Considering how bad our RB situation was after Alves left I was worried our LB situation would be just as bad after Alba left. Balde being so good so quickly and still getting better with each game has been a godsend.
it's now 101 real madrid wins vs 100 barca wins in official matches (if we include exhibitions then it's 119 to barca vs 105 to madrid)
the best part about el clasico is that the rivalry is extremely close
Yeah, since the WC he’s been real off his game. For lewa. He’s overthinking, taking one too many touches in the box and losing the ball, or he’s invisible for 87 of the 90. But he’s also been struggling with injury and, I mean, he’s no spring chicken. But it’s also because we’ve been missing dembele and Pedri for a while too. So we’ve been struggling with incision, struggling with final third passes, etc. So the few times per game a pass gets to lewa in the box, he’s been playing back so far or not touching the ball that he’s not as deadly in front of goal as he was for the first half of the season.
All that said, Barca fans bitch about everything that isn’t perfection. They were calling for lewa’s head the past few months, just like they called for Suarez’s head toward the end of his time with us. But as soon as he left it’s all, “such a mistake to lose him! he’s been in form at atleti!” There is no pleasing Barca fans.it’s annoying. And I say that as a Barca fan myself.
They were calling for xavi to be fired a few weeks ago when we got knocked out of EL. Just fair weather fans. It’s fucking annoying.
That was Carvajal, even better. He sat up, but he can lie back down after the goal since he was acting like a bitch with that dive against Gavi. Fkr conned the shitty ref going into a low elbow on an already short guy. Then him and Ceballos got pissy in the end too, sore losers.
So Real Madrid beat Liverpool 2-6 over two legs. Liverpool beat United 7-0. United beat Barça 4-3 over two legs and now Barça beat Real Madrid thus completing the circle. Circle of life.
Edit: missing word
Barca may genuinely be the only team on the planet who have zero fear of real madrid (for obvs reasons in years past) but what a result this will be for them, surely the leagues wrapped up now
Everyone respects Madrid in the CL, we know them too well and have gotten amazing results in the past 20 years, that we can’t respect them the same way everyone else does. It’s purely a mentality issue.
The same holes three four years in a row. No fullbacks that can attack, no right winger no threat from the midfield.
I am so sick of seeing Carvajal starting, dude has been past it for a while now.
It's funny because Barcelona fans are furious at the state of the club despite running away with the league title and Madrid fans are furious at the state of the club despite being CL champions.
Barca is in the middle of very dangerous situation, fair enough to be frustrated. As far as football moves from this leadership - I was pretty happy. Would have prefered full back signing rather than one of the wingers - but all in all it was good.
Even if you aren't a Barca fan (and I'm not one) you got to respect this kind of football. Beautiful. And not only this goal, how Barca plays is amazing.
Xavi winning the league in his first season is actually mental, i was expecting a graham potter-esque results at the beginning. I owe him an apology, i was not familiar with his game.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
the whole attack was so good. lewy's backheel weighted perfectly to balde and the clean cutback and the perfect finish.

Madrid is gonna play like this in the league and win the CL somehow
It's the deal they made with the devil
Possibly the greatest deal in sport’s history
Barcelona>Real Madrid>Europe>Barcelona It's the circle of life.
I despise how true this is
Real Madrid, Barca, and Bayern are like Paper, Scissors, Rock.
Yeah, it must be horrible to have only won 4 of the last 17 Champions League trophies.
Tbf I've felt they played even better that the first bernabeu clasico this season
This is the way
Balde looking up before crossing brought tears to my eyes. No more cross and inshallah.
Its actually amazing how good he is and how much he improved since the start of the season. We have a gem on our hands
^ THIS. And the fact that he's only 19!!!
I think I’m commenting this for the second time but I can’t fucking believe you’ve found your Alba replacement already. What a brilliant player.
Considering how bad our RB situation was after Alves left I was worried our LB situation would be just as bad after Alba left. Balde being so good so quickly and still getting better with each game has been a godsend.
It was great to see Alba running to the pitch and celebrating with Balde....
it's now 101 real madrid wins vs 100 barca wins in official matches (if we include exhibitions then it's 119 to barca vs 105 to madrid) the best part about el clasico is that the rivalry is extremely close
Time to kill them in the Copa and bring the record to a tie
Anulo mufa
What was this record before Raijkard?
