"Madrid is one of the best teams in the world, but I don't think they're better than us"

Dat sincerity... :worthy: Lucho.

Heres how I saw it.......

Lucho played Roberto on RW to counter Marcelo who in the last couple of games had pretty much dominated the left hand side of the park and helped overload on that wing.

Roberto had the engine to match Marcelo when he was attacking. When Barca had the ball Roberto came in off the wing into the middle to out number the midfield. Marcelo did not have a clue what to do and let him go almost every time.

If Marcelo got on the ball while Roberto had drifted in Rakitic held back a bit and positioned himself to cover the run.

Eventually Real caught on to what was happening and started to cover the runs inside of Roberto more from their midfield....at which point space opened up on the other side for Neymar a lot more to get the space to operate.

Thats why Neymar had a relatively slow start and it was all deliberate from Lucho.

Could be speaking shite but thats how it looked to me!

My only disappointment was Messi didn't break di Stefano's record for a manita.

Otherwise, I'm just gonna say told y'all to be calm about this :coffee:

Not sure why people were nervous about this one.

We look excellent but tougher tests will come. Benitez has turned this team into shit and either this January or June, they will have a fire sale.

Only Bayern can give us a game with us at full strength. Hope we draw Chelsea in the 16s so we knock them out of CL.

Lucho's the man. I'll make a tactics post later.

Certainly doesn't hurt having a Balague buffoon like Benitez in charge but the tactical nuance to the 4-4-2 proved to be genius, Lucho has to be commended...It'll be very interesting to see what he has in store with the additions of Arda & Vidal

Never thought Barca would again dominate Madrid like in Pep's years. At least not this soon.

I know Rafa has his critics but one just doesn't come to Bernabéu and dominate like that against full Madrid squad.

Those kind of games are very rare and Lucho did it without Messi :)

Luis Enrique: "Plan for this season wasn't to hang on until January? No, plan was what is happening now."
