The guy is classless. One of the best midfielders of all time but a scumbag. Complete opposite to Iniesta tbh

Stop scapegoating Messi. There were others who were far worse. For instance Pique This guy is a clown lol. And Busquets was shit as well. Iniesta was invisible.

Both Pique and Busquets declined after Pep had left. They were protected by Pepcelona pressing + Xaviesta + there relatively competent defense with Puyol and Abidal. Now they're found out for the scrubs they really are. Just like fussball when you're 1v1 it doesn't matter who you play with. You either can defend or not.

I'm sure Failuis Fraudrique wanted to substitute his master Messi instead of Suarez who was having a decent game but alas we all know who runs the show at FCB

Well deserved win from Real. They dominated the game.

Don't mess with the wolf pack ffs

Amazing performance by Madrid.. completely dominant especially in the 2nd half. Barca didn't look like scoring at all in the 2nd half and the only attacker who looked like they might score was Suarez. baffling decision to substitute him. That substitution was basically equivalent to throwing in the towel ffs..

I was extremely impressed with Carvajal, Isco, Marcelo, Pepe, and Benzema today. Though I do feel there were a few fouls which should've been given to Barca (Ramos obstructing Suarez for example) , it wouldn't have changed the outcome of the game.

Well deserved victory by Madrid and congrats to the Madridistas here.

Been saying since he left Malaga, that Isco is a great player and he showed his class today.

Great win for you Real Madrid. Played as a unit and were relentless

The kid was immense, he may as well play in a three piece suit because sometimes if feels like dictating games without breaking a sweat.

It feels like that because he actually isn't. Doesn't do anything besides passing a couple of yards sideways tbh. Barca were a joke, not really hard to dominate them.

As for Suarez, first game, two dives. Let's face it he is a terrible, terrible guy.
Disgrace of a sportsman, deserves no respect at all.

lmao the butthurt is real

Kroos played great, he even defended decently, something Bayern fans said he wouldn't do lol.

Agree about Suarez, on his debut he managed to pull out one of the dives of the season against Ramos lol

some tactical experts have been humbled today

Barcelona have conceded 0 goals in 8 league games, which has never previously been done. That explains the defence

this is what happens when you watch games on whoscored.com

This is why journalists get paid peanuts and actual managers are getting that justin beiber money.

I love this man ffs

Yanited tho

Lol Falcao

Watching his idol Benzema rip

Falcao wishing he was Madrid's #9 lmao

Madrid did well to capitalize on individual errors and Barca weren't clinical enough. I can say that.

Barca deserved at least a draw tbh .

"He came because we are a big club and still relevant"

As I have been saying for years now, Busquets is useless.  Its very hard for Messi and Iniesta to do anything when no one even attempts to mark Busquets.  Selling Yaya to keep Busquets is just pure insanity (even Pep realized it like 1 year later as one of the biggest mistakes of his career)

Mou pretty much laid the foundation for the "stop Barca plan" and IMO it's very basic, don't even worry about Busquets because he has no balls and all though he is one of the the only tall people on the team he is zero threat in the air and glues himself to the same part of the field all game long making 5 yard passes.  Ignore him and use the extra man to clog the middle of the field.  This was harder when when Xavi was still elite but playing both of them just really can't be done anymore see Spain.

Why Pique still plays is beyond me.  I have no answer for that.

I thought the game really turned on that Messi miss from point blank.  He makes that 99% of the time.  2-0 up and I think Barca at least get out of there with a tie or even a win but when you give Madrid extra chances to get back in/kill a game  there going to take them.

One other thing, IMO Dani Alves used to win the battle between him and Marcelo pretty much all the time (I used to be excited when Marcelo was in the lineup vs us), he was skinned alive today.  Marcelo was electric, Benzema was excellent, I thought Isco played well and Ronaldo was decent but they didn't really need much out of him (I really wish he would stop diving) the guy is so talented and a physical freak I've never understood why he feels he needs to Dive, if he just keeps his feet most of the time he will get the PK he's looking for and maybe even a Red Card or ghost past to score.

All in all, Madrid were better but Barca had a 20 minute window where they could have put a couple goals in and changed the pace of the game/pegged Madrid back.

Congrat's on the win.

One exciting thing though, when Suarez gets fully match fit and blends with Messi and Neymar OMG, watch out it's going to be insane.

Supporting his fellow countryman making his debut in the biggest club game in the world. Top bloke. I don't see what the fuss is about.

Not like he is going on social media acting like a douche, swapping shirts at HT, while playing utterly rubbish and having a cba attitude.

Could be much worse...
