Football from another planet: the spectacle of Real and Barca, Messi conquered Madrid

At the very beginning it was clear that this was "game over" and that the two rivals entered into a duel with only one desire, the one that triumphs. Spetkakl announced the opening minutes, Cristiano Ronaldo was the first attack ended up on his back after starting Mascherano, while the Portuguese spread hands looking for offense, on the other side of Messi gambled brzonogog Neymar's shot is too weak shot that beat Diego Lopez. The same is completed and the next attack Madrid side when Benzemin attempt Valdez easily tamed. Not long ago, a network for the first time shook - fast attack Barcelona ended Messi pass from the middle to the left side, where the full race Iniesta passed by Carvajal, a ball and knocked it under the crossbar Real's goal to silence in the stands 0 1 on the scoreboard. Who was it a shock to the domestic audience , what can we say about 13 minutes and the third attempt Karim Benzema who in the previous move by real targeted goal too lukewarm , and the former found himself completely unmarked eight yards after the " return " of the ball Di Maria - a shot just over the crossbar when it seemed that the goal that made it inevitable . It was not long , and Benzema make up for the squandered opportunity For the next possession , the visitors could have had a similar opportunity , not as a good but certainly good : Messi escaped defense because Marcelo late in the offside trap , went to the left side of the penalty area Real and as soon as he stepped inside - shot diagonally ... and to too diagonally , so the ball is swept away by further post. They were already rivals as grogirani boxers to spell also received a shock that no longer has the strength to stand it up, but - it's just what it looked like . Full power , but faced with powerful attacks to which defenses generally not the same, and both are giving their all to withstand bursts of rivals and the before dealing a blow that could be fatal . And one that performed the Madrid side in the 20th minutes, because the re- tandem Di Maria - Benzema was the center of attention , a Frenchman head reacted to pass from the left wing and tied the score at 1:1 . On the wings of a heavy support crowded the stands, just four minutes later the Argentine and French national team player again were fatal for Barcelona. Di Maria was the goal line "rolled up" ball to the middle, Mascherano is "set sail into the void," and the lone Benzema master himself created an ideal position to seven or eight meters send indefensible shot in 2:1. In the next minute, the audience who probably has not even sat on their seats, she was able to celebrate a hat-trick Karim Benzema, who shrewdly waited for a new pass my best friend in this game, Di Maria, and when the ball skipped the Barcelona defender tandem followed by a sideways shot from the right side of the box - which is right on the goal-line stop Đerar Pike. There followed a somewhat quieter period of the match, not the end of the half. After 42 minutes, one of the many attacks agile Barcelona ended Mesijevim passing in the middle of the box, Neymar, where the Real Madrid defense was able to deflect the ball back only to the Argentine who was fleeing toward the center - his shot rattled, left corner - 2:2 for the fact that On 19 a goal against Real Madrid became the top scorer in the history of "El classics." Barsa celebration for equalizing lasted just short, about a second and a half, because Pepe straight to Fabregas, hit him head, and fell dramatically just as if he had been knocked out, but the acting is awarded a yellow card, just like his rival who is judge found an objection. Towards the end of the half, Benzema was able to celebrate, because the pass from the right wing tried to raise your head his third goal and sent the ball right next to the box, and went to the break the tie. The second part of the match has started a new chance for the Frenchman, who was Valdez's shot, and until then a fairly seamless Ronaldo managed to fool a judge malenky - and force a penalty, even though it was Dani Alves foul outside the penalty area. The Portuguese also took a penalty, and that it was Valdez "read" and threw it into the right side was not enough to keep the score 3-2. Drama is, in fact, only then begun. After 63 minutes, masterfully adding Messiah long 30 meters in the middle knocked Neymar is in the foreground, in front of the keeper of the Real. Arrived it was then captain of domestic Sergio Ramos, improperly stopped - and got a red card. The responsibility is taken by Lionel Messi, who has unfailingly, semi-high to the right, took a penalty and put the 3-3. Barsa is then fully flourish, it was quite logical and the strength of the field, even after a quick replacement of the Real (header Benzema replaced defender Varan). A first opportunity for the visitors with an extra player was one of 74 minutes, when the slightly askew on the right side of Dani Alves powerful shot and scored further limit what the Real was the first of two happy details of that moment, as the ball flew past the fallen Lopez and not to refuse from his back to goal , returned to the field. Barcelona then added gas, Coach Martin has sent the game fresh Chilean, Alexis Sanchez, who was with Pedro refreshed offensive part of the game Barcelona, from which they went to the bench Neymar and Fabregas. I completely offensive fruitless 84 minute, Iniesta tried to pass between two guards, fell - a referee pointed to the white spot. More than enough for another missile Messiah on the right and the final 3-4 on the scoreboard, and end of Real's array of 31 competitive match without defeat. Last suffered - also by Barse (2:1), 26 October 2013th
