The team showed what everybody knew: there's still a lot of pre-season to do before the machine is set. Players like Iniesta, Xavi, Busquets, Pique, Alves and Messi aren't fit at all, and some injured too.
With that in mind, I thought today we would loose by 2 or 3, so taking a draw at the Bernabeu it's an impressive result. The gap between the teams may have closed a little, but the feeling I had is that when Barcleona gets fit, we're still far superior.
Today they deserved more, of course, but we had players playing thweir first minutes in weeks, so it's great to pose a threat and show we can be deadly. We played the worse match in a year and didn't lose to our fiercest rival. I like that.
Alexis showed very interesting things. When everyone is fit he can destroy rivals on the wings, something we were missing a lot.
By the way, the aggression of Madrid players was, again, on the verge of violence. That kung-fu kick of Khedira could have literally destroyed Abidal's face. I don't understand how that wasn't a yellow. And how pepe ended the match without a yellow, too. Marcelo did 2 aggressions without the ball, as usual. And the most pathetic thing (again) was seeing Mourinho moan for EVERYTHING, reasonable or not. I'm sorry to say that I had never found someone so pathetic in this regard in all my life. You just CAN'T moan for Abidal being in the floor when one of your players almost destroys his face and go unpunished. This man has lost any connection with reality.
