El Clasico

yeah but you used to :clap: :clap: and generally blow the load over barca the whole time on here unless I’m mistaken. Now you’ve decided they’re getting too much love and you don’t like them anymore. I’m afraid that’s the behaviour of a cardigan-wearing, frequenter of the Bernard Shaw, big man.

No doubt there are Bando, but there is no doubt who is more supported. Barca are probably the biggest supported sports team in the world, not to mind soccer team.

Here you go Rocko Zonal Marking

And then they got rid of Zlatan. Hence I despise them.

Zonal Marking is a really class site in my opinion.

Analysis itself and the diagrams too.

For example:

Showing the way teams on the continent don’t play in flat lines from midfield onwards anymore; e.g. Ronaldo playing more advanced on the left than Di Mario on the right.

They’re the little things that a geek like me loves reading about.

Its an excellent site alright.

Higuain hasn’t made it.

Barcelona: 4-3-3
Valdes,
Dani Alves, Pique, Puyol, Abidal,
Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta,
Pedro, Messi, Villa.

Real Madrid: 4-2-3-1
Casillas,
Sergio Ramos, Carvalho, Pepe, Marcelo,
Khedira, Xabi Alonso,
Di Maria, Ozil, Ronaldo,
Benzema.

I really don’t see Barca winning this tonight.

He wasn’t good enough mate. Truth hurts sometimes. :wink:

Nice early mention for the peerless Zlatan.

Early days but Barca seem prepared to play it behind Pepe from deep enough. He can get caught out sometimes.

Outrageous chipped effort from Messi hits the post…

1-0 Barca, Xavi. It was coming.

Fortunate rebound for Xavi but very quick reactions to prod that home so controlled.

Madrid haven’t any sort of hold in midfield at all so far.

We are giving the fascist filth a lesson here.

Great move by Barca in the build up to that goal but Casillas has a howler.

That was magnificent football and a wonderful pass from Xavi to shift the play. Not great defending from Madrid. Marcelo got caught wrongside but there were men in the centre who watched the cross instead of dealing with it.

THIS IS A LESSON! :clap:

Best team ever to play the game.

This is superb. Are you sure that ball bounced off Xavi rocko rather than him flicking it up for himself?

I’m not one for hyperbole but this is absolutely magnificent football from Barca. The interpassing around midfield is sensational.
