... the ref didn't send anyone from the other team off(!)
:P
Anyway, I watched the match, and Barcelona were OK, but they lacked creativity up front. A player like Afellay can easily outplay a couple of defenders, and so can Messi(obviously), but Afellay hardly even tries cause he seems too affraid to make a mistake, so he rather plays it safe to a teammate.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of Afellay and I've seen him play for years in the Eredivisie, but he should throw of his shackles and start doing his thing.
Real Sociedad had a good 2nd half, especially after their equalizer, and they had the guts to play football and go for it.
Let's hope Madrid shows some guts as well in the 2nd leg, so we might see a great game this week.
surprising afternoon in LaLiga today....
Real and Barca lost.. Think they gived everything in the last CL macth eachother ;)
I was laughting at Real earlier today, but now I`m quiet;-)
both teams (Real and Barca) have probably taken into all the media attention that has been around the clubs, players, coaches the last few days.
BUT well done Real Sociedad (and Real Zaragoza)
Not much focus on la liga now. However not much of chances for Real in CL.
