I saw the game. It was interesting.
I have to say Madrid was perfectly organized. I really felt they had cool-heads and played out their tactics right.
Robinho had a great match. Lots of touches. Very good performance.
Pepe was the Man of the Match for me. Absolute monster. Didn't let anyone get through him, made good marking and made a dangerous header that Valdes kept to himself. If he keeps this up, he'll bench anyone.
Raul was shockingly missing. He was in the pitch all right but i didn't see much of him. I was expecting more from him, really.
Baptista did his job. He scored a pretty good goal. Great assist by Ruud.
Now, with Barcelona. At the start they looked all right to me. But after they conceded the goal, i felt that they didn't know how to work Madrid's defence (Specially cause everyone did their part great; Heinze, Cannavaro, Ramos, Pepe)
Ronaldinho. I felt that he really tried at the start. But as the minutes went by, he did less and less.
Iniesta was the best Barça player, in my point of view. I felt that he was the only one trying to get a draw, at least.
Bottom line, Real Madrid played a good game and deserved the win.
Note: I feel that Barcelona are depending too much on Messi. Dos Santos and the other kid got into the game but couldn't change much.

Credit to Robinho, Baptista and all the others too. Winning at Camp Nou is extreamly strong.
