La Liga 2018/19

Both teams look like a shell of what they once were

 

Barca just missed a sitter

Aye, Alba should never have been booked, done nothing and was only pushed by Carvajal nothing in it but if anything just a booking to Carvajal.

 

Without question..

Quite sad actually..

Decent game but this used to be a fixture everyone watched with pace and unreal quality..

There looks a lack of quality in this game/these side's..

 

Refs give some decisions to Barca.

Stonewall foul by Alba and he plays on.

 

Courtois playing well.

 

Madrid sitting too deep and Barca really pulling the strings now..

 

That Vinicius makes Ryan Kent look world class.

 

I must admit I enjoyed it. It’s still levels above pretty much every other teams in the world bar 3/4 max, Liverpool, City and Bayern I’m thinking.

Still the best in the world at quick zippy passes these teams. There’s maybe a lack of penetration but it’s still lovely to watch.

 

Aye the quick passing is brilliant at times.

 

Graham Hunter bummig him up as well, saying Zidane is personally mentoring him and telling him when to pass, when to shoot, how to play.

Looks a sand dancer to me who can't really hit a shot or cross, poor mans Robinho.

 

Barca probably should have scored that half, had some good scorable chances, though they controlled things well also and are passing it really well. Busquets, De Jong and Athur are tidy as * but they are all one paced and not goalscorers or even creators, waiting really for Messi to unlock the door.

Real look dangerous and are being more direct passing and running in behind and trying to deliver crosses, not really created a good chance though but half chances.

Quite enjoying it, it is a bit open, Barca are getting space in behind their midfield and Real are countering and causing Barca to panic a bit and rush all over the place to get back.

 

Was a bit bored watching that first half tbh.

 

We all have been wondering the same thing. There's a palpable gulf in class compared to a clinical finisher like Suarez in matches of this caliber, sadly. I think Griezmann is a great player but the greats step up in moments like these

A lot of positives (Arthur, Busi & FDJ for sure) but uncharacteristically cautious from both sides for a Clasico

 

Refs mental, im sure one of the bookings in the first half was for one like that yet thats no. Inconsistent as *.

 

Some strike from Isco there, good save as well.

 

Missed first half, any good?

 

What a fkn save, that guys something else.
