Barcelona

credit to Curtois.. great position and respons

A whole lot of Real Madrid players stepped up their performance today especially in the 2nd Half.

In the 1st half, Courtois really kept us in the game.
But in the 2nd half, Vinicuis, Kroos, Vervaldes, VARANE!, casemiro were all amazing.
Even Marcelo and carvajal were very technically accurate in their attacking and depending. I was impressed.

Now, Zidane can see that benching Kroos at home against City was a terrible idea. I hope he has some tricks up his sleeves for the return leg, cos we need that trophy.

I believe this real madrid side can beat any team becos of its versatility. But inconsistency is our becos issue.

Never play the 4-3-1-2 in FIFA

Real Madrid took the game to Barcelona in the second half. Barcelona were slightly the better team in the first half, but Zidane probably realized they can caused serious panic in Barca defence if they have a real go in the second half, hence the chaotic defending from Barcelona in the second half. They were clearing shots from goal line and Ter Stegen was the busier of the two keepers for most of the second half and this 2-0 result don't tell the whole story how relentless and rampant Real Madrid were in the second half. Barcelona looked so toothless upfront and my boy Messi, looked about as effective as the spectators watching from the highest of the tiers.

Finally, i love it when barca fail

Honestly speaking, I am not surprised or upset. Because I knew or predicted before the match that Barca will lose in El-Clasico and this is what happens. What you expect from current shitty Barca board aka Jose Bartomeu. They fired shit coach and has hired another shit coach so-called Setiens. What I understand from tonight match that Real Madrid is a complete team not like Barca as they rely on Messi only. When Messi flop then the entire team flops. And of course, I am sure Barca can't win UCL. Maybe the trophyless season for Barca is loading. Really I am missing my old Barca.

t-bo>keepa..i wonder why chelsea sold him and bought championship players

On the first goal of Real, you see the great vision of Kroos, how he is showing Vinicius Junior where to run and then make a delightful through ball!

Not the most entertaining Clasico of all time but better than the last one at least. The better team won in the end though

Barca was slightly the better side in the first half. RM was much better than Barca in the second half.

Valverde might be gone, but I saw little of impressive management from Barca. Vidal should have stayed on the pitch.

Overall a fair result.

If I see anyone saying Griezmanm needs time to succeed with Barca, I say with all due respect fuck off! Him constantly going from left to right screwed everything up. He kept coming in the way of Messi and Vidal. Instead of dragging players away from Messi to create spaces the jackass kept getting close to the other forwards. If we had started with Braithwaite I believe at least of the many chances Barca had would have gone in, and also they would have been much more organized going forward. Really surprised Setien kept him in for that long. Arthur and DJong should swap position. We've always seen both perform better the opposite of today's positions. RM's defense was all over the place and they proving way too many holes for Barca to expose, but there was Greiz to save the day. Gratz RM.

Good game, intense but there could be more chances created. Real was compact fluid and totally deserved. Messi looked tired, too early to judge anything, but Barca looked slow, and they dont shoot from distance anymore...

Vamoss mi madriid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Barca were awful. 4-3-1-2 didnt work at all

Valverde is better than Setien. At least there was some kind of a purpose to his tactics this guy's only tactic is to pass aimlessly in his own half until they lose the ball. Messi spent most of the time in the midfield than in the opposition's penalty box.

Griezmann is useless once again might as well have started Braithwaite. RM were more direct and had a purpose in their attacks. They deserved the victory.

Ramos when he gets home and empties his pocket: keys , wallet, Messi

What are you talking about, we won against Madrid 5-0 today and Hermoso even scored a hat-trick?! (Oh sorry, I thought this was Barcelona Femeni's match...)

Setien Out

Gotta love that signal from Kroos to Vinicius before that pass. MOTM Valverde, didn't put a foot wrong. Well, technically he slipped once but that's not his fault. What a player he's turning into. Ramos needs to stop being greedy with the free kicks, I can understand him taking penalties, he's pretty good at them but how does he get to take free kicks ahead of Kroos?!

HALA MADRID great game from Real
