That's what happens when you take your foot off the pedal against Barca. How many times has Messi rescued Barca when they are playing poorly. Oh well, looks like Real are gonna **** this one up, despite being at home with a one man advantage. Tsk tsk.
One of the reasons why I laugh when people say 'Messi needs Xavi and Iniesta'. The amount of times he gets them out of a hole is unreal.
They didn't really take their foot off the pedal. Every team concedes fouls... not much they can do about that free kick. Oh, and that kit still looks ugly as ****. (though not as bad as their second)
They took their foot off of the pedal by not converting their chances. They are going to rue those chances they missed. You simply can't afford not to be clinical against Barca.
Indeed. What a monstrosity that was. And some think our away kit is bad, we should be happy that our kit designers never came up with something like that.
Barca play so dirty when they're losing. Diving, fouling etc. You see their true colours when their backs are against the wall.
As the game goes on, it's no wonder why Valdes is #3, behind 'Calamity' Reina in the Spanish goal keeping pecking order.
Wonder if the Qatar Foundation got some input in. Sort of like a poorly rendered sunset on the desert.
How ironic that Song and Modric have come from two teams that have played in a fierce derby to only rival each other again, except this time, one will be playing and the other will have a front row seat.
