El Clásico, they say, always delivers on quality and entertainment. Today has been the case.
We have seen a very fun, back-and-forth game with big chances for both sides. Until the goal, it had been Barça who came closest with various chances created on the left side, but Madrid have the quality to bit when you think you’re winning, and that’s what they did.
Balde has been excellent for Barça, and Madrid need to sort out a way to stop him from having such an influence. As well as that, they could do with some more penetration in the Barça box – does Valverde have a twin brother he can call?
Xavi will be happy for the most part, I imagine. Kessié has been superb battling with just about every player in white and Gavi has done his best baby lion impression all game.
Let’s see if there are any more twists and turns in the second half.
