I can't stand them.
Good game. Disgusting antics by the barca players and to a much lesser extent by the madrid players. Alba is a disgrace and so is alves. Once again Barca underperforms against decent opposition.
Xavi looks too old and risk averse. Iniesta was still on vacation and thats the main reason barca were very incompetent (he is their brain). They couldnt even play their passing game let alone pose any threat upfront. The defense continues to look like a mess with last ditch tackles and blocks.
Sanchez flopped as usual and Neymar was losing possession everytime he touched the ball. He took his goal well though. The look on Messi's face was priceless especially after that terrible performance. Fabregas breathed life into the team and should be in the first team given that he is barca's most inform player. I think they should play fabregas deep were he can spray passes like he did with Arsenal as opposed to playing the risk-averse Xavi.
In any case it has only been pre-season and couple of games. They better pick up their game because I am not impressed. Not that I dont like seeing barca fail though.

Yeah, winning 7-0 against Levante or similar teams means jack shit in the end. Barca aren't going to go anywhere without reinforcing the defense (most important), then midfield (mishandling of Thiago created a huge problem), & then I still have no clue why Villa was just thrown away. Actually I do, but whenever I bring it up I get called a conspiracy theorist by other Barca fans 
Ronaldo to cost Madrid €35m a year
By Football Espana staff
Cristiano Ronaldo will cost Real Madrid €35.3m per season when he signs his new contract at the club, according to reports.
Cinco Dias have claimed that the Portugal international, who is set to pen an extension at Santiago Bernabeu later this month, will now not come under the 'Beckham Law’.
Legislation was put in place last decade to try and entice foreign stars to La Liga by offering clubs 24.75 per cent tax on wages.
However, the goalscorer will have been a tax resident in Spain for six years and will therefore cost Los Blancos €18.3m from 2015.
