Lliga: (El Clasico) FC Barcelona - Real Madrid 2-1

[KingMessi]

Barca played like Atletico tonight. Defended most of the time,watched RM miss countless chances then score some shit goals from corners and counterattacks.

Lucho set up so that Barca wouldn't really get into the game until Real tired themselves out. A gamble. But it worked out.

Don't understand the complaining, we had a big game mid week, Madrid had rest, we won, games like this we would have lost last season. It's a big 3 points and we got them against Madrid even when not at our best. It was an amazing atmosphere in the stadium.

WHAT?

Still, the best team won.

Funny that it is Real Madrid that have the best two players that are the most similar to Xavi and Iniesta - Modric and Isco.

Yep, because it is damn difficult to look for great alternatives for your incredible midfield when they are still actively playing. We tried it with Fabregas, didn't work out. I kinda think it's very much comparable to businesses who are afraid of cannibalizing their own products. Like Sony not taking over the mp3 business but a computer firm like apple having an edge there. Because Sony was in the business itself, they were afraid of cannibalizing their own products.

Is Lucho and the whole staff not aware that they beat us 3-1 in the first game? We defended the 2-1 lead like it's done and dusted. If the points are all tied up at the end of the league (which is highly possible) then we'll lose the league...

Well then. I guess it's up to the team to make sure we don't end up level on points.

Your midfield is better. No need to fight a losing battle. You just lost today mate. You had first half, we had the second.

Great analogy.

Your butthurt trolling is cringeworthy. Cmon, go outside and breathe some fresh air, you'll get Atletico-d very soon

I hope our midfield problem will not be exposed during the later stages of the CL. MSN can't do everything by themselves.

And MSN was lacking today.

Part of their lacking was our midfield, part poor performance! Suarez worked hard I think...

The risk of pushing forward more for a third and taking more risks it makes it more likely Real could get an equaliser.

 

[Ghostmaster]

Funny to read some comments like "Real was better than us", "we should have bought Hazard instead of Neymar", "Messi isn't good tonight" We have a 3 point lead in the league, we just won against RM, we're in the best form since 2012 - jeez, just be happy for a second and stop hatin'...

Agreed, we won, that means that we are better

We didn't need to push forward, just be more focused in front of the goal.

I understand but we clearly had their numbers in the last 10 mins of the second half. Doesn't help when Neymar and Suarez can't pass for shit

Good win. Great 2nd half. You guys were too pessimistic in half time. Madrid blew off physically in 2nd half without champions in midweek.

Pique was great. Piquenbauer is back.

No, I wouldn't say we did. We didn't destroy you 4-0.
