European and La Liga champions Barcelona have the advantage of two away goals after holding arch-rivals Real Madrid to a 2-2 draw in the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup on Sunday.
King's Cup holders Real started stronger and Mesut Ozil put the hosts in front after only 13 minutes stoking a vibrant atmosphere at the Bernabeu.
I wonder why pepe was put back as a defender, he played much better as a midfielder, he and marcelo should watch themselves 2 avoid being sent out, overall an intersting match 2 watch.
Real Madrid dominated the match. I am surprised Barcelona scored twice, Villa's goal was amazing.
Although I'm a Barca fan, I thought Madrid was taking this one, I didn't see any of Barca's player playing their best, although Villa's goal was amazing. Alexis Sanchez's debut was very good, he's very fast and with time he seems like he could learn to play very well alongside messi. I enjoyed watching Ronaldo beat himself over not scoring....and people think he is better than Messi??? LOL
Shouldn't article read: Real holds Barca since Barca are the defending champs?
Barca had 2 chances and got 2 brilliant goals, minus that and they did nothing. Madrid outplayed them; easily had more control, tempo and percentage of the ball. The referee also made some incorrect decisions plus Alves was on the floor 90% of the time.
Overall Madrid was the better time in every way and Barca looked weak. Real are strong competitors for everything this year and could possibly be the best team in the world at the end of it.
