachi's are very very hard to see through and to get out of. We could say that we saw Itachi's full capabilities just during 1-2 fights, when he was an Edo... You cannot say that he was fighting at full power against Leaf nins when he worked secretly for them and we didn't really see him try really hard to win a battle. Itachi's weaknesses are the after effects of his MS(,his illness) and his low chakra resources which if we take like the first 1-2, that I see him just losing against a handful of people and sasuke being not one of them.
