a nice game.nonetheless
a lot of improvement compare to the match with osasuna

messi was impressive
alba was superb

pique with mixed performance
marcherano was like busquests,with accurate long pass and all

song looks promising,pass to messi for last shot was epic

tello was hopeless.i have no idea why he still play.he is not capable,at all
montoya was ok

i only gripe,we dont attack much in 2nd half.well,thats given as we down to 10 men

Why it must be Tello why? He always rush things, always go for himself. Maybe Tito asked him to but..

indeed
i cant believe,how tello able to play with other barca players
he's like..didnt fit in
bad way of playing
bad finishing

A very2 bad performance from Barca this time. Players are not to b blamed. It is the tactical approach which is very2 bad. Play too wide, causing the defense easily exposed to attack (looks like they don't know to defense at all). Very straightforward attacking style, which will cause players tiredness and performance. Opponent can easily work the ball into defensive area. Even the defensive Khedira can dribble the ball towards the defensive area. Mash n Pique also attempt to dribble the ball rather than making a simple pass, like they are the attacking player. The whole team looks selfish rather than a playing as a team. They can't even managed to playmake the ball while attacking. This will badly effect Barca performance throughout the season, unless changes and improvements being made. The tactical approach that must b improved.... A LOT!!! There is nothing to enjoy throughout the whole 90mnts of play. What a sleepy game to watch.

Gues better offload him n make affellay stay. There is one pass from xavi to pedro, a very identical pass from masch to affelay in preseason match, n he finished it superbly.. but against casillas, it is always tough to beat him, as compared to our keeper.. valves is good, but myb becoz he not hvg that many critical situation, his instict become dull n overconfident. In this match he save a lot for us n i thank him for that.

what a cracking goal from Messi. but damn, didn't win the game.

can't really blame the lads, true if vv doesn't do the mistake that costs us the 2nd goal in the first leg, we have better chances to win this.

but vv had been superb last night, if not we are for sure conceded more than 2 goals. down to 10 men, 2 goals down in first 20 minutes, reality is it is hard to pull it off in one of the toughest stadium.

Honestly i think it is a deserve win for madrid as the counter us effectively.. th red card was very early but also thanks to dat our play suddenly become much better..

I really hope we dont really depend on messi in scoring, we ned our other strikers to perform too. Pedro is very good, tello this kid really ned more experience, sanchez he is great but plez stop diving all d tym, villa i hope he wil be fit soon.. affelay if he stayed, hop he shows his best..

Ever since tito take over, i v seen messi played a bit deep in d midfield rather than stormin in front of d goal as usual, also i wonder what happen to our possesion play n tiki taka? We also throw alot of lobg passes instead of one touch short passes, and defenders, this department is crucially need to do something, without puyol n alves, our defenses really not convincing.

Tito try turn barca to barcelona b?with dis kind of tactical..halamak....come on,pull out tello from this high profile match like againts madrid..he is not fit into the team!everyone saw it!first time i think busquet have been sub.but alex song do a good work..tito,u have a lot work to do..i start to miss pep..huargh!congrats madrid,u deserved the supercopa.nasib2 je bara x kene 2,3 bijik lagi..

i agree with the tello part. why tello when we have el guaje on the bench? and pedro is really doing well last night.

and alexis is not that good either. looking forward for MVP again. Messi-Villa-Pedro trio.

lastly, our defence suck big time. even khedira can dribble past em....

Valdez mistake in first leg and defensive weakness in second leg costed us the King's Cup. Tito, please buy central defender. Tello should be limited to smaller games until he improves a lot. Meanwhile, please use other players who are more experienced in the flanks - Alexis, Pedro, Villa, Affellay

tello (TELUR) = is a NO NO

rmb how tello play vs real madrid lastime?

really teruk loh..

and he's a selfish player too... always gelek seeeekkorr.. -.-

seriously, it puzzles me too, to see tello is handed a big game, preferred more than pedro like on last classico in league.

well it might be tito's choice, but I do prefer villa to start more. alexis is decent, but not as formidable as villa-messi-pedro combo.

I know villa is on the wrong side of 30s, just coming back from serious injury but he still got much to offer

tito should sub pedro to villa instead of tello

the result of uefa group jz came out..
barcelona, benfica, spartak, moscow....seem nt bad to me...

Iniesta won UEFA Best Player!

source?...waoh...finally iniesta win

he deserves the recognition, finally he wins.
