2 Moments that changed the game

 

1.The Deflection Goal

 

2.The Ronaldo chance at 1-2 ,looks even more costlier as Barca finished the game in the next attack

 

Real are not that far behind Barca and will still retain their 3 point advantage

The fact is that Barcelona won 3-1 even without being close to their best. None of their players looked to be on top of their game except perhaps Dani Alvez, Xavi and Fabregas. As I had predicted, Barca win away and I seriously think they are a much better outfit when compared to Real Madrid.

 

Oh and all talking about Ronaldo having a bad game ... except for that wonderful run which led to the first goal, Messi was non-existent in the game as well.

Messi wasn't non existent. He made some really good runs and passes. Ronaldo was barely even present.

Yeah Messi was sh*t. But Had a moment where it mattered more.

 

But Ronaldo was sh*t at key moments.

First u say that Barca won without being at their best which is bullshit according to me as Sanchez and Iniesta played the best they have this season.

Then y not point out that Benzema, Ozil, Di Maria were nowhere close to thr best as well???

 

 

For me 3 reasons for Real's loss tonight were -

 

1. Coentrao - Pathetic. responsible for 1st(screwed up OT) n 3rd. Could have been more goals in the end. Iniesta was raping Coentrao whole match.

2. Ronaldo - Always craps his pants against Barca except for Copa Del Rey.

3. The Deflection off Ramos for 2nd.

Imo, Real Madrid looked the deal for the first 30 mins and Barca were just not reaching their level of play. But Madrid could not take advantage of that. Even at half time, I would say Madrid looked to be playing very good. It's just that after the 2nd goal, the bodies of Madrid players dropped and they lost their belief.

Agreed.

 

Though Ozil has been inconsistent this season, i was expecting more from Benzema and Higuain were disappointing.

 

Di Maria Gave it all TBH.

Barca have far superior mental strength compared to Real Madrid. That was the real problem today and thats been the major problem in most of the recent El Classicos. Everytime Madrid go behind, their heads drop. The players are completely deflated. Barca on the other hand play the game the same way, albeit better, when they concede. Mentally they are ready to go a goal down and are confident they can recover the deficit.

 

As soon Madrid took the lead, they were great, motivated like crazy. The moment they conceded the first, it looked slightly dull but there was still a bit of confidence. The 2nd goal for Barca really took a lot out of the Madrid players. They never looked the same after that. The 3rd well and truly finished it off. Xabi Alonso's reaction can be applied to the entire Madrid team and manager.
