Atletico has lost enough points to make the title race wide open again. So this match will be HUGE.

(well, not really of course, it will look even more of a joke than other corona games in front of empty stands, because this is supposed to be El Clásico but there's zero atmosphere... but maybe I'll watch it nevertheless)

So what do you suggest then Andy, totally stop football till corona is gone? What if it remains for a few more years? Or let in fans and may the strong survive?

I'm not saying they shouldn't play, I'm just saying I can't be arsed to watch those zero-atmosphere games.

 

[Nerazzurri4life]

Yet you started a thread about a match you aren't arsed about, and will watch a match you aren't arsed about.

 

[Andy Christ]

I never miss El Clasico.

Bookies see Barca as a clear fav in this.

 

[Andy Christ]

Benzema opens the score with a cheeky backheel.

 

[Andy Christ]

2-0 Kroos from FK

RM's third is inches away as Valverde hits the post.

 

[Andy Christ]

Story of the 1st half so far: Barca controlling the ball, Real sitting back and defending well and hitting with sharp counters.

 

[Andy Christ]

Dembele is bloody useless.

 

[Andy Christ]

Young Tom Cruise comes in for injured Vasquez.

(his real name is Gorgonzola or something)

 

[Andy Christ]

Messi almost scores straight from corner kick but it hits the post.

 

[Andy Christ]

Fun first half.

Barca might escape with a 4-0 trashing if they're lucky.

 

[Andy Christ]

Barca get a soft goal back.

 

[Andy Christ]

they've been playing in torrential rain since the middle of the 1st half

 

[Andy Christ]

uhhh.... Barca hits the bar in the final minute

FT 2-1

 

[Nerazzurri4life]

Was a decent, competitive match. I think Barca deserved something, a point.

Vinicius dived for the Kroos fk goal and looked like a penalty against Mendy for grabbing Braithwaite so Real were fortunate.

Would have been a nice story had the new Barca guy Moriba scored in the end.

Hala Madrid y nada mas!

We were missing Ramos, Varane, Hazard and Carvajal and still won. That's four world class players out and beat those clowns again.

And my man Luka telling that clown pique what the deal is...love it.
