    Madrids defense was all over the place, looked clueless.

    Is Benitez really going to get the sack this early on?

    Was a demolition, everytime Barca got the ball they were getting in behind Reals midfield with about 2 passes then Neymar and Suarez were wide open, that Munir missed a couple of great chances for 5 and 6 as well.

    Best ive seen Iniesta playing in a long time too, he's been quite poor the past 2 seasonsish but last night was playing like it was 3/4 year ago, beating people for fun, passing and moving. Roberto played well as well he's been good this season.

    Benitez won't last long in Madrid. That's a shocker of a result for Real, as bad as it gets.

    Madrid were 3 nil down and Ronaldo was still trying 4 or 5 step overs, there's a time and a place son :40:


    Apparently a lot of fans didn't want Benitez because of his style of football, you can see why.

    FACT: Barça keeper Bravo had more passes (54) yesterday than Madrid forwards Ronaldo (44), Bale (41), Benzema (26).

    If you think Iniesta has been poor the past 2 seasons you are clueless.

    He was, dont know what you were watching. Its why he was benched a lot last season also subbed off a lot, even this season so far he hasnt played any better than Roberto or Rakitic until last night.

    Last night alone he scored and assisted more goals (2) than he managed in his previous 39 League appearances(1 assist 0 goals).

    He's been average at best by his standards for the last 2 years, very rarely playing well and no real spell of top form for any length especially compared to how he was playing from about 2007-2013.

    Iniesta has been different class any time I've seen him in the last two years, particularly last season he was the man pulling the strings. Absolute top class in the Champions League run as well.

    In the first instance his game is much, much more than just goals and assists.

    In general, however, suggesting he's been poor the past 2 seasons is simply lies. Champions League team of the season, FIFA World 11 and best attacking midfielder in La Liga all part of or won last season.

    Not bad for someone that's been average at best.
