After the whomping that Barça delivered them in September it was apparent that the eager punk team of Madrid would go to some measures to get their comeuppance. As it stands, they are the only team in Madrid to have beaten Barcelona recently--
hundred million dollar signings, or not.
The real drag about the loss is that not only did At. Madrid nearly shutdown the striking power of Ibra (who scored the sides lone goal off a corner), but the failure of composure that the team showed.
Puyol, of all people, made costly errors that resulted in both goals. Their captain slipping, the crew got into trouble. Hasty fouls. The current stink-eyed play of Ibra continuing and growing greyer. Lack of control.
But the performance of the team's captain seemed to tell about the mounting pressures on the team. The team fit has started to look shakier after the honeymoon in the fall. Is it the whole world right now? Obama's healthcare. A shittier crop than ever in the oscar race? Winter storms and earthquakes.
Carles, let us know when you get back from vacation;
The team's in trouble without you.
