El Grand Clasico...

[Schrödinger's Toad]

That was something else. Iniesta's incredible. And Mourinho was surprisingly gracious in the press conference.

 

[blue and white army]

Thats a great return for pumping in £13.5m each year into the youth set-up. Don't know why other teams don't follow suit, Barca are clearly reaping the benefits.
Good article this Barcelona bask in the love money cant buy | European Football - Times Online

I'm sorry, but this Barca side (on their day) are better than any club or national side, ever. It is literally PERFECT football. They have perfected the game of football.

 

[disgruntled h blocker]

All this love fest over Barça, but have you been there when they have lost a game badly?

Well, if you think the booing at Withdean was bad at half time, there was continual whistling and heckling when I last saw them lost.

 

[alan partridge]

Just wonder if there are any Barca fans in F block at te New Camp screaming out "Hoof it" when Barca are passing it about

It was truly mesmeric. Ineista,Xabi and Messi ....say no more.
A joy to watch and even better the way that knob Ronaldo lost it. I wouldn't have him in my team ever. Total Fudballer he is.
Barca just brilliant...

Sensational performance, what a team. A pleasure to watch.

 

[beardosh]

Quite possibly the best game of football I have ever watched. Absolutely stunning performance and made to look so so simple. That Barca performance should be the blueprint for football and shown to all kids. On the whole, the barca players kept moving and playing even when being fouled - you had to either win the ball off them or literally drag them (or hack them in Ramos' case) to the floor.

Be interesting to hear what Jose made of it all!

It was West Hove v Goldstone all over again.

 

[Return of the Rev]

Real will win the game. Ronaldo has been different class lately, but then so has Messi. Still can't see Barca winning.

gor what are you smoking

Brilliant! Lol!

 

[tottenhamseagull]

Absolutely beautiful football from Barcelona. Valdes, Puyol, Pique, Xavi, Iniesta, Messi, Busquets, Pedro, Bojan and Jeffren ALL from the youth set up at Barca... Thats 10 out of the 14 players (Alves, Abidal, Villa and Keita that weren't) used last night from their youth team... English football could learn a thing or two from this lot. Fantastic

I bet Fabregas is pleased he stayed at Arsenal.

Not sure he'd be all that happy watching Barca v Madrid from the bench (or even the stands) to be honest.

 

[Yoda]

That was football. I thought it was the Albion at times.

It did remind me of how we were playing in October.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

I was lucky enough to catch the game (Mrs TRHK away for a couple of days - so I'm the Telly God). I tend to agree that I can't recall seeing a better game of football. Absolutely sublime.
