Whilst Madrid played well, are we really going to react in a way that portrays Madrid being too good for them? I mean, on the night they were, but can you honestly say a decent Barcelona side turned up? Barcelona were poor. Even Xanth on Skype was complaining about how there was simply no movement up front, and he's not even a passionate football fan.
Messi was isolated and crowded, and he requires his team mates to create space around him. Xavi was poor, every defender was poor (maybe not Alves), Sergio was poor, Messi was poor, everyone around him was poor (apart from Iniesta, obviously). Where as Real Madrid were great. Their game plan was executed to perfection, but it was against a lacklustre Barcelona side who deeply miss their manager. They are so one dimensional at the moment and when quality teams with quality players turn up and are ORGANISED, they lose.
This hasn't changed my opinion of Real Madrid at all. They are the best counter-attacking side in the world, and we know that.
