Barcelona dominated the game, had the ball for around 70% of the time. They lined up 7 players from the youth team, what made them apply their unique and classy soccer style. However, during the 1st half, Real Madrid had more opportunities to score than Barcelona did. Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo, Marcelo and Higuain were too fast for Barcelona defenders. During the second half, the same pattern, Barcelona moving the ball, controlling the game, but this time RM strikers were running out of fuel. Finally, and after showing its superiority for most part of the game, Ibrahimovic scored for FC Barcelona. Real Madrid tried to come back, but Barcelona midfilders Xavi and Iniesta made a great job taking care of the ball and contolling the game timing.

Congratulation for FC Barcelona fans, you have a great team (from a Real Madrid Supporter)

This rivalty is not in soccer, Barcelona and Madrid are always in rivalty, not matter the question. Well, the real rivalty is between Madrid and Catalunya, two spanish regions, but we love soccer so... our bests teams are always in rivalty. Soccer players, like in all sports, change their team a lot of times in their sports life. Well, in Spain if one player was in one of those teams, then can not go to the other (Figo do it, he went from Barcelona to Madrid, and Barcelona's fans tried to hurt him when he had to play in Barcelona with the Madrid's tshirt). I don't know why but... we don't like each other.
