El Clásico: No Surprises

I'll keep this short since there were no surprises and FCB won as expected. Real Madrid kept the score down due to their highly organized 11-man defense, something that was expected given their gutted squad and morale. It's difficult for any club to play in this situation, and an effective counterattack can make you pay if you try to breach such a packed box. But, fortunately, that club was FC Barcelona, and taking on a packed defense is the norm for them. Hence, no huge score, but another victory, and another clean sheet. As one commenter pointed out, had Real Madrid had a healthier squad, they might have lost by a margin of 4-1 or 5-2. This because los Merengues may have tried to take it to the Blaugrana, and they would've been seriously punished for it. Anyway, good game. Real Madrid gave it their best shot with what resources they had, but in the end they are yet another three points for the Catalan club.

Over 30 years ago, this American came to love the sport by way of Guam. It may have been pivotal that his first coach was a Spaniard with the self-declared moniker of 'Don Pedro'. Since then, the love of tiki-taka and all things La Liga has been foremost. This especially applies to Barça.
