El Clasico 17/18

We should put Bale on and get him to run at Roberto. Let Ronaldo be at the end of chances instead of that fat shit

Bale will ruin the right channel with Alba this poor.

Never liked Valverde as a coach, another fraud Messi is carrying with his goals. This barca is set up so poorly

These are a number of really silly thing to say

Midfield is working really well and Marcelo too has been excellent. The forwards though has been the issue all season and this game is no different.

That was a good first half of football. Madrid is obviously playing better but Barcelona has Lionel so there is that. Um, besides the swing and the miss, Ronaldo has been playing good, too bad he doesn't have a strike partner. Would have been nice.

Also, best match I've seen from Modric all season. Really dynamic display. Suarez would fight the wind at some point and full disclaimer: Perez paid for the sun to shine there.

I didn't knew Barca were this bad in midfield. Looks like they are being carried by messi whole season.

Haven't missed much so far have I?

It was very free flowing game with very less stoppage so yeah you missed something.

In terms of goals, bad defending, wtf goal keeping and general Liverpoolian stuff, you'll be right. You haven't missed much. Other than that, pretty good game of football taking place.

you missed Benzema being the worst he can possibly be

The problem with their midfield is speed. Iniesta, Bus, Rakitic are turtles

Any other team and I be sure of a win but they have Messi who just needs an openimg to score

Btw I loved Carvajal sandwiching Suarez the little twat. Hope he does it again

Awesome press from Real in the first half

Goal engineered by Busquets

Well deserved goal we lost our control in the 2nd half

What happened? That goal was SOOO sloppy it's like Zidane pissed them off and they are intentionally losing now ffs

Barca look menacing suddenly

The amazing thing about that goal is Barca finally exploited the fact that Kovacic is out of the game. The reason Rakitic had so much space is because Kova stayed with Messi instead of filling the hole behind the midfield press. You can even see him in the replay hesitating over whether to stay with Messi or fill the gap. He stayed with Messi, Rakitic went free, and it's 1-0.

yeah still surprised we used such a negative a small minded tactic vs Messi

not the first time Zidane tries a tactic that gets exploited, barca are running don the middle more and more, they are figuring it out

you can see how paulinho is pushing right down the middle now

Ramos doesn’t cover his mans and after he hits someone in the head
