The muted Barcelona at the Bernabeu ... again

Nothing presaged the 23 seconds after a goal from Benzema, that the euphoria of a sudden he was staying at the Bernabeu last which takes the overwhelming logic of imposing its law football. With nothing in common, the faces of Victor Valdes and Karim Benzema reflected the strength and tenderness of football at a time. But far from collapse, Barcelona played the time knowing that he played in his favor. Instead of looking at 1-0 in the light, he watched even reached the first minute of play. And that was before, at least another 89.

The mission was not easy: he played a dip in the sea of doubt that Real Madrid, at the very beginning, we had raised. Unbearable pressure, counter banner, and find the Barcelona defense tickle through the spaces were the weapons by which Mourinho opted gambling is blaugrana stand up to the table. The fate might have in store a smiling white target, but the opponent is fond of the ball, perhaps not so early as usual, and he chose to follow the cortege to make it inseparable.

Thus, a Messi eslámom sewn leather with his left boot could only stop the gauntlet Casillas saving after six minutes. A fact that could not neutralize his defense on the half hour, when the Argentine again, making friends with the ball, finished with a pass to Alexis, who took his stretch drive of your right foot to left lying on the ground to Coentrao, Pepe evade pressure and find the hole through which to place the equalizer. The Chilean marking Cristiano minutes after squandering his best (and only?) Time.

On the carpet in the Barcelona Chamartín tried to recover from the initial campion. And in the second half if the difference between the two favorites began to widen after the tables, and bounds with the web that mounted machine area Guardiola: Busquets immeasurable, bordering on perfection, with Iniesta orphaning a band that deprived him of offer its class, with Xavi growing every second and Cesc as he owned the place in its first derby league, the visiting midfield began to devalue the virtues white.

Xavi on the edge, he found a clearing Coentrao to blow up a shell to bounce off before entering Marcelo meshes Casillas. 1-2, comeback in the Lilliputian pocket and Real Madrid. Coach opted to make several substitutions, all testimonials. Distraught, with its star-CR7-off, and a dazzling contender, Cesc took the opportunity and a Dani Alves received by the right flank to head the classic sentence, aupar Barcelona to first place and, incidentally, to silence the Santiago Bernabeu ... again.
