There is no excuse, Barca played bad initially and with 10 men held the tie. RM won on away goals, I wouldn't brag too much if I were you, nothing to be impressed about!
I like barca but this was bad.... Credit to madrid. They used every opportunity. Ronaldo and Higuain were clinical. I have a feeling barca are lacking at the back. Red card served only to worsen the situ. Well done real....
But I wouldn't discount messi's phenomenal, awesome freekick.... For a moment everyone in the stadium realised they had the best player in the world present. Incredible bend on the ball.
While I RM played great at the beginning and took advantages of the couple big defensive errors, they also failed to put away a couple of big chances.... In the end it could've/should've been a bigger margin I feel. Especially with the red card, I actually give Barca a lot of credit for doing as well as they did in the 2nd half with only 10. I guess the tiki taki helps....
But yeah, that goal by messi was definitely the biggest show of class! Pretty awesome
Higuain single handed made Madrid be on top when they didn't have any stars, he's a great striker and is the best thing they have, Barca needs to get better in defence
Yeah well I see it as both, Real are getting better under Mourinho and Barca have lost their great coach. It will be very hard for Vilanova to emulate what Pep has done over the past few years.... Alot of pressure is on him
Tito seems a little naive and myopic to buy offensive players. Even Jordi Alba the left back was purchased to stack up their insane offense. He should know that attackers win you games while defenders win you leagues. As a Madrid fan though, I don't mind at all that Barcelona lacks a really steady and sturdy defence.
Dumbass, WTF did messi's goal do other than be put on utube as highlight reel! Messi could have scored 100 of those today and if madrid scored 101 those 100 golas don't count do they!
Madrid definately deserved to win, but Barca recovered much better than I thought they would. I feel like Barca put too much pressure on Tello and Montoya, nothing against their abilities but they just don't have the gravitas or swag to keep up with Madrid.
Seriously though Barca were lucky to only lose on away goals
That shows how long you've been watching football.... Against Chelsea (The team you claim to Support) Abidal had a red card.... Damn it's not that long ago.... 2009
Agreed. Valdez is shite. Barcelona deserve a better goalie. While you could argue that Valdez is pretty good in 1-on-1s and has good ball control with his feet - the last two games make that argument difficult to make
Not even you believe that yourself, ask urself if this would have been the result if they played evenly, Barca still the best team and you'll see it. "quien rie al ultimo rie mejor"

Alexis Sanchez is a disgrace to the game. Dive after dive, even in friendlies.
