Real play like nobody else plays. High line. Static or little attacking movement. High dependence on central midfield production. So refreshing to see some new ideas in football again instead of the standard high press dumbed down football.

2009 maybe. This is like watching an alien sport. Would love to know if our coaches even know what they are doing when you see this kind of passing.

Can you imagine Pogba in either team?
It's great we missed out on Zidane though. Obviously havn't proven anything as a manager.

We are....the better team? Except they have Messi so probably no?

I mean, the story of the first half is we're better organized, play better, are just generally better in every way...except they have Messi so none of that might matter in the end

Excellent first half. Great pressure and position.It would be a pity to not get the 3 points.
Mendy's crosses are terrible.

Madrid have been brilliant and completely dominated the game but their attack primarily consists of crossing and hoping. If Ronaldo was here today, he'd probably have a hat trick already.
All that being said, the few times that Barca do attack, they definitely look more dangerous. Messi looks very dangerous and Alba is wasting a lot of chances.

How is Velverde still the manager for Barca? Madrid should be winning this but like @giorno said above Barca have Messi and he could prove to be a difference maker.

Btw El classico without Ronaldo seems very odd.

Griezmann has improved off late but he's been absolutely invisible today. He needs to stand up and be counted.

Typical Clasico as of late.

Real Madrid with more chances and looking in control.

Then Barcelona always take the lead in the 2nd half and take control and Real crumble.

Wonder if the same happens now.

Some of Messi's passes have been otherworldly.

I don't how Barca can't attract better managers. They honestly havn't had a great one since guardiola and they are the biggest pull in the world.

Mendy is a bit shit, bring back Marcelo
Granted every LB looks much worse when you compare them with Marcelo or Roberto Carlos, but I happen to like Mendy quite a lot. He's a defensive beast.

Something about right manager for their style. Doesn't seem to hurt them does it? Then you look at us - Moyes, Van Gaal, Mourinho, Ole. No logic there.
Maybe, but they've usually had good/great squads as well + Messi. Just feel they would be at another level with the best manager in the world. This current squad has Griezmann and Suarez, but take out Messi and they don't look all that special.

This is pretty much how Barca will look like when they eventually play a decent opponent and crash out of CL. Pretty much dominated and just waiting for Messi to save them.

Oh suarez is the worst piece of sh!te ever to step on the football field. He went down after taking the ball in his chest, acting as being hurt. Feck me he is beyond any words...
