Coentrao was great I thought. Without him the scoreline may have gotten out of control.

Bottom line is Madrid are built to win the league not beat Barcelona, and they probably will win La Liga and lose to Barca 2 more times.

I really though Mou had a poor performance today. I thought he should have played for a tie in a defensive approach with Pepe at midfield. Losing this game is the only thing that could have let Barca back into the league and now they did. The momentum has totally swung Barca's way and IMO Mou didn't have to go for it.

Coentrao at RB

meh..

IMO had a fault for Sanchez's and Fab's goal.

Unlucky to be placed in a unfamiliar position in such a important match..

by huntsman Sat Dec 10, 2011 7:11 pm

Ronaldo was zero.
Di Maria was zero
Ozil was Zero

Congrats Barca. You are indeed the best team.

And When will we learn that Kaka needs to start over this noob Ozil? Are we going to ever learn this?

And Lass should play at RB, Coentrao at LB.

Anyway, its not over but even if Madrid wins La Liga everyone knows who the better team is.

now the last couple of el classio results has been pretty obvious ... so maybe thats why its getting boring for some people...

i really thought based on madrid form, they are going to play great football.. and did for 60 mins...

It was a fairly even game in parts, but I felt we were worth the scoreline.

Some shockingly errors by Valdes, which is rare for him in big games.

But yeah, we were slightly the better side in a fairly even game however we had the extra quality and their supposed best player as always gets shut down against us.

To put it simply, as good as Madrid are, if you play us on even terms (trying to play instead of parking the bus, not being dirty and trying to tackle) then this is what can happen.

I have to agree here. Milan may not have the superstar filled team, but they have plenty of studs with massive balls and you can feel their desire to win, often going beyond expectations.

I got that from Madrid but only for like half an hour.

Yeah, Coentrao was pretty good. Made some great tackles and cut out their play. Did lost his man quite a bit, though.

Pepe and Ramos were pretty shocking TBH. They lost their man far too easily, especially letting guys like Fabregas and Xavi get FREE headers.

seriously barca werent even at their best, their form, and even in first half showed, but they won with their mentality.... to win and get results at all costs... even if they were 1-0 down...

madrid were opposite...

When Huntsman concedes defeat with no witty remarks, you know things are bad

Until Barca were in danger Messi was MOM
After the match won Iniesta was MOM
Flop for Barca are Valdes
Flop for Madrid is obvious Laughing

if goal.com selects messi as MOM i will win my bet today Cool

by CBarca Sat Dec 10, 2011 7:20 pm

Ronaldo was terrible and could have pretty much costed Madrid the match. Iniesta bossed, Sanchez proved a point to all the haters, and Messi played as well as he usually does, oh and Puyol starting to get back to his best ^.^

Other than that...best team won. Props to Madrid for not parking the bus, though.

Barca<3

Mourinho clearly isn't accomplishing what Madrid want from him, they should sack him. banana

Unless goal.com are controlled by 5 year olds no chance Messi wins it.

Lass in midfield was a disaster, we always play badly with him in midfield, he's good at chasing the ball but really offers nothing else in our overall gameplay.

I felt really bad for Khedira who has been so good for us this year, why start a guy at RB whoi has only played there for 45mins all season??

Lass should of started at RB and Khedira in midfield

Bringing on Kaka was a poor decision by Mou as he doesn't track back and plays too far forward to have any impact on a game where Barcelona are dominating the ball.

Ronaldo played so badly for his standards, 2 absolute sitters he missed and Di Maria often had good options but just was off his game tonight

Just poor formation by Madrid and little to no heart after the first goal we seemed to just give up
