We had a 3-1 lead. It was a game of two halves, and we were far better in the second. I would not call 4-2 as lucky anyways.

And Barca are coming down, baby!! Hala Madrid!:banana2

Yeah Raul's a class player. One of the best of the generation. But still, unlucky Vaughan; Barca are 10 times the team that joke club Madrid are.

That would basically make Barca a 10 times bigger joke.

Yeah but unlucky vaughan because Barca are the best team in the world. Your's is just full of pathetic dirty Pepe types followed by horirble football fans with the team itself being built on horrible principles. Joke club.

I would suggest that is a rather naive generalisation.

Which makes it even more astonishing that it's wholly accurate.

I'm afraid the veracity of it was dubious at best.

 

[m_vaughan]

By the looks of it Robben is going to be back, which would do us a whole lot of good.

And Guti has now been ruled out with an ankle sprain. Disappointed.

Didn't know it would be Real Madrid against Barcelona this weekend. It's pretty simple. If Barcelona wins, you can regard them as champions. If Real Madrid wins, it will be exciting till the end.

Here is a BBC preview.

Just over an hour left now. Getting a bit nervous, but looks like Van der Vaart might start in midfield, which I am not too happy about. Although on his day he can destroy any opposition. And this would the perfect time to regain his old form.

 

[shantanu_rooney]

Hoping for an entertaining 3-3 draw.. lolz might just be to much cant separate the sides. But if Madrid win would love to see Higuain score and if Barca win would love to see Messi score as usual.

 

[King Pietersen]

What a start to El Classico! Madrid give away a 1-0 lead to be 2-1 down 5 minutes later. Quality stuff!

 

[Themer]

Barca have been brilliant in this, 3-1.

 

[PhilD123]

Can I be the first to say:





Seriously though, Barca have been so lucky in this, they cheat so much, for all 3 of them goals. They deserve to have their titles stripped off them and given to Madrid for the disgraceful displays of unsporting play, such as scoring 3 times against a world class Real Madrid side.

 

[m_vaughan]

Let Barca bask in their solitary year of glory. We will always remain the better and bigger club. Hala Madrid!!

Great goal by Higuain. He is the rising star.

 

[King Pietersen]

How you can say you're the better club and "Hala Madrid" after being hammered 6-2 I don't know. Comprehensively dominated in every section of the pitch. Xavi, Iniesta and Toure dominated the midfield, Madrid offered basically nothing in attack bar the 2 goals, and never really looked like they were going to decimate the Madrid defence. Messi, Iniesta and Henry ran riot in Madrid's half, especially Henry and Iniesta. Iniesta's proving more and more that he's a class act, and one of the best midfielders in the world, and one that turns up for the big occassion. It's an embarrassing defeat for Madrid where they were destroyed by a far superior team and I can't see things changing next season unless Madrid make wholesale changes. Barca could have scored double figures out there tonight!