A lot of Madrid win probably
Rijkaard*
THAT BACKHEEL😫😫😫😫
Sexy fucking goal
stupid sex lewandowski
Words can’t describe how much I love this man
Lewansexo
Fucking sexy goal
Balde did great with that pass too
And Kessie, it wasn't that easy shot
Yeah that was a great finish by Kessie, seemed like a small gap to get it right
Balde had a great game overall, very ballsy
He straight bodied that defender right after
absolutely truck sticked
Reminded me off when Van Dijk sent that angry Argentinian guy into another dimension at the WC
So fucking good!!!
Man remembered he's good at football.
Lewa is too good
lewanbackheelski
Great finish as well, that is not a easy shot
+ nutmeg
So sexy everything
Lmao, Lionel Kessie gonna be scoring against Madrid all the time now
He made sure to shoot it to the side Fati wasn’t on this time
Fati's position: Spy.
lmao, two goalies
Honestly though, Fati's movement dragged 2 defenders with him and opened up space for Kessie.
Bruhhh he left Jordi Alba hanging bad
Best player on the world.
Il presidente 🥲
Messi wants to return but the spot is taken
There's place for only one Lionel in this town
He has been so clutch
Damn Lewa. That was sweet
Right after the talks about him being outta form these days
Probably is out of form but still has some insane things in the pocket.
Yeah, since the WC he’s been real off his game. For lewa. He’s overthinking, taking one too many touches in the box and losing the ball, or he’s invisible for 87 of the 90. But he’s also been struggling with injury and, I mean, he’s no spring chicken. But it’s also because we’ve been missing dembele and Pedri for a while too.

He is out of form but class is permanent
He is out of form but that pass was magical regardless
i mean, even an out of form Lewandowski is a top 3 striker in the world
Gorgeous play all around
Scudetto and La Liga in consecutive years is pretty damn sweet
Who was the last one to do it? I only remember Eto’o
Bro, Ibra too Inter, Barca, Milan
Zlatan won 8 league titles in a row in 8 years with 5 (Ajax, Juve, Inter, Barça, Milan) different clubs between 2003 and 2011.
That’s just insane lol
His UCL record died for this to happen. Left Inter for Barca and Inter won the UCL that season. Left Barca for Milan and Barca won the UCL that season
Ibrahimovic probably?
Dani Alves?
Technically that was the other way around.
Lewy's backheel was nuts
Just sublime
how he flattened benzema with his shoulder right after was funny
That was Carvajal, even better. He sat up, but he can lie back down after the goal since he was acting like a bitch with that dive against Gavi. Fkr conned the shitty ref going into a low elbow on an already short guy. Then him and Ceballos got pissy in the end too, sore losers.
What a backheel
So Real Madrid beat Liverpool 2-6 over two legs. Liverpool beat United 7-0. United beat Barça 4-3 over two legs and now Barça beat Real Madrid thus completing the circle. Circle of life. Edit: missing word
Three victory this year
It's what makes football so fucking good.
Liverpool 🤝 Barça Being shite in Europe but wins over their rivals
Lewa you beauty
Lol. Lmao even. Who would have thought that Barcelona’s two goals to win El Clasico would have come from Roberto and Kessie?
False 9 lewy
Kessie's has been good recently, except against Athletic Bilbao when he was subbed in
And Araujo, lol.
Sergi is always on steroids during Clasicos
Lol 2 CM in a further forward position
Barca may genuinely be the only team on the planet who have zero fear of real madrid (for obvs reasons in years past) but what a result this will be for them, surely the leagues wrapped up now
Thierry Henry said it best back in the day: "Europe fears Real but Real fears Barça"
Everyone respects Madrid in the CL, we know them too well and have gotten amazing results in the past 20 years, that we can’t respect them the same way everyone else does. It’s purely a mentality issue.
I respect it tbf
Real madrid own europe, barca own Madrid, Europe owns Barca
Bad deal for barca
Anulo mufa
La Rosalía sends her regards
We just cant beat them god I hate this.
Somehow, Xaviball made us you guys' kryptonite
Remember their fans singing “Xavi quédate” lol
Barca kinda were their kryptonite before up until 2020.
I think that had to do with the argentine fella
Mascherano?
I know the feeling
You're my favourite team to play against
Blame the president for not planning a better squad.
The same holes three four years in a row. No fullbacks that can attack, no right winger no threat from the midfield. I am so sick of seeing Carvajal starting, dude has been past it for a while now.
You guys literally just won the champions league and Valverde started the season pretty dangerous from midfield
It's funny because Barcelona fans are furious at the state of the club despite running away with the league title and Madrid fans are furious at the state of the club despite being CL champions.
Spoiled with success.
