In the end it was a tie indeed but Sasuke statment that he lost is because Naruto even at disadvantage matched him, that's why he said he lost. This shows that Naruto is indeed stronger (i'm not saying by far don't get me wrong) and as someone already mentioned good always win, same was with Hashi-Madara and probably with Ashura-indra (we don't know but we can assume)

EDIT: That was Naruto with half Kurama, now he have whole Kurama and probably fully mastered his powers as Sasuke mastered his Rinnegan so this adds even more gap between them. And i'm not Naruto fanboy just to clear things out, i like Sasuke too and all Uchihas but facts is facts :D Wel if Sasuke mastered his Rinnegan to Nagato or Madara's extent, it'll probably be the same proportional gap. Also, his other abilities most likely increased as well.
