El Clásico, 10th December. Real Madrid vs Barcelona, 9PM GMT. SS1.

You can't deny that Sanchez has been involved in this game a lot...

Should be off is right, but when your Uefa darlings you can get away with anything tbf/

Looks like Real Madrid have stopped a stupid level of pressing and are now being more sensible.

Or maybe they're just tired.

So many pussies on the field, diving, play acting all over the pitch. Shame, nearly a billion are watching this game and all they do is diving here and there. Cunts! :coffee:

Messi has been booked.

Messi is so good it's stupid.

Pepe's swing of the boot. :lol:

Could've been a second bookable offence for Messi. Not given. :lol:

ref bottled that

This ref has been payed by laporta Messi should be off.

It's definitely annoying...but you see them play some stuff that you just don't get to see in other games. For the first 10/15 minutes or so it was a game of misplaced passes and people slipping about all over the place. But since there has been no pointless passing or anything - very direct and at a pace that I'm not sure many other teams could cope with.

But from the play of this first half, even though it has been even, I think it's clear Barcelona look the team most likely to do something ridiculous and get a goal. Ronaldo is very wasteful today. For that reason, I think if Real Madrid don't get the next goal, Barca will take it easily.

1-1 half time. That was quite fast paced stuff.

Hopefully they will cut down diving, play acting etc in the 2nd half. OTOH just watched the first goal, fekin comical, even Almunia cant match Alves' stupidity. :coffee:

Just turned on

What a surprise.

With quite a few players on yellow and with the ref looking visibly rattled after not giving Messi the red, I think both sides will be rolling on the floor at the first opportunity. Just hope we get some decent football in between.

Second half underway.

dod you expect any thing diffrent ?

Pique booked.

Pique booked

Terrible freekick from Ronaldo, he'll get another chance now.

I don't think the ref has been favouring one side over the other. Pique was just given a harsh yellow and now another dangerous free-kick. I think Real madrid can expect a few soft decisions in this half too.

Straight at Valdes this time. Awful.

Good save Valdes

How the fuck is that a free kick?

DIarra didnt even touch Busquets

Ping-pong football from Barca there. Good tackle by Coentrao.

Real Madrid 1-2 Barca, Xavi!!! Huge deflection on it, hits the post and goes in. :haha:

How fucking lucky are they?

Valdes. :haha:

He must be on the take.

Ronaldo has been a liability tonight. He's fucking everything up.

FFS Ronaldo

Shoot

Oezil off, Kaka on.

Kaka on

Oezil off

Has Oezil ever finished a game for Real? :lol:

Cesc offside. :lol:

Should be hauled off soon I imagine.

Lass booked, threw Iniesta down to the ground. :lol:

Good save from Casillas to deny Sanchez.

Pepe booked. He'll probably be sent off soon.

Lass off, Khedira on.

Pathetic from Messi

That was plain embarrassing. Played a shite ass ball and he knew it so fell on the floor and got the free kick

Jose will be pissed if Real lose and rightly so, can see another braw coming on. Never knew barca cheated this much.

Close freekick from Messi.
