Real Madrid vs Barcelona

First El Clasico of the season.. I pick Madrid over Barca - not because it is at Madrid..

thoughts?
 
Barca again showed that they are still superior. Madrid may well go back ahead with their game in hand, but dont expect that lead to last.
 
I thought both Messi and Ronaldo were shockingly bad. Missed chances, bad passes etc.

Messi was very good, pulled Madrid players around with his movement, good passing, setup the equaliser with a very good run.

Cronaldo on the other hand, diving whiny play acting twat and played awful:

Taking a strop after a good tackle, then claiming injury - 1:02 - 1:12.
 
Jonny, did you actually watch the game. Messi was rubbish. He continually lost the ball and the commentators kept saying "Good Tackle" when it wasn't. His touch was shocking and just kept losing the ball.

That's what happens when you try get past some of the best players in the world. You cannot get past everyone, every time. Look at when it went right, great pass to Sanchez. Even when he does this, he pulls the defenders, midfielders out of position, which can only work in Barcelona's favour. It wasn't Messi's best game but he was nowhere near rubbish.
