The world’s best footballers cancelled each other out and it was a 2-2 stalemate between the bitter rivals, Barcelona and Real Madrid, at Camp Nou.
Last night’s Clasico lived up to its reputation of being considered the best encounter in the world of football. There was intrigue, drama and excitement throughout the game and nothing could separate http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296. Both players stole
the lime light after they scored two goals each and as a result of that, they shared the spoils of the match.
Ronaldo stepped into the game with the feat of scoring five goals in the last five Clasico’s and as usual he was in search of his sixth one in order to become the only player in history to score six consecutive goals in six El Clasico matches.
Barcelona started the match slow and it was Real who created chances in the early stages of the game. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Karim-Benzema-c20350 slipped the ball to him and he found the back of the net after shooting the ball past victor
Valdes.
Six minutes later, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pedro-c29582 was misjudged by the Portuguese defender, Messi ran inside the eighteen yard box and instinctively capitalized
on the blunder as he fired the ball into the back of the net.
Real found themselves behind as Messi converted a well crafted free kick less than 30 minutes to go. Not to be outdone, Ronaldo got his second of the night, keeping Real level with Barcelona.
Overall, it was a balanced match and Real coach Mourinho thought the outcome of the match was a fair one.
“My opinion is that the result was right when you look at the match,” he told reporters. “It was a good game that was played right up until the last minute.”
When asked about who was the best player in the world, Mourinho belittled this notion. “It should be forbidden to talk about who the best in the world is,” he said. “They are both fantastic.”
After last night’s Clasico Barca are still on top of the table and are eight points ahead of their bitter rivals, Real Madrid.
