Did nothing? He was man of the match in several classicos(2-1 win to secure the title in 2012, copa del rey 2nd leg last season). It was a huge blunder to sell him and one they'll pay for and regret.

You can drop the attitude now and we can get back to this match.

No attitude at all. Difference of opinion, and he was anonymous in a few clasicos, subbed off in one or two of them. I agree they shouldn't have sold him, but don't be so precious.

Moneymaker

Looked like a stonewall penalty to me.

Too Tough To Die

Should've been a penalty. What a shot.

Moneymaker

Jesus what a hit. Unlucky.

Lennonist

That would definitely be a penalty in the Bernabau.

MyPeopleDrankTheSoup

is the crowd really quiet or is it sky?

Too Tough To Die

We know about Songs immense talents! Rob f*cking Palmer.

Too Tough To Die

WHat a goal!

Luckycharms_74

Super goal by Alexis

delaad

Well done!

Corholio

Great finish in fairness.

Professional Griefer

Fantastic goal, poor from the keeper.

Moneymaker

Wow, take a bow Sanchez.

miralize

I wanted to see him leave last season. Never have I been more wrong about a player.

Amirani

Fantastic goal. Speechless.

Andersonisgod

Ooooohhhh that's never gone in! A goal that typifies, ex amplifies that carefree and expressive football that Barcelona symbolise. It's Neymar, it's the brilliance of Sanchez, it's football as it should be.

It's sky. Watching on spanish TV and they are loud.

Tom Hanks

That's game, set & match imo.

Sublime finish

Tom Hanks

Commentators mustn't be there, crowd noise is low which is always a dead give-away

Corholio

Barca were doing nothing in second half up to then, the Real not given penalty was a big decision to get wrong.

klose

Shades of daniel sturridge in alexis sanchezs goal there

Oat23

Ronaldo just got owned.

Too Tough To Die

Haha Alves really mugged Ronaldo off there.

Moneymaker

Little harsh on Real this second half but I think Barca are deserving of the win, tough test of their credentials and they've passed. Defended better then i've seen in some time and two moments of class at the other end.

Andersonisgod

The Camp Nou rises to applaud the brilliant, match winning performance of the great Neymar.

miralize

Xavi is just tearing sh*t up in this game. Phenomenal.

Moneymaker

Well Neymar certainly deserves that applause.

Tom Hanks

I can see another goal.

I'm switching back to the Spanish commentary as Palmer is obviously smoking something stronger than a Benson & Hedges.

Tom Hanks

Telegraphed shot there.....

Tom Hanks

The sound difference from Sky to C+ is amazing.

Crowd giving it loads

Corholio

Once Ancelotti gets the tactics right, and he will once Alonso comes back, along with Bale getting used to the Spanish game, they'll definitely play better than the first half tonight. Tough on Bale to throw him in there tonight, I think he'll he superb for Real though.

Very optimistic prediction there.

Yeah he was anonymous but he couldn't possibly be 100%

He'll get slated in the Madrid press though, that's how it works there alas.

Madrid had their chances in this game, Barca more clinical and crisp though.

miralize

**** sake.. too early to make mistakes.

delaad

Valdes????

SantryRed

Really poor by Valdes.

Pro. F

Lol Valdes

Professional Griefer

Should have saved that.

Moneymaker

Valdes should have done better there.

Oat23

The best keeper in Europe should really be saving that..

Tom Hanks

Ronaldo's burst there was absolutely phenomenal.

Keeper showing his true class there..... Number 1 goalkeeper in the world my ****.

Alpha Dog 1

Valdes should have done better there.

Too Tough To Die

He's like a kid on a trip to the seaside. Jesus christ.

Tom Hanks

It's one of those games best played at 11pm local time isn't it?

Big win for Barce all the same.

Corholio

Real unlucky to lose that, Barca more clinical with the few chances they had and a terrible penalty decision the difference.

Real Madrid created far less than Barcelona did. Unlucky not to get a penalty, but the result is fairly correct.

klose

Ramos is midfield and bale as a cf really backfired on ancelotti,in saying that real were denied a stone wall peno which could have made it 1-1. Average enough game tbh.

Andersonisgod

Excellent performance overall for Barcelona,a massive improvement on the performances against Madrid last season, the addition of the phenomenal Neymar proved decisive, Xavi Hernandez produced the kind of performance that few, if any, other midfielder can replicate, the controlling force in the game, a towering figure in the centre of the park despite his small stature. 6 point gap between the two clubs, Tata's rejuvenated Barcelona side continue their match back to the top of world football.

Far less? At the most it was even. Khedira 1 on 1, Ronaldo's shot, Jese's goal, Benzema's off the bar, Khedira's miss from 3 yards, Benzema's header over the bar. Barca had very little second half.

Edit: Taking quality of chance into account of course.
