Real Madrid 0 FC Barcelona 2
It may not have been a classic, but it was nonetheless edge of the seat stuff. Gabi Millito’s collapse towards the end personified the toughness of the battle. (Dear Carlos-it’s not all beautiful football!)
Some enduring images:
- Florentino Perez looking increasingly uncomfortable in his presidential box
- Cristiano Ronaldo looking increasingy uncomfortable on the pitch
- Messi’s cheeky smile after scoring another goal
- Pedro fighting back to win the ball.
- Pedro scoring the second goal. An emerging talent , one of Pep Guardiola’s young boys.
Meanwhile a friend of a friend of mine is designing a T-shirt slogan in anticipation of Barca’s return to the Bernabeu. All ideas welcome. PRIZE FOR THE BEST SUBMISSION: Signed copy by author of Barca: A People’s Passion (Bloomsbury)
