Decent first half but looked titmred in the second. I don't think it was valverdes plan to defend for the second. We had less than 72 hours rest and travel from las palmas obviously took it out of them and whoever gave us a Thursday fixture before a game on sunday against our rival should get an ear full. I don't know how fans of these park the bus teams can take 90 minutes of defending. Anyway great result and another brilliant Messi free kick. Now I just hope iniesta will be ok for the Chelsea game

Brilliant overall game and descent result. Apart from Messi's free kick enjoy how the midfielders and defence nullified the Atletico's attack.
Rakitic Busquets and Roberto were on fire.

Logically speaking though, one can argue that Valverde's second half tactics are a result of Messi's goal. In other words, if Messi hasn't scored then Valverde would have approached the second half differently (and so would have Atletico).
One sometimes needs to consider "why is it that we watch the game from the stands or the tv while a person like Valverde does so from the field?"
At the end of the day history remembers the scores and the points/wins gathered. True story.
Btw, Pep is still active. He manages an EPL team called Manchester City in case you missed that, so feel free to watch him and his team. They play well.
You reckon Real will purposely lose against Atletico?
If it means making Barca play thier top players and get them more tired, it would help Real if both teams are still in the CL.

5 away games. Everytime the away game seems a struggle lately. You really think Barca can win 5 out of 5 away games. I would say they'd be lucky to win 3 of them

We had a poor 2nd half, down to tiredness. But Atletico still didn't create anything all game.

Or something like Milan's Christmas three formation, with Seedorf and Kaka playing sort of like two no 10s being in charge of their areas.
