The media in Spain have not focused on the referee blames either, not even the Catalans, because Real Madrid were so much better in every part and position of the match. Just Robben should've scored two more goals.
Its actually 17 points between Madrid and Barcelona today. Totally unacceptable for Barca, and I felt actually sorry for them last night, because they really got humilliated. This is perhaps the biggest and most hatefull match inside football, and Barca-Madrid are two of the biggest and best clubs in the world. So losing both matches to Madrid - who have 17 points down to Barca - is just a big nightmare for the catalans.
The thing is also that Barca HAD something to play for. They are fighting against the second spot, while Madrid already were Champions.
As Pat says, both teams have many great players and big squads, but Madrid are showing winning spirit and that they stand together as a team. They have also bought in the right players while Barca used a fortune on Henry....who they set as wing...because they had not space to him where he belongs.
However, Barca fans, things turn fast and things will be better. Three years ago and it was Real Madrid who were in Barcas shoes today. Next seasons La Liga will be tougher and more even, I'm pretty sure on that.
Hala Madrid!
Btw, I will NEVER forget the faces of Xavi, Rejkaard, Messi, Puyol last night after the defeat. Its like they had got their death sentence.
