Great team display tonight, though i believe Pinto is responsible for conceided goal. Great performance by Busquets, Abidal and Puyol. Iniesta wasn't really in form today. But at the end of the day result counts.
As for Madrid, they surprise me every time again and again. Their brutal aproach to the game has to be dealt with and Spanish FA should really think about consequences for Pepe's behavour, regardless what Mourinho and Perez will say for his defense. Maybe the only bright point in Madrid's team is Ronaldo. You can say whatever you want, but while he was in defense his intention was winning the ball not breaking opponents legs.
Absolutely disgusted by what I saw tonight. RM are nothing but a bunch of thugs. If I were a Madrid fan I would be hanging my head in shame.
The Irish guy commentating for Sky Sports – his name has went out my head – kept defending the Real players. He has a real dislike for Busquets. He was having a go at him all night. He tried to say that Pepe standing on Messi's hand was accidental. He had a little laugh at that and laughed again when Coentrao grabbed Messi's head. I think he said something like when you're that good you frustrate people. Ah so it's Messi's fault for being the best footballer in the world. That's a new one. An absolutely shameful performance from RM. That club need to get Pepe help before he kills someone.
Gerry Armstrong. I hate that pro Madrid Fcuker!!! Skysports should sack the Cu*t!!
Pepe can be the next WWE Cruiser weight champion…at what he is really good at
anybody know the possession stats?
bout 70 might even be 73% for barca
Carles Tarzan Puyol….our captain…getting old but bold and rock solid….reminded me of his goal against Germany in WC 2010 !!
I hate to pile on, but Carvalho's hack at Messi's knee in slow-mo gave me a heart attack. I was honestly looking out for the next ACL injury once we scored the go ahead goal.
¡Porqué?!
visca el barça!!!
Could have been career ending. I'm a sports physician, this type of tackle tears the lateral meniscus and ACL. Messi should get an MR after that to evaluate the knee.
That's even more sobering dude. At best, these Classico antics will likely take years off of Messi's and the rest of the teams precious menisci and ligaments. SMH
¡Porqué?!
I'd be ashamed if Pepe was my kid.
“Mès que un club” We are FC BARCELONA,we’re more than a club,we personify good football..Welldone lads,welldone Pep..VIVA BARCA!!
I was at work and didn't see the game. Torrent anyone!! Of course, with Ray Hudson!!

yeah…that
1 thing for sure,we can beat madrid whether in bernabau or camp nou,even we lose La Liga this year.
Pity to Perez,trust Mourinho’s bring a bunch of wrestling players who failed to join WWE to Madrid.
It’s destroy your club moral n value,n somethin need to done b4 it gets hurt n hate,like PK(Pique) said.
any Spain supporters here think Del bosque should bench alonso and play fabregas ?
Messi is simply the best.
LMAO!!!omg I’m so proud of Barca dominated the game and our 2 defenders scored!!:) I believ we can beat them in any stadium what a great Birthday perzzie 2 Pep
I’m so proud of Barca but I’m seriously sick of the way madrid treat us!!Pepe needs 2 back off Rooney himself also twetted something about him in favour of us…and I really don’t like that Irish comentator!!
Visca Barca!!
pepe carjo la mierda !
We are even lucky Di Maria did not play. He would have taken diving and cheating to a higher level.
I don't think that's possible
All of madrid player wer evil exept kaka,fuck them all.
All this talk of Pepe.. but it's nothing new! .. he just snaps and loses it, he shouldn't be playing football at any level. Remember the highlights a few years ago of him kicking someone over and over after the ball is long gone? …He's a repeat offender and has no business being on the pitch anywhere.
When will this end? Each time we tie the game or go ahead Madrid feels defeated as they should and as Ray Hudson would say the knives comes out
