Anything You Can Do…

By: Rob | September 20th, 2009

Alot has been made of Barcelona and Real Madrid’s rivalry this season, rightly so, as the starting XI’s are surely the best two starting XI’s in the world. And after Barcelona stuck 5 past Atlético Madrid yesterday, we all might have wondered how Real would react.

Well, by putting 5 past new boys Xerez, With Cristiano Ronaldo opening the scoring (above) inside the few minutes.

The floodgates didn’t exactly fly open though, and it took untill the last 15 minutes for Ronaldo to get his second, which then saw Xerez collapse, and goals from Guti, Karim Benzema and Ruud van Nistolrooy completed the rout.

It puts Real top of the league on goal difference, those two goals that Barca conceeded yesterday proving a vital bit of difference. Impressive that both Real and Barca (as well as a miraculous start from unsung heroes Athletic Bilbao) have finished the first 3 games with their 100% record in tact.

  First 3 games? Pft, even Tottenham had 100% from their first three, I’ll be more impressed when its five or six.

  I saw both games.

  Real Madrid weren’t impressive at all. The side clearly hasn’t found a connection with each other yet. Plus they were playing Xerex who are in La Primera for the first time. Real didn’t even score their second goal until late in the match.

  Barcelona on the other hand were impressive, after they scored their first 4 goals in the first half they just went to sleep in the second.

  Madrid vs Barca right now… Barca would walk all over them. I can’t stand commentary which is based on scorelines because they don’t tell the full story. Barca dominated Inter in the UCL but Jose did his normal defend and bore us to death routine for the whole second half and killed the match.
