I witnessed this beatdown last night. Who else from here went?
I real glad Barca get licks. It's good when big team is reminded that they can't play slack and still win.
The fans were kinda stupid. They booed Chivas when their bench players emerged from the tunnel, and they booed whenever a Barca player got hit, whether it was a foul or not.
Chivas had the first good chance, Barca cleared off the line. Then Xavi took over.
The man played his game, probing, keeping possession. Barca really played some nice ball.
What you might not see in the highlights for Villa's goal is that Barca maintained possession for a few minutes before that, going forward and then coming back if there was no room. The short passes had Chivas on edge, then the ball went back to Pique and he hit a perfect long ball over the top. Sweet goal.
The crowd started chanting "Barca!, Barca!" and the majority Barca crowd were enjoying themselves.
Barca created several more chances including a Villa lob that hit the top of the crossbar. Xavi had a couple shots and Barca looked like they could score again. But then they took their foot off the gas and ended the half with 1 goal and 68% possession.
In the 2nd half a lot of changes were made and a setta children came on for Barca.
Chivas came out of their shell and started to take risks, making more runs and supporting the strikers.
Their 1st goal was a beauty, that shot had Pinto bewildered. It swerved late into the top corner.
The 2nd one is goal of the year. Make sure allyuh see it. Perfectly executed aerial volley. That one knocked the wind out of Barca. This was from the same man who scored the 1st.
At this point they only had a few starters on the pitch and they just were not able to mount a comeback.
They kept going down the left to this blonde fella who was pullin stones. Iniesta was running around but without good support he couldn't do much.
Chivas' third goal the man actually miskick in front of goal but got a 2nd chance to slot it in.
The crowd then started chanting "Chivas! Chivas!" and the few Chivas fans were in heaven.
The 4th I think it was offside. It looked like there was only 1 defender between the scorer and the goal when the ball was played to him.
Good win for Chivas and I guess Pep got to see some of his B squad in action.
I was vex they didn't play Sanchez or Affelay.
