What’s the percentage of matches Madrid finish with 10 men against Barcelona for the past decade? Other than one or two they’re all fair too

Wouldve been better to let the ball go in, then you can try and mount a comeback with 11 men, now it’s all she wrote.

Incredible pass by Messi that started the goal, that's Ronaldo doesn't have in his locker.

What the hell was he doin so high ?
I really don’t know. Wasn’t even the first time he was there. Whatever Zidane was planning today, it’s failing horribly. Barca aren’t even that good and yet lead comfortably. Kovacic man-marking Messi failed horribly, too.

This is going to get ugly now. Football is so amazing. RM should be winning this in the first half then come out flat in the second and get hit on the counter and then a collapse before Zidane could make some changes. Feel that they’ve been a tad unlucky.

GAME OVER! People criticise United and Mourinho when we are 2nd in the league and Real Madrid are 4th. Zidane’s job could be at risk soon, which is sad considering all he has achieved but Perez won’t be at all happy so far this season.

Haven’t been following la Liga much recently.....what’s this going to mean for Zidane? I assume his stocks still high enough to get through this ok?

Madrid gappy at the back. There's a slowness to this el clasico, a looseness. All of a sudden Jagielka's aimless unpressured clearances bring clarity to rhe PL's superiority.

Hating Suarez for that handball was stupid. He did the right thing and it paid off too.
There are plenty of other reasons to hate Suarez

Is that the rule? or is that what you think should happen?
The rule is denying the opponent. When someone is through on goal and is tackled the defender gets a red because he's denying a clear goal scoring opportunity. If the ball goes straight to another player who then scores it should be a goal, not a free kick and a red card. The ref just thought that he saved a shot, had he waited a second he would have given the goal.

I never will understand handballs ahead of the goal line.

Hmm. what would i like to choose: A red and a pen or a goal, surely first..

Game as expecting, Real isn't good enough this season and the defense is comical.

Terrible by Madrid. Was really rooting for them as my friend is a Barca fan and he is one of the most annoying and delusional feckers ever.

This gives me hope for us next season though when you look at how dominating Madrid was last season and how they fell apart this year, the same hopefully happens to City next year.

Doesn't make sense, I just remember it being a big deal here when in reality you take necessary measures sometimes.
That was a long time ago. It was a world cup and with the possibility of an African bein in the semi final for the first time ever, surely the context is a bit different so why would you even ask about it ?
