We'll see!

C'mon ref , that was a foul on eto'o ... but puyol gets a yellow afterwards...

what a move by ronaldinho ! c'mon barca !

WOW! Casillas... what a 'keeper.

ronaldinho almost !!! Cassilas saves

Casillas again!!!

0:1

GGGGGGGOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLL

goal baptista

you're cheering for clowntown ??

People must get over the fact that Real is a better team this season

What a one-two by Van the Man and Baptista!

Yeah! I really like Real [only their team players (Raul, Ramos, etc.) not their fvking management!], mostly because I hate Barca

im not supporting barca or real , but madrids management are really pathetic .

Their players are ok

Great move and and even grater finish from Baptista! Even crappy players have some good moments...

Is there some referee illness plaguing the football world!?? What on earth is going on with these guys, are they really so bad or are they trying to attract attention

For me there's not a choice to be made; a loathsome team will win and a loathsome team will lose whatever the outcome of this game is... well unless it's a draw... in that case... both sets of fans are in for a loathsome Sunday...

Bojan and Dos Santos warming up.

Deco out!

Dos Santos in!

And it's only the 56th minute! Rijkaard desperately trying to do something!

nasty foul on puyol

Ours don't!

(Barca must have forgotten to pay off the refs for this one).

You mean the refereeing is fair, or Real have bought them?

I think the refereeing is more even than it sometimes is in Spain. I don't know if I'd call it 'good', though.

Real win deservedly!

First of all: F Y ref!!! That worthless piece of human sh!t almost completely destroyed the game!!! Pathetic mofo he should be banned from refereeing for eternity!! Simply lame...

Ronaldinho proved once again that he's exactly what we don't need!! STAY. AWAY!!

Rijkaard lost the game...

So... only the EPL and the CL (and Bundesliga for those who watch it) left to entertain us for the rest of the season... damn it, two leagues ruined in a single day!


They do... Kaladze scored the winner in the derby a couple of seasons ago...


No, it's just that Real re-entered the business so he's now being payed from both sides!

R.Madrid proved today that they're by far the best team in Spain and probably in Europe right now (maybe Inter can match them).

S.Ramos, Baptista (in the midfield, like he did in Sevilla), Diarra... what a performance.
Pepe, he's worth every cent Madrid paid. Simply brilliant.

Well. All the team was top.

Now, there's a 7 point gap between Madrid and all the other teams. 100% deserved.

By far the best team in Europe for beating a mediocre Barcelona!?? I think you're exaggerating... you might think they're better but by far better!?? Anyway... in my view, both Inter and United are better. I think Madrid won't do well in Europe.

For beating a mediocre Barcelona? I'm saying they're, along with Inter, the best team in Europe for 2 months. And a match in Camp Nou is always a match vs. 14... (Barcelona didn't lose for the League at home for 34 consecutive matches - about 2 years).

But it has nothing to do with this match. This was just the confirmation.

I haven't seen more than a couple of Madrid games in La Liga but I watched all 6 of their CL group stage games and judging from that I'd say they are not even among the 5 best teams in Europe! The reason why I'm placing them right next to Inter and United is because they're 7 points clear off Barcelona in the title race, even if it's been a far-from-impressive Barcelona...

Real deserve credit for breaking such record.

dst just hate them too much.

I don't particularly like either Real or Barca. That said, Real played Barca off the pitch today and fully deserved their victory.

The beast, today: http://www.4shared.com/file/32862231/de5e9cc2/

@ porty ... what a goal ... his link up with Ruud was

Please God, let us meet Madrid in the 1/4.

Oh, and please God, don't let us buy Ronaldinho.

LOL great post

Just saw the repeat, fantastic to see Real win, and Ronaldinho's performance shows why Middlesbrough are the only team to offer for him for him so far, pathetic, he's a waste of time.

Just saw the highlights. Madrid made barca look very ordinary at the camp nou.

Brilliant goal from baptista. Could have been handy for milan.

What a match for Pepe. What a superb performance.
If he's not the best CB nowadays in La Liga... I dunno.


Marca and all the other papers consider him the best in Camp Nou. He is really a top-defender, with 24 yo.

Portugal is going to have a great combo with Carvalho-Pepe for the Euro/WC.

^^^^^^^^^



honestly the guy is so bloody ugly

so porty he wants to play for portugal over brazil? i guess he's pulling a deco on them

He already played one game for Portugal.

i think it's a good decision on his part. although fernando meira is a pretty darn good DB as well.

Agreed, I rate him very highly.

Portugal will have a very good squad at Euro2008. I think all they need is a great striker, a finisher. Pauleta, Gomes and Postiga aren't quite good enough for that.

Of course I credit them for breaking that record! But you're doing the opposite of what I am doing, you are praising them way too much! I mean... we've all seen Barcelona play this season and it's more than obvious that Messi is their driving force. With Messi gone, Barcelona can't function you saw that yourself yesterday... In any case, what I am saying is this win does make Real "the best in team in Europe by far" just like a defeat would not make them any worse than they are...

PS Fantastic display by Pepe!

Meira can play as CB or DM. He's good but comparing him to Pepe is like comparing Kaladze to Nesta.

all i know is real madrid is the team i hate the most in the world. their management and their fans included are a bunch of spoiled greedy arrogant little brats, i just hate everything about their philosophy.barca could of played van bommel, cordoba, ronaldo,carragher, savage (for kurt ) and coached by domenech and i'd still go them over real.

I think Madrid outplayed Barca ... They deserved the win and they deserved to win by more than a goal difference.

At the same time, I think Rijkaard f***ed up by taking Deco off. Cuz once he did that, he disturbed the balance of the team. And Barca played from the back heel since that substitution.

Catalan papers, El Mundo Deportivo, say Ronaldinho -OR- Rijkaard may leave Barcelona in January.

Also, Villa is set to leave Valencia,..

... to Chelsea or Tottenham.

If Shevchenko or Drogba leave then he'd have a place in Chelsea. To Tottenham... I doubt, I mean... Villa deserves a big club - a top club/team.

Why would he leave Valencia for Tottenham!?? Unless Valencia fail to qualify for next season's CL + Tottenham make it in the top 4 + he doesn't have any other offers (...) I don't see him making that move... even in that case I don't consider it possible.

Would be great if we can buy him, but probably won't happen. I can't see us going into bidding war.
