not sure that 'going for everything' is the best recipe for winning the CL ....

Messi Rakitic Suarez HM Piqué, Roberto, Alba, Umtiti

Betis deserved at least 2 cards

Espanyol losing at home to Sevilla, probably too tired after giving their all against Barça.

Busquets Vermaelen Roberto

Although we'll probably go through to next round, a loss in the Copa may be a blessing in disguise. I think our win last season may have caused bad CL performances. RM were kicked out of CDR two years in a row, saved their energy and won the CL instead.

great effort by Suarez

Real disappeared in second half and Rulli did not have his usual heroic day against Barça

Suarez Messi Vermaelen HM Alba

Sergi Roberto unlucky today

I am dreaming of a 'Magical Trident' with Iniesta, Coutinho (should we call him Lipo?) and Messi as members. Three very similar players, all equipped with magical talent.

Messi Roberto Iniesta HM: MAtS, Alba, Rakitic, Piqué, Vermaelen, Suarez

Iniesta Piqué Messi HM: Paulinho, Rakitic, Suarez, Roberto Messi received a Golden Boot and it seemed to curse him all match - should have scored 5+

Iniesta is back and a pleasure to watch, Suarez is improving and Messi has 2 assists but could have scored 4 goals - not a bad half. Deportivo not to be underestimated - good GK and quick passing.
