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

[Gnidrologist]

Ugly match, lucky win. I can't understand why Lucho chosen such cowardly tactics, especially in the first time. That of course doesn't excuse incredibly sloppy passing from almost everyone on our team. How can they decline so quickly after City match?
Neymar is a dimwit and should be benched for next few games and get good slap on back of his head. If he continues hos dumbfuckery lke this, i will agree with Berkley that Pedro is better even tho he doesn't score.
Highlight of the match: Suarez shows the reason we dished out 80 mil. Scored from nothing in most crucial moment imaginable.

Our mid instantly improved when Busi came on.

Neymar was an absolute abomination. The shit he pulled today was completely unacceptable. He paved his path for the bench today, can't defend him after that.

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.

 

[Flavia]

Manage to watch a part of the 2nd half. As I turned on the tv, Suarez scored

But I felt our midfield lacked a lot, compared to kroos - modric.

It's a huge win, and those hard fought wins are very important.

Much, much better second half. After we got the second we totally dominated it, can only remember Bravo having one save to make after Suarez's goal.

We had plenty of chances, Neymar was the main culprit. They had a lot of chances first half too, we have no way of neutralising Benzema but if we had our shooting boots on tonight we should've been out of sight.

If we can ramp it up another gear, and get some good form going into the latter stages of the CL we'll be there or thereabouts.

If we proceed this way we can't play possession football anymore. We should have lost possession battle today, we wasted lot of time holding on to the ball after second goal otherwise we would have possession battle.Masch at DM just does not give control at all and iniesta was poor damn poor in first half. Rakitic was good but no where near his best, that might be the reason. All our midfielders didn't turn up in the first half and madrid steam rolled us because their mids are actually performing. I really want to return to possession based football, counter attacking should only be an element to our style not our main philosophy. I like lucho's pragmatism but i always fear it will backfire.

If we are to have more control in midfield need a good CM signing, gundogan or verratti.

Poor first half but killed them in the second. Real had a week off to prepare we didn't yet they were the ones who looked tired. We should see it out from here and hopefully have a nice rest this week.

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

 

[Gasgas]

The strangest classico i have ever watched

Their midfield is way better, but we played our cards right

 

[ZenI]

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'...

lololololol u mad ?

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...

Not in the 2nd half. We missed Busi tonight.

The naivity with which we missed some chances knowing that we're behind in the h2h bothered me also.

Madrid have the easier remaining games. So 4 point cushion is nice!
