Barcelona Humiliate Ronaldo’s Real Madrid

Barcelona Humiliate Ronaldos Real Madrid

Barcelona handed Real Madrid their first competitive loss of the season with a superb display. Outstanding performances from Lionel Messi and Xavi enabled Barcelona to trash Real Madrid by 5 goals. The final 5-0 score did not even flatter Barcelona, who played in a whole different class compared to the sluggish Real Madrid.

Xavi got Barcelona off to a great start by luckily finishing of a laser pass from Lionel Messi. A few minutes later, David Villa easily maneuvered around Sergio Ramos before playing a grounded cross to Pedro who made no mistake from a few meters out. Barcelona was cruising with a deserved two goal lead not even 20 minutes into the match!

The Real Madrid players were clearly frustrated and dazzled by the brilliance of the Barcelona on this day. Minutes into the second half, David Villa bagged his first goal. It did not take long for him to get his second after a legendary pass from Lionel Messi.

The debacle came to an end for Real Madrid a few minutes from time when the youngster, Jeffren, bagged the fifth goal of the match.

An ugly scene at the end of the match saw the disappointing Sergio Ramos receive his marching orders. With the victor, Barcelona has overtaken first place in La Liga with a two point cushion.

Ronaldo: Madrid Better than Barcelona

Cristiano Ronaldo and Real Madrid are confident in getting a result against the Catalan giants.

Ronaldo told reporters, “Barcelona is still a very difficult team. Barca is a very strong team, especially when they play at home. They are there to fight for the league title. We know they are playing at a good level and for this reason it will be an important and beautiful game. May the best team win. And the best team will be Madrid. We have one point more, we are playing away but we are going with the intention of getting a result. It is not a final because there are still many matches left.”

Cristiano also described the different playing styles of the two teams. “The two teams are very good, they are very close but with a distinct playing style. Barca use more ‘tiqui-taca’, we play more with the goal of going as far as possible as quickly as possible.”

Cristiano Ronaldo is hoping the more direct approach of Real Madrid will successfully counter the slow possession build up play from Barcelona.
