FCB 2-1 RMA .
Ancelotti needs to step up his game, ASAP. Taking off Ramos is a big no-no.

It wasn't Ancelotti's fault, it was the referee's fault who doesn't call two penalties.

Man, if  Madrid players are going to act like bitches from the beginning, they ain't getting no penalties. You saw how they started raging from the 10th minute onward. Neymar got elbowed to the face, and tripped in the box, nothing happened, Messi got tripped a few times aswell, nothing happened...

Boring Clasico if you ask me. We were unlucky not to win this or at least tie which I felt we really deserved especially after having at least a penalty not called and Benzema's chance. Not to add Neymar's goal was pretty ridiculous and lucky. At least hell didn't break lose and we didn't see any fights.

It's not so easy calling a penalty, unfortunately. It was a penalty I'll give you that, but it's hard calling one when it's against the team that is the host.

While Neymar's goal may have been lucky, this was a beautifully struck one:

Please, you were awarded with the majority of what you deserved.

I can see that the first penalty couldn't have been called since the referee was not that close and the player was on the ground when he hit the ball with his hand, but Ronaldo getting pushed in the penalty area with the other player not even touching the ball was more than a clear penalty.

I don't know why Lopez was so far out.

I don't know why Lopez was so far out.

I guess he was preparing to get in Sanchez's way and try to block any potential shot, but backed off when he slowed down.

In all honesty, Barcelona controlled the game from the start so its not like Madrid were rampant all game.

From which point of view are you implying that? From the fact that they had more ball possession?

Actually it was 55 to 45 so that's not it.

Considering Barcelona had more, that could be it. :poke:

They were better in every department. Yes, they did have more possession, but they also had more shots, and more completed passes and were far more in Madrid's end than vice-versa.
