Rough outing for los Blancos.
They were set up to draw this match and go for blood at Camp Nou....or sneak a goal against the tide, then bunker down at Camp Nou... The red card made those plans alot more difficult to acheive, and Messi took advantage of some tired legs with some sheer brilliance... I thought the red was harsh, but that might be bias... I also thought that with Barca being as wounded as they were with injuries that Madrid would be a bit more adventurous going foward....
Very curious to see how Mourinho intends to score 2wice at Camp Nou without conceding. Funny thing is Madrid has the fire power to do it, but somehow it seems impossible- it's seems counter to the mindset when they play against Barca... How do they maintain possession, attack and create chances against Barca without conceding? That's the million dollar question.
Very steep hill to climb at Camp Nou.... until next week....
