What was the most expected game of the Primera Division happened yesterday. The duel between Barcelona and Real Madrid promised a spectacle. But like in football with a round ball in the centre of action, the end of the game turned into a draw, a 1-1 score and with the 49th goal of the season for Messi who breaks another record.
Guardiola: “I think it’s a good result, considering we played with a great team. We are satisfied. Anything could happen in this game. We could lose. We have eight points more and a better goal difference, with six stages before the final.”
Murinho: “All my men did a good job. We moved our lines further back tonight in order to play a more straightforward game. Adebayor provided the speed and depth in counterattack we needed. We managed to draw and nearly won the match thanks to hard work and the support of a fantastic crowd. We must accept the draw given the circumstances that arose in the game.”
Barcelona’s players were unhappy of the conditions on Bernabeu:
“The field was good, but the grass was too big, too high. But at home they can do what they want.” Puyol said.
The first from the 4 matches ended. Three more are to come, stay tuned.
