Real Madrid vs. Barcelona [P+R]

[datboy]

WHOAA!! I was so nervous about this match. now that we won im happier then ever.
Luxa did the right thing. hope this win helps him to stay. cause he really is the right coach for our team. Beckham did a really good match. his crosses are just flawless! Pavón did his job. and our own GOD Casillas made some brilliant saves.
Ronie ended his goal drought. and Raúl got to score 1. Owen is just amazing.

7 matches to go. 6 pts up to Barcelona. anything can happen.

and to the Barca fans, defeated by Madrid and Etoó injured. + Puyol suspended in next match.

Great match. Real played really well and Barcelona let Real run rampant for too long. Ronaldinho really pulled for his side to get back into it (great FK goal BTW) but it was no use. BTW just as bad as losing 4-2, Barca lost Eto'o to injury. I really cannot imagine Barca without him. After Ronaldinho Eto'o is the most important player. Ronaldinho is the heart, and Eto'o is the brain. Or perhaps the lungs.

Ronaldinho's gola was very very very important. I still expect Barca to win the league for about 13 to 16 points.

4 - 2

What a Game !

Barcelona could not handle our attack today.

Our 5 attackers ( Ronaldo, Raul, Owen, Zidane, and Beckham) all played great especially Becks. It was one of the best games I have ever seen out of him.

Our worst player was Pavon, but I expected that. I think the team played very well together.

Man, I feel good.

I can't believe some of our players... Oleguer didn't do anything, Belletti can't cross (for a player of his position, where he is supposed to cross whenever he gets the chance), Valdes didn't save anything, Gio was also pretty weak and reckless (should have been sent off for that foul on Owen). The only one worth watching in our defense is Puyol, but unfortunately we only have one Puyol so it's basically a one-man-defense. I just can't understand how no one gets in the way of Ronaldo's cross (Zidane goal), and how Ronaldo and Zidane are all alone when Beckham takes the free kick... it puzzles me.
Giuly missed everything he could. Again a very bad match for him.
Ronaldinho woke up eventually and played well in general. Nice goal.
Eto'o was awesome again. He was our only offensive-minded player that actually did some damage in the first half. I just hope he is not seriously injured.
And one other thing I can't figure out is what was Damia doing in there... Gerard should have entered.

We dominated the match, but Madrid played the smarter game. And once again, Rijkaard was fooled by another manager. We play naive football. We have the possession, we make the chances and then get killed in the counters. It's sad that we can't learn our lesson by now (Milan, Chelsea, Betis, Madrid...). Madrid pulls back and lets us play however we want and we welcome that, and by doing that we fall into a trap and get beaten. Nice job.
I wonder how many chances can Giuly miss...
And I regret that I had wanted Gio to play today. He proved not to be up to the task. Wow.

Congrats Real Madrid.

I am still confident in the title, tho. We have Valencia at Mestalla and Villarreal at home. Those are the hardest games until the end. I don't think we have a stronger opponent than them. And if I'm not mistaken, Madrid travel to Sevilla.
Fingers crossed. We have to maintain this lead.

Forca Barca!

Big headed you.... ...Like if you already won the league, but w/e nice win by Madrid and great game by Becks.. ...like his Manu days.

Gravensen and Salgado got served by Ronaldinho even though Barca lost.

How the hell am i big headed just becuase i am happy that my team won against Barcelona

Its not like im gonna be mad that we won against Barcelona.

I dont see how celebrating the victory over Barcelona in any way shows that we have won the league, in case you dont know Barcelona are in first place.

Man this must have been Beckhams best match for us so far. He played amazing as did Graveson.

I was a little dissapointed with Zidane after his goal he couldnt really catch up to the ball whenever he tired to get past players, i think his just too old but he did good.... maybe him hitting the post affected him LOL. I felt that the attackers in this match played very well and they all got a goal, Ronaldo, Raul, Owen. Great job by Luxa.

The first 20 mins it seemed like Barcelona were not even on the pitch, we were just dominating them.

Iker was amazing maybe the man of the match.

In the 2nd battle of the Ronaldo's it was the older that won this battle. Although Dinho still tore it up!!

Good call to bench Figo IMO

Ronie score and we beat Barcelona.It was one great match,the team play excellent and La Liga is back for us

 

[TheBlueBalla]

All i can say is wow.

Well, put. Im shocked myself. After the 3-0 drubbing, people got their jollies off slandering madrid. Frankly, ive got no particular love for either side, but fair is fair, and i was glad to see this for the sake of equality. What I cant believe is that Becks had a good game. Or, for that matter Raul. Whoever actually saw it, who was MotM? And lets hope Eto'o is alright: he may have a huge mouth, but injury is something to be wished on nobody.

Beckham was phenomenal. I will never bad mouth him again. We showed why they call us galacticos today. Barca fans, we're even now for this season. Time to see if we can catch you guys now. It'll be interesting.

 

[QYC]

What the hell why are all the Madrid fans being super arrogant after one victory? It's still 6 points and Barca has shown the consistency whereas Madrid hasnt.

 

[Jimbob]

I would give Beckham the MOM award...Tireless running, Excellent short and long passing all that was missing was a goal.. Thats what he used to play like week in, week out when he was at his best..

 

[Crusad3r]

Beckham reminded me the Beckham of Man U

are you ******* stupid? should we all be sad because Real beat their rivals in the biggest game of the year? yes we're 6 points behind, yes we have little chances of the league, but that doesnt mean we shouldnt be happy as hell with his victory. seriusly, think before you post, most of us are hitting back at people who predicted an easy 0:3 win for Barca today, and crap like that.

 

[Jimbob]

Beckham reminded me the Beckham of Man U

Exactly

 

[datboy]

if only Becks could play like this all matches. he was absolutely amazing tonight.

 

[R.9]

I am glad Beckham played like that prove that he can still play like in his good time.

 

[Crusad3r]

Cause this season everyone in this forum kept talking how bad was R.Madrid and how amazing was Barça.

 

[Jimbob]

Maybe a performance like that is what Beckham needed, You may see the Beckham of old more regularly from now on..
