Zidane: Madrid not clever enough

Adjust Comment Print

Messi managed to snatch victory, in what appeared to be a certain draw, away from Barcelona's bitter rivals Real Madrid in a hotly contested El Clasico.

Lionel Messi produced another outrageous performance as Barcelona beat Real Madrid to move top of La Liga, scoring his 500th goal for the club in stoppage time to seal a 3-2 win.

TV images also showed that a frustrated Ronaldo felt Marcelo or another Madrid player should have done whatever was necessary to stop Barca from mounting a counter-attack so late in the game. Alba cut the ball back and there, on the edge of the area, was Messi: he had scored earlier in the night and he had been kicked, many times, and elbowed (by Marcelo) in a clash that left him bleeding from his nose and mouth.

Madrid now need to take at least 16 points from their final six La Liga games to be guaranteed the title.

If I make a foul, they don't score the goal.

The Brazilian forward was replaced by Paco Alcácer in Barcelona's starting line-up against Real Madrid after he was handed a two-match suspension for sarcastically applauding a match official during Barcelona's recent 2-0 defeat to Malaga.

The decision to do a complete 180, after all the time spent developing a futuristic Call of Duty , is an interesting one. The ad shows the same November 3rd release date that's been revealed by the leaked promotional material from last week.

However, he is still just 24 and on this evidence can go onto become one of the best 'keepers in the world.

"[Messi] makes the difference in his team".

Real Madrid and Barcelona put on a classic that saw the latter come out 3-2 winners thanks to a last-gasp Lionel Messi victor. Sergio Ramos got booted from the field with a red card after the ref saw his nasty tackle of Lionel. We are very happy because it was not easy after being knocked out [of the Champions League] the other day. I've said it so many times - Ronaldo helped Messi to be better, and Messi helps Ronaldo to be better.

"I'm not going to blame my players. We're well placed in two competitions and we'll keep working as we were before".

Meanwhile, Zidane made a substitution and gave James Rodriguez a chance to prove his importance for the team.
