a draw, fair enough, both teams deserve to win. superb free kick by messi again.

as usual in Clasico we can see Catalan is not Spain banner, this time is more serious by waving the Catalan flags at 17:14 minute

Lost track of how many mistakes Valdes has committed in the various Classicos, beaten at near post again this morning.

Barca really need a better keeper.

well, a fair result though we could really snatch a win right to the end of the game. if only montoya and pedro's shot goes in, lol

coming against real madrid with no starter def (alves-puyol-pique-abidal), we are quite solid. on a side note, what's going on with alves these day, it seems like he's been underperforming for quite some weeks now

Dani is out for 3 weeks now.. He's been complacent, i hope, because of the previously non-existent competition in RB.. Not after last night tho.. I think Montoya actually closed down christina better than dani did.. And like u said, so nearly scored all 3 points for us.. Dani should, (after a monopoly of the RB position for 4/5 seasons??) start worrying.. I hope tito plays him more, so dani does not take his place in the team for granted.. After the many games i've seen him played, i've never seen montoya this promising, and it was el classico!!

Other thing that irked me is villa not even getting a chance to play some minutes, he's scored quite a few against casillas, and could have well done it again, at least at a better chance than alexis... I want MVP!!! lol

Well Pique is almost back, with him and Masch at the back, i recall this combo being pretty shaky, but still not as porous as Masch/Song.. I guess its somewhat a stabilising factor at the back, and if we do not drop more than 3 points till new year, we will win the league.. March/April is always the time when we hit our full strides.. Come UCL, bring it on.....

for me montoya has been good since last el clasico(super cup)
agreed. villa should be given chance. maybe drop out pedro for villa.

Nice game yesterday...

I thought Barcelona were much better under Pep Guardiola. Sometimes sacking manager is not the best option.

I can understand losing championship to rival Real Madrid but still getting rid of Guardiola is a bit too harsh...

Really hope Guardiola will become United manager in the future.

Err sacking manager? get rid of guardiola?
fyi, pep never been sacked. he leave because he want too.
barca fans,player love pep. there is no reason to sacked him.

well montoya prove his worth, i don't know if it's coincidence or anything but the team settles down once dani is subbed out, montoya is not bad himself, handling pk7 with no fear, and knows when to go forward.

yeah, i don't know what tito thinks of villa, but a third sub is not a bad option either, maybe tito wanna settle for a draw , what alexis doing anyway, caught a few offside, then? villa is not that old, given his record this season, i will start him anytime.

well we should be worrying more on the better side of madrid who has equal points with us, falcao iinm is only a goal less than messi and pk7. not saying draw is good enough, but I would kill to have 8 points lead after 7 matches. liga is us to lose, hope to see some consistency for away match, and bartra and montoya given some chance once the schedule is packed.

No la, guardiola want to take a break n wana rest. Thats why he leave.. no one sacked him.

Managing man utd always be a dream for most top manager, eveb mauriho wanted to manage man utd, but the question is when wil saf retired?

Hi there.

No Pep didn't get the boot.
He wanted to take a sabbatical.
You should've seen how he has aged in the course of 4 years.
Poor man.

The only club I wouldn't mind seeing him coaching is Man U.
But don't expect him to be like SAF, spending so long there.
He can't even last longer than 4 years at his club Barca.
He is too serious about his job.

The buck stops there.
