Chavi's worse, IMO. Firstly, its a shit pronunciation of the name and secondly, it reminds me of chavs and nobody wants to be reminded of chavs.

Incompetent turds in this Real team.
That's racist.
Not much, he's still an excellent defender. If Barca took possession football to a whole new level in the previous seasons this RM side is playing counter attacking football in a way that can be described as magnificent, at least. I pretty much doubt if there are other teams, besides Bayern Munich and Chelsea right now, that can keep up with such pace on both sides of the pitch and be competitive.
Pique has made many of interceptions and clearances today in order to help his teammates stay up on the pitch. The way RM are playing on the counter and the quality they possess up front can lead any defense into doing mistakes. Imo both defensive lines have been quite good today. It's Barca's midfield that can't press like they used to and this puts their defense under a lot of pressure.
I'd take Modric, Marcello or Varane ttyttGo back to Manchester, Ronaldo!
I think Ronaldo relaxed too much after he scored and got that 9 consecutive games scoring record
Reported. No need mate.
Been very impressed with Modric and Kroos' defensive contributions for the past two games.
Ancelotti really deserve credit for making it work despite not playing a single defensive midfielder.

Ronaldo has been shit today.
I miss those days when we played like Real Madrid - on the counter. Now it's just boring cross, cross, cross football.
Love the co-ordinated movement by Real's players on the break. You can tell they've spent hours on the training ground on those kind of situations.
Carvajal does a lot of pointing at the ball after he's kicked someone.
Modric the best midfielder in the world?
Why do Barça keep this failed style? One missed pass and its a lethal counter attack
They should've just played on the break from 1-0 on

Conversion by Messi
Yeah, that's what I meant. That one for Messi and other one pretty similar for Alves were simple passes which would put them in good positions, but he overhit them for some reason and made them chase the ball. Now Alves just keeps ignoring him because of that.
Messi for the NFL
Messi has had a stinker.
Alonso's been excellent for Bayern this season.
Excellent performance from Real.
Brilliant second half from Madrid. Quick, incisive, ruthless. Barca, slow, pedestrian, predictable. Also a top class coach against a coach who only has the job because he's an ex player.
Petulant from Ronaldo.
"Sometimes you just have to tip your hat … and it'll be sumbrero sized!"

Yep and Real Madrid played like a team and that made all the difference. It wasn't a one man show.
A team from another planet.
Thought it'd be a lot more even than that.
Real Madrid were brilliant, Barcelona were not. They outclassed them, 3-1 flatters Barça if anything.

I honestly think Xavi and Iniesta are below average footballers in big games nowadays. I honestly, 100% believe Barça would've won with Gibson and Cattermole in the center today, just playing on the break with Messi and Neymar.
An Aladdins cave of jewels as well.
Luis Enrique got a real lesson tonight from Ancelotti. Deserved victory by Real. Terrible on the last pass or else Barcelona would get a real trashing tonight.
I have a massive man crush on Kroos.
So composed, so much time on the ball, short passing, long passing, dictating from the middle. We really should have gone in for him.
(Modric was awesome too).

Disappointed with Barcelona tonight. Even when they picked off Real's counter attack or were gifted posession back they just went and plodded up pitch and couldn't create anything, let alone get shots off at Casillas' goal.
Made Real's defence look untouchable.

Scholesy was sacrificed for our unbelief
Don't want to get personal but didn't you guys try something similar against Germany and lose 7-1?
Where's the mugs that were telling me Madrid weren't a better side? 
Also amusing to see my point proven with xavi and iniesta too. Though iniesta did do well, to set up Benzema's goal

Yeah, I heard they are after Sterling … perfect fit!
real madrid, bar a few minutes, was the best team today
surprised they didnt win for more goals, deserved to win for at least four goals margin

A flattering scoreline for Barca. Real shouldn't have gone all that soft on them really.
Barca have been well below par, the attackers are adding nothing to the defending of the team. Don't think they are gonna be winning much this season.
