El Clásico!

What a match - One that will go down in history between bitter rivals FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. Barcelona's brilliant performance on Monday was absolutely mesmerizing, to the point that I literally had my jaw dropped by the 90th+ minute. Vamanos Blaugranas! 5-0 in favour of Barca.

Not only is the result so astonishing, but the fact that Real Madrid's perfect winning streak during la liga was finally broken, and Barcelona took over the leader-board as headed by Barca's great coach, Pep Guardiola. In my opinion, Guardiola has done so much in his young career, he has the potential to be the greatest coach Barca has ever had. Much better than Real Madrid's Jose Mourinho.

However, as always, there was some great controversy to be handled during the match in Camp Nou. First of all, when Cristiano Ronaldo (aka; the greatest poser to have ever lived, over hyped, and one who has no respect for the beautiful game) had the audacity to push Pep Guradiola, in order to get the ball for a throw in. Second of all, when Sergio Ramos deliberately tackled Lionel Messi, and later on continued to shove fellow national team mate captain Carles Puyol in the face to finally get a red card. (Not to mention he got a red card from his previous match along with Xabi Alonso). All I can say is that Real Madrid played a very dirty game, while Barcelona's performance was simply breathtaking (Over 600 passes made!).

.. Yes, this is biased. So what?

Here are some of the highlights of the game (I recommend for any avid fan to watch the entire match):



Barça, Barça, Barça !
