Real Madrid still cannot beat Barcelona!!!
The first game of El Clásico was a 1-0 win for Barcelona. The game was a little tighter that I expected, but once again Barcelona showed Real Madrid that they're still the team to beat.
Cristiano Ronaldo started and played 65 minutes, but he didn't really do much to make a difference. Kaka did all he could, but it wasn't enough. The rest of the team wasn't of much help either, and they missed the few clear chances they had.
It was also hard for Barça to get into the rhythm they're used to. Messi played the entire game while Zlatan Ibrahimovic came off the bench early in the second half. It looked like it was the right move to make as he scored on a first-time, left-footed shot from a cross made by Dani Alves.
The game was chippy with a lot of fouls, mostly by Real Madrid. Sergio Busquets was given a red card, after a second yellow, for an intentional handball...a really stupid play. This was 6 minutes after Ibrahimovic scored in the 56th minute, so Barcelona played with a player down for most of the second half. Lass Diarra lost his cool towards the end of the game and was shown a red card after intentionally fouling Xavi, which looked like it was out of frustration.
Real Madrid can spend all the money in the world on players, but what they really need is to spend money on a new coach. Although soccer is a team sport, the solution to Real Madrid's problems lies in the feet of 1 player...Kaka!!! No matter how many players will get offended by having to play second fiddle to Kaka, Real Madrid needs a coach that will do just that...make this Kaka's team! I guarantee he will deliver just as he did with AC Milan, and much like Zidane did in his day with the Merengues.
