Tello is unbelievably good. He is so confident and skilled for such a young and inexperienced (in first division at least) player. I'm glad Spain has a bright future with such great talent being brought up by the clubs. Good job Barcelona with their farm system but Hala Madrid! :D

On a lighter note, I wanted to see the black cat that ran across the field during the game...

messi needs to move to england PL, he will "explode" there...swansea maybe?

I'm surprised how many people watched this just to see Vela's goal!

Vela come back to West Brom

barca always wins because dani alves was in nomination for the best actor and best comic role both

That Tello kid is really good, he should start over Alexis Sanchez most games, Tello is a better passer of the ball and cant understand better with most players, Sanchez just wants to go through everybody, someone needs to tell him that he's not Messi. Cool Finish by Vela but Barca dominated the whole match. Another thing I was shocked to see Messi missed when he passed by the goalie... he usually makes those.

I really hope Madrid would b beaten by some team so we can catch out 2 them, Barca still d best team in d world n Messi d king Lio

velaaaaaaa

the one who rated Barca rubbish im sure he never saw this match
Barca had so many chances, they missed like 4-5 goals this match.
if a team creat so many chances he cant be "rubbish"
they weren't amazing caus they missed their chances but tat is not rubish.
I think there is a team in Madrid, mybe its his fans who rated rubbish, mybe they didnt watch their game against Getafe, that is what i call rubbish

Great job from the youngsters. Messi could of done more but he needs to be rested. Should of not played the whole game if the valencia match is lurking around the corner.

Nice job vela.

We had only 4 players from last year's first team in the starting lineup this game. The new generation of talents is hungry for trophies . They will only get better. I wanna see some more of Sergi Roberto and Montoya. Montoya should have played for Dani Alves.

- You know there's something wrong with some people voting when both teams get mostly awesome AND rubbish votes with an almost 50/50 distribution...neither team was neither, but it never seems to play out that way (the "average" vote is hugely unpopular), especially with Barça. Haters gon' hate and fanboys gon' fanboy.

- I think it was a mixed performance by Barcelona. Playing twice every week (including in the 2 weeks to come) takes its toll, especially on Messi, Alves and other players who barely ever get rested. No Xavi OR Iniesta is a gamble. In terms of posession and creating chances this was a good game. In terms of defensive attentiveness and finishing not so. The win is certainly deserved when you look at the stats.

- While he makes the odd mistake, I think Pep knows what he's doing. We might be in a bit of a transformative stage; Xavi and Puyol are not getting younger, and Villa might also not get back to his World Cup form. At the same time, Cuenca, Tello, Dos Santos and of course Thiago are getting better and they might become leading first-team players. If what we're seeing is not a fourth straight Liga title, I'm convinced it's at least a lot of solid groundwork for the next five years being done.

wtf man this is only 1 goal!

I'm still looking for a reasonable answer for the rating Barcelona gets whether they win 9-0, draw, win 2-1, lose ...
is it possible some people have not figured out how the rating system work yet !!!