I think standards would be a better way to explain it
Barca is in the middle of very dangerous situation, fair enough to be frustrated. As far as football moves from this leadership - I was pretty happy. Would have prefered full back signing rather than one of the wingers - but all in all it was good.
You guys are not even a year from winning La Liga and UCL. Some fans see their club go year after year without a trophy. Relax.
Barca telling Real Madrid "look at me! I am the 90+ team now"
Alejandro Balde my goat
He’s so good and so young, future looking bright
We missed out on Alphonso Davies, but we got Balde!
for now davies is just balde but bigger and faster😭
Maybe, Balde will evolve to Davies. Just like Pokémon.
What a backheel pass from lewa...
Great pace from lewa
Impacter.
El Presidente
Filthy backheel from Lewy
Lewy heard you talking shit
Clutch!!!!!!???! Yessssssaas boyyyyyyyssssss
It must be because of the Lebron James-like beard! So happy for him !
Better team won, well deserved.
Advantage Barca
What a backheel from Lewy
Even if you aren't a Barca fan (and I'm not one) you got to respect this kind of football. Beautiful. And not only this goal, how Barca plays is amazing.
That's why we have fans all over the world. Who fell in love with how we play.. Instead of who plays for us.
[удалено]
Everyone has their own reasons to love the club bro. :)
Xavi is to madrid what Henry was to Spurs. Has had the keys to the club his entire playing career and is doing it again as a coach
The difference is that nobody cares about Tottenham.
Lol
Welp Barca just won La Liga
anulo mufa
Calma
tranquilo..
Lewandowski haters in shambles
DIDNT SCORE IN A BIG GAME THOUGH!!!
Only backheels
9-point lead? Make that 12
That was actually great from Lewy. Good thinking
There was nobody on that right hand side for Madrid, balde and Lewandowski had so much freedom
Damn... Lewandowski. That's what the great players do. Even when he's completely out of form and didn't give much impact this game, he pulls off this.
Baldé is so good man La Masia is so good
The very first time in Europe and I got to go to this amazing match!!!
BACKHEEL NUTMEG 😩😩😩🤌💦
Fuck me
just did
😏😏😏😏
ASL?
Thanks
I’m convinced if we faced Madrid more in the CL, Madrid would have less CLs
What a time to score your first goal
Not his first
first in la liga
First in the league
Real Madrid try to win any match against Barcelona ever challenge (literally completely impossible)
Isn't Xavi like 5-1 on el clasicos now??
Lewy being written as “Lewa” triggers me for some reason.
its because lewa is feminine in polish. lewy is the masculine way to shorten it
Xavi winning the league in his first season is actually mental, i was expecting a graham potter-esque results at the beginning. I owe him an apology, i was not familiar with his game.
Wait, what the fuck. I turned the game off after the 2nd RM goal. Was it disallowed or something? FUCK ME
Offside
Absolutely beautiful backheel pass from lewa
Carvajal crossing the most dead cross resulting in a counter attack and jogs back when militao is in a 1 v 2. 0/10 performance
I remember Mardid fans complaining about the last clasico that barca parked a bus. We don't see a bus now do we?
Barca have paid Kessié, this is clear corruption.
Wow, that's a classic El Clasico moment right there. La Liga feels nearly wrapped up at this point
is like what Thierry Henry said: In Europe everybody fears Real Madrid... and Real Madrid fears FC Barcelona...
Lewa 🥵
Backheel of the century and Goalendowski not even on the scoresheet.
Balde is amazing
La Liga is over...
anulo mufa
Chelsea is fucked now.
Kessie, my maaaaaaan!!! Does it again!
Lmao
Holy shit that was silky
We own Madrid like no one else
They have won the league surely now.
anulo mufa
Deserved, Barca have been the much better team tonight
Lewa. Fucking hell
Fully deserved. Let's fucking gooooooooo
Real Madrid can beat pretty much any team in Europe except Barcelona. Barcelona can be beat by a bunch of teams in Europe except by Real Madrid. Bruh.
LET HIM COOK
Lewandowski is back
Who needs Messi when you have.. Kessie
Lewy's backheel was so juicy I can't even. Kessie owns Madrid 🔥🔥🔥
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA the whole attack was so good. lewy's backheel weighted perfectly to balde and the clean cutback and the perfect finish.
GG Barcelona, on to next season.
anulo mufa
Lewy fuck me please i Beg you please
YO WTF
HOLY SHIT ARE WE GONNA DO IT?!?!
Militao error, but great from Lewa and Kessie !
