After a quality match, FC Barcelona has offered the Clasico (2-1)! The Blaugrana took the opportunity to outrun the Real Madrid in the standings, now relegated to 4 points
Jérémy Mathieu celebrates the opening goal
We were expecting a great game, and was had! What intensity! From beginning to end. It must be said that this game was bound to become a turning point this season in La Liga. Finding visible from the first seconds of the game enough power.
For Barca, in his usual style, immediately took command of the game, just the time that Real enters the part. Moreover, Merengue gradually gained the upper thanks to an inspired Benzema and Ronaldo motivated by the whistles, which affected the helm of Bravo (12).
The Real deserved better at the break
But those are the Catalans who opened the scoring. Brace yourself … on set-piece! Yes, on a free kick from Messi, Mathieu had just put his head to deceive Casillas (1-0, 19th). Not enough to knock the people of Madrid who continued to press and carry the danger on the cage de Bravo.
And it is logical that Ronaldo equalized after a brilliant backheel Benzema ( 1-1, 32). At this time, we felt the Blaugrana at the edge of the break as Madrid’s opportunities are chained. But too awkward, Bale did not materialize its occasions except its logical goal disallowed for offside Ronaldo. 1-1 at the break, it was paid for Barca.
Barça finished strong
And we set off again on the same appearance after the break! And without a great save by Bravo, Benzema would have given the advantage to Real (49th). Unfortunately for the French and its partners, Barca, embarrassed in the game, relied on a ball that Suarez advantage to punish Merengue (2-1, 56th). Enough to turn the game as the Blaugrana dominated the rest of the game.
Without a good Casillas late in the game, the score would have been more serious in view of Jordi Alba opportunities and Neymar. Whatever, Barca is needed 2-1 and put the Real to 4 points in the standings! Probably a big turning point of the season …
The note of the game: 7.5 / 10
This Clasico has just held its promises. Impossible to be bored or to yawn in front of his TV as the 22 players offered us a nice show full of intensity, pace and quality. Only negative we would have liked to see both teams play well at the same time

The players NOTES:
Maxifoot awarded a note (10) commented to each player
The man of the match. Luis Suarez 7.5 / 10
No, Luis Suarez is not a flop! New evidence with his performance tonight during which he showed everyone why he joined Barca. The reason? To provide this alternative to tiki-taka that does not always hinder the Real. So, Suarez was a poison by his game back to the point, his calls in depth and striker goal! ! BIG striker
FC BARCELONA:
Claudio Bravo (6.5) : Isco, Karim Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo … One after another, they all struggled with the Chilean goalkeeper. In the shadow of the stars, former goalkeeper of Real Sociedad did the job, and beautiful way
Daniel Alves (5) . More discreet than usual. And because the Brazilian often found himself defending in front of Marcelo and Cristiano Ronaldo without the help of Lionel Messi ahead. This is why the right side is more forbidden, for once …
Gerard Piqué (6) : serious match from Mr. Shakira. Except his shots crazy when trying twice a rather unlikely overhead kick, the Spaniard was in his own interventions and its reminders.
Jérémy Mathieu (7) : put in confidence by its purpose, the French played the bosses of the defense of Barca tonight. He stepped up action in the air and on the ground. And to top it all, his reminders were interesting. Didier Deschamps had to appreciate
Jordi Alba (6.5) . But where will he find the energy? Tireless, the former Valencia player was as usual brought before the danger, never forgetting the defensive withdrawal. He even resisted the speed of Gareth Bale! The Spaniard still missed a great opportunity late in the game but hard to blame him
Javier Mascherano (6) . Little to but so essential. The Argentine placed in midfield led to the physical impact and some vice, both of which are often lacking in Barça. No awkward on the ball
Andres Iniesta (6) . More aggressive and enterprising as usual, the midfielder served as leader orchestra until it disappears gradually from the portion in the second period. Replaced in the 80th by Xavi (not rated) , which merely distribute without risk.
Ivan Rakitic (5, 5) : If physical impact and vision of the game are valuable assets, the Croat lost a few balls near the surface that could be very expensive. Proof that he has adapted to the Catalan game. Replaced in the 75th by Sergio Busquets (not rated) , which came to calm the game.
Lionel Messi ( 6.5) : more from the expected “La Pulga”. Fairly quiet overall, he still made an assist for Jérémy Mathieu free-kick. And each time he left his right side to pierce solid shaft, the Argentine hurt! His stat assists could climb if his teammates had been more adroit
Luis Suarez (7.5) .: see comments above
Neymar (4) . is the disappointment of Barcelona next evening. Despite some acceleration late in the game, the Brazilian has not done as much as usual. And above all, he lost too many balls besides his two missed opportunities to kill the game. Replaced in the 84th by Rafinha (not rated)
REAL MADRID.
Iker Casillas (6.5) : If the Spanish goalkeeper can not do anything on the head of Jérémy Mathieu, he went out all the stops late in the game for leave a chance to equalize Real unsuccessfully
Daniel Carvajal (4) . Interestingly on offensive phases, the right side can be estimated pleased to have been dealing with a sleeping Neymar. Because when Jordi Alba and Andrés Iniesta came the tease, the Barcelona attacks ended up dangerous crosses …
Sergio Ramos (5) : solid aggressive central defender has written a good game overall. But its elastic marking on purpose to spoil his evening Jérémy Mathieu. . Too bad
Pepe (3.5) : seriously challenged by Luis Suarez. Moreover, the Portuguese international commits a needless foul on Barcelona’s striker, which brought the free kick goal Jérémy Mathieu. Aggressiveness is not everything … Replaced in the 73rd with Raphaël Varane (not rated) .
Marcelo (6.5) : the left side were on fire tonight! Because in addition to Jordi Alba, the Brazilian delivered a fine performance with an invaluable offensive contribution. Author of an amazing technical gesture “do Brasil” along the key. A watch again and again
Toni Kroos (5.5) . His short pass quality or long did wonders to cut the enemy lines. But the German has no profile to run after the ball when Barca confiscates
Luka Modric (6) . His injury? It’s the past. Casually, the Croat is the real boss of the Madrid community. His passing, his vista and physical impact make it necessary. Replaced in the 88th by Lucas Silva (not rated) .
Isco (3.5) : very very discreet, the young midfielder has absolutely not weigh in the game we expected much better from a player in form in recent weeks.. Clearly, he still has a course to take to win at Real
Gareth Bale (5) . This time, no one can blame him lack of desire. The Welshman has shown a huge motivation in his laundry and his defensive withdrawal. But hey, a winger Bale is supposed to make a difference, that he has not done tonight after missing its opportunities late in the first period.
Karim Benzema (7) : The best Spaniard! Without Claudio Bravo Gala, the French would certainly have scored at least one goal. And what of his decisive pass … A backheel just perfect. And it’s not Cristiano Ronaldo who say otherwise
Cristiano Ronaldo (6.5) . Not destabilized by whistles, Portuguese proved dangerous every time he touched the ball almost in the first period. He also scored and hit the bar before requiring Claudio Bravo out a superb tap. But CR7 faded away as his teammates.
And for you, what were the three players BEST BAD and the three of each team? Talk in the “comments” below!
