Fair result in the end. Madrid better in the first half, Barca with a pretty decent spell in the second after going ahead.

Neymar is a woeful finisher and he's cost them today.
When he opened the space in the 1v1 vs Carvajal, his ego took over and he just thought about smashing the ball.
Of course it just had to be Ramos...
How can you not score there? Just a little composure and it's game over. He did the hard work and then just messed it all up.
How does Ramos do it in almost every big game? Biggest winner of his era.
Has Neymar stagnated a bit?
Very strange game. We were in control, then suarez scores out of nowhere and from there they took over and absolutely toyed with us. Missed their chances to kill the game off, and then Sergio Providence Ramos strikes 
Also, Iniesta is magic. There's one player who actually was overshadowed by the teams he played in. Had he played for madrid, we might well be speaking of him in the same breath as zidane, or at least very close to it.

He has 13 assists this season. Just think both him and Suarez have kind of lost their form though and they can't keep relying on Messi to bail them out every match.
You can not mark Ramos, the man, the myth, the legend. I do not blame him for not trying, it would of been futile anyway. For Ramos is a God and you can not mark a God.Mascherano marking Ramos
Was barca's best player on offense
Agreed on Iniesta. Wonderful player.Very strange game. We were in control, then suarez scores out of nowhere and from there they took over and absolutely toyed with us. Missed their chances to kill the game off, and then Sergio Providence Ramos strikes

I know, Neymar is fecking silly. He was probably thinking of a stupid celebration before focusing on finishing.
I believe Zizou is at 30 concecutive games without loss. He is such a king.
However, if Benze was not a frenchmen... Just like a gato, he got 9 lives. Surely he should be put aside now.

Seriously, as a CB he's a liability half the time, but you know he's gonna make a difference in the big games at the other hand so you forgive him
Real’s last 33 matches in all comps.

Benzema was french for a long time before Zizou took over, although I agree he's been very bad this season. Unfortunately for Real and fortunately for him, Morata got injured as he was getting some good form.I believe Zizou is at 30 concecutive games without loss. He is such a king.

You either don't remember zidane, or you've never seen him play.
Ramos has scored 75 goals for club and country. That’s impressive.

Already think he's been a better player than Zidane.
Lots of people here who don't remember Zidane. Zidane was Iniesta AND Xavi mixed into one
Yeah, and I don't think he's ever really been overshadowed by either Messi or Xavi. Arguably, he's stood even taller than all of them at the big moments with his world cup final goal, man of the match performances in CL finals and European Cup finals.
The Zidane I remember, was actually like neither of them.
He wasn't overshadowed by Messi and Xavi. Because he played with them, he never had to do as much as Zidane, even though he might have been able to
So you don't remember Zidane
Are you really positive you remember him?
Doesn't sound like you remember him all that accurately.
Yep. Watched pretty much every game he's played for club since his move to juventus and every game he's played for France at WC/euros
And it was a broad comparison, in the sense that zidane combined xavi's ability to control and run games with iniesta's ability to rip defences to shreds

I have a feeling this has happened before, I'm sure he got a booking as well.
I'm fairly confident I've watched him during his entire career.
Wow, he was nothing like them. Specially nothing like Xavi at all.
Also don't get all the criticism on neymar. yeah he missed a sitter, but he created that chance himself and was by far barcelon's most dangerous player
But somehow not as good as either of them.
So 33 games unbeaten?
Broad comparison. If you want to get specific, he was more similar to pirlo, but playing 20-30 meters higher up on the pitch and with a far better ability to rip defences open in the final third, and a greater goalscoring threat
