Nothing but silence at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu

Had a great day? Me too.



Long story short, Real Madrid with its deeper bench played too defensively and were punished for it.  The tactics were wrong and the best team one.  Barcelona had the momentum with several forays at Iker’s goal long before Pepe’s red card.  Also, unlike in the previous games, C.R., Ramos, Ozil, and Di Maria failed to deliver.



Remember, Madrid were the favorites coming into the game…



As for the goals, the first was a world class team effort that saw a pin-point pass from Afellay find its intended mark at Messi's foot, while the second sublime goal was piece of pure individual genius spanning 30 meters and 5 Madrid defenders.



Visca Barcelona!
