El Classico Thoughts

So, it looks like the title belongs to RM.

Did anyone else think that with the uncertainty of Guardiola's future, the squad looked very nervous and disinterested?

Hopefully they will play like this vs the Blues come Tuesday.

Hope they destroy Chelsea!!!
RM played better, didn't allow Barca to keep possession in their half.
The first two goals were crappy.
Not fair to rate Barca on this game, they better and will prove it this week.

Madrid worked their socks off and deserved the win. Great goal by Ronaldo.

Madrid deserved the win as they performed very well.
Pep obviously has prioritized the champions league over la liga, which does make logical sense, seeing as even if he put out his first choice 11 and won, Barca would STILL need madrid to lose or draw in their last few games. But watching 20 year old Tello and Alves as wingers in a crappy 3-4-3 system was just heartbreaking. There was some rumour that Pep was using this as a training match to see whether Thiago should start over Xavi on Tuesday - but I cant quite believe this. As much as i agree that against bus parking teams, Xavi slows the game too much, Pep values Xavi's vision and control too highly to swap him out for Thiago.

The only way I'd still be satisfied with Barca's season is if they win the Cup final, and take revenge on madrid in champions league final.
