Ter Stegen got Umtiti's nads in the face as he turned round to see Mariano's shot had gone in. Double ouch.
They are a shadow of the the force they were.Shit how did Mariano squeeze that one in?
A very deserved win for Real, Barca have been awful tonight.

Just goes to show when you lose your most influential players (Xavi, Iniesta) it's a long way back and it takes years to figure out a new way forward. Granted De Jong is still very young.
As much as it pains me to say it, but Henry was what made that peak Barcelona team really pop.Barca has that identity, but people forget its based on a freakish level of player coming through the academy all at the same time. They won’t see another crop like that for 60 years.
Xavi, Iniesta, Messi, supplemented by Puyol, Busquets, Pique etc
Madness
Decent back up but certainly not a major contributor imhoAs much as it pains me to say it, but Henry was what made that peak Barcelona team really pop.

Villarreal are good.
