In Madrid they are all excited that Sneijder could start but honestly: Guti or Sneijder or Van der Vaart, there's not much difference for me. Ramos at he left and Salgado at the right;. Hope Pep plays with Hleb instead of Henry, he would do better against Salgado. Come on!!!

this game is not just abt the three points,,,its about pride its abt glory its abt the status of barca & catalonia!! Barca need to show the world that they are a greater club than madrid!!

I am very optimistic no matter how we win as long as we just do it thats great!

i am not one who complains when barca loses ,,every time loses once in a while..however, i will be extremely dissappointed if we do not win!!!!

Henry MAn of the Match!!!!

What do y'all think???

Makes me sad for Real Madrid to watch this game, it also shows how good everyone else think Barcelona are right now.

To summarise Reals tactics:

1. Keep all men behind the ball at all times. We don't want to concead!

2. Whenever you get the chance try to injure Messi, it's good for us in the long run even if we get 100 cards in this match.

3. Raul, Higuain and Drenthe are allowed to counterattack when it's somewhat safe.

henry cant score 2 goals ,he is teh sh1t.(hoping noubarca's plan works hehe)

seriusly now real cant play more boring,they are fuuuuull defence,and kicking messi when he gets the ball,also pep find a better stradegy than puyol and yaya going gungho....,i dont think we can score like this,also the terrain doesnt help,things dont look that well,

Madrid played good but we played better..

I thought it was going to end as the battle of Goalies.. outstanding saves by both VV and Iker..

Well deserved victory. Madrid played well (leaving aside cheap tactics to injure Messi) and were almost impenetrable at most times.

Casillas had a brilliant game. Unfortunate that he ended up on the losing side. The scoreline could have been easily 4-0.

Valdes too, on the other hand had a great game. Made at least a couple vital saves.

Where exactly did you see madrid playing great??? The only thing the did was defend and counter attack something every small:) team does...:P
By the way Busquets was awesome very critical and if The Referee wasn't wearing his "white" glasses we would have won more easily... The were hitting messi endlesly thats the reason why he didn't produce his best game but his goal was the payback:P

i had to buy a new 42" lcd for this game. am glad we won cos my bruva is a Red Devil (MAN-U) and my best friend is a Gunner and both were ready to laff at me cos we live 2gether. But as I expected my boys made me proud again.
PUYOL is a beast.. MOM for me,
Henry impressed yet again.
Messi's left ankle must hurt,
Eto mst be relieved.

i am so proud

The MOM for me is YAYA TOURE don't sell this guy he is great, he is like Guardiola for me.My second best player of world(1.Davids,2.Toure Yaya,3.Seedorf in midfield).

yeah, Rafa was also great!
he should get some rest with his girlfriend lives in madrid lol

Anonymous said...

Yes im with you Rafa should go with his girlfreind in Madrid he is a worthless player who almost cost us the game today with all his mistakes..

We should get rid of this mexican and bring in a Catlan in his place he is so bad,but everone else played great except of course usless Marquez go back to Mexico!!!

cannavaro is injured after running into the post in the second goal lol, did anyone see that??

M10, May be that Messi goal give Drenthe a hint about to score without hesitation and give Ramos a hint how to smash a player without tackling him again and again.

great day for barca fans! stand outs for MOM:valdes,yaya or marquez

Dani Alves was awesome(except for that one mistake early). The Man of the Match for me. Note, that he gets little or no midfielfd cover and does both the attacting and defending with great effectiveness.
ok, i ve been watching puyol for 10 yrs since he made his debut and no one ever criticizes him becoz of his passion and energy throughout the game but really he has no tactical understanding at all. While the rest of the team keeps possession and tries to draw the opposition midfield out puyol rushes in like a bull in a chinashop and gives the ball away. Why cant he just stick to defending.
Abidal was lazy on the left and Real did a very effective job of keeping Xavi quiet. But really, they never had a chance once Barca started changing formation and moving players around. Messi moving to the centre had Ramos following him and pushed Metzelder out left throwing the defense into confusion.
Real look like an English club nowadays!!!
Barca look unstoppable!!

F$%K R/Madrid. Park a bus in front of goal and commit fouls was their game plan. Ramos talking shit saying losing wasn't in his volcabulary, he should open a dictionary or go back to school because he needs to expand his vocabulary.

Those that think Madrid played well r stupid, dumb, foolish, ignorant or all the above.

But eto should never have taken the penalty.

Every low or medium level team comes to us to defend. I dont care about their injuries, a RM should have tried to play some football. They have players to try so. A bit disappointing.

To said the truth: attacking more means gettin more :)
But they should have tried

I'm glad about the team performance, they wanted to win so much, they did great efforts, and they gained the 3points.

RM are the Balckburn of La Liga.

Is that all Ramos could bring back to Spain????
