Barcelona turning on the style second half. Great stuff.
Real Madrid will do well to keep it at this.

Back in it, 3-2.
Unusually sloppy from Barcelona.

Once again all I saw from Alonso was an early stupid foul that took him out of the game, no where for any of the goals, too high up the field, too easily left for dead, completely useless. One pass which was "bang down the field see if someone catches it" which they did, then fluff it, who was that, Ozil.
Ozil, for the 58th time in a row club and country, fails to deliver in a big games. Fluffed shots, fluffed simple passes, sure he got a assist from a corner but that wasn't exactly brilliant or world class. They still don't have a left back, Ramos still gives away penalties/fouls when he shouldn't and didn't need to, Khedira didn't do an awful lot but is usually better than that in the big games. Alonso plays like that in most of Real's games, barely involved, defensively never where he needs to be, offensively not much of anything, giving away stupid fouls and stupid yellow cards. Overall Real were pretty poor, and Barca couldn't finish to save their lives in the first half, if Real could defend that first goal could have ended it but they are so completely rubbish it was back in Barca's hand minutes later.
Messi except the penalty was poop, Sanchez should have gotten two yellows, though the second one had a decent amount of contact the ref also clearly called it as a dive, no idea why both weren't yellows.

Only if Valdes could kick a ball.

Looks like Lucio's career might well be over. He suffered a torn ankle ligament against Parma in Juve's 2-0 win yesterday.
At 34, you don't see him coming back from this.
Shame really.

Some good games on tonight.
I can see goals in both the RM and Barca games... lots of goals.
PSG are without Ibra and Lavezzi but Silva is set to make his debut. They need to win.
Interesting to see this new Milan side after losing half their team in the summer.

Can't stand Sanchez, one of the worst not only for diving but the theatrics afterwards.
Iniesta seemed to boss the game in the second half.
Was on the phone for some of it so got a bit confused Abidol seemed to get booked about 3 times?!?
Got a feeling there might have been some dodgy caption/commentary in the first half after Alonso fouled a guy, ref played advantage then the ref supposedly booked Abidol for it but in reality probably didn't.
Oh and why is there ALWAYS some tool with a green laser pen at these matches?

To be honest, he had ever right to go down when he got tangled up with Ramos. It was abit seedy but these guys are told to go down under any collision in the box.
I've seen worse from players in England, Young for example being one of the worst.
Now, this is a dive.

Who watched the Serie A games? Udinese are poor. They lost their top players (once again) and they got unknown players. It worked out for the last what, 4 years, but I feel that one time, they would have gambled on a few players who flop and they lose it all. i feel this is that season. They lost too much to be competitive. Di Natale is 35, you can't count on him.
And Juve. Ref, please, buy a pair of glasses.
