With the Spanish giants locking horns with each other over the weekend, there were a lot of expectations attached with the Spanish youngster and he was able to live up to them.
The Spaniard performed phenomenally against Los Blancos and even though he could not get his name on the scoring sheet, he was considered to be one of the best players on the field.
As Barcelona played against Real Madrid over the weekend, Los Blancos had the chance to cut the gap short between them and the league leaders.
However, the 2-2 draw between the two teams did not allow the Whites to take advantage of the situation and now http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 are comfortably sitting eight points above their arch-rivals.
The first goal of the game was scored by Madrid as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pepe-c29670 and getting
his name on the score sheet.
The Argentinean skipper then scored from a free-kick as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Iker-Casillas-c16815 was left stunned and Barcelona took the lead. It was Ronaldo’s turn to shine and soon a pass from Mesut Ozil found the Portuguese star and he made no mistake in the one-on-one situation.
After the game, Pedro spoke about the fixture against Real Madrid and said that it was a chance for them to take an eleven-point lead but they should be happy with their performance.
The Spaniard said:
“It was a good opportunity to put us in front and get the win so it was a shame to miss it, but we can’t do anything about it now.”
“However, we always trusted ourselves to come back. It was difficult to create chances but we always had the ball.”
“We were just the same as always and are happy that the gap between ourselves and Madrid is the same, so we must continue as we are.”
Barcelona are now eight points clear of Real Madrid at the top of La Liga.
