Match and its importance

The table does not lie, but exaggerates. Real Madrid have Vinicius and Benzema, while Barça with Ansu, who is approaching, and Dembele, who is leaving, are behind at a distance that is already measured in centimeters. Or in millimeters, as in Riyadh. Madrid were better when they ran in the first half and suffered when their midfielders got tangled up in the pressure cooler in the second and part of extra time. Barça was better with the youth than with the veterans, but this only gave them the opportunity to increase their self-esteem and revise their forecasts in a big way. Xavi won history. Now he has to win games. Come closer. The setting and the classic script of the Classic were unusual. If Madrid doesn’t run, it dies of boredom. He enjoys when he waits and suffers when he is expected. Barcelona knew about it, and even then they offered him this game, because instinct can. High blood pressure, a person striving for a quick recovery; correct assignment of the ball and patience to play the partridge until the hunt. It is an unwritten law that has been in effect from generation to generation, from Cruyff to the present day. To discuss this is to judge yourself. In patience, Barcelona has always beaten Madrid. Barcelona’s immunity is in this first pressure. 

Vinicius gives first

An atmosphere in which Madrid felt comfortable, had time and space and succeeded on the fifth try in a very unusual game. Busquets, who amassed a fortune on his safety as a broomstick in midfield, fell asleep after Araujo’s only hit and was awakened early by Benzema, who had retrained as a striker rather than a recuperator. The rest lasted like lightning: a deep pass from the Frenchman and sprint and finish on Vinicius’ march.
