This game showed the lack of squad depth in Barcelona and the amazing squad depth in Real Madrid at the moment. Expect at least 2 signing, maybe 3 for Barcelona. Paulinho is all but confirmed and Dembele as well as Coutinho as very likely to arrive before September 1st, thus giving Valverde lots of solutions...especially Dembele who is quite talented. The fact that Benzema and Bale have yet to show signs of quality contribution since the start of preseason is worrying and should give Zidane food for thought regarding the striker situation in Real Madrid. Apart from right back and striker positions, the squad is quite packed with quality but a team of Real Madrid's calibre is not wise to start a season without adding a proper forward in order to replace Morata who left for Chelsea.
Barça's right side is just piss poor defensively. Piqué is slow, Vidal is no RB and Messi hardly play's as a RW anymore. They need to play with a real RW (not Rakitic that fills the gap cause Leo has left his spot) and move Messi to the center, or someone, maybe Valverde -just a thought-, has to tell him to do some defensive contribution. I mean, Deulofeu was bad, but at least he stopped or slowed Carvajal down many times. Marcelo and RM's midfield (mostly Isco) had a highway on their flank.
if paulinho is coming with dembele and countinho we will need to use 4 2 3 1 formation. paulinho and basquest as DCMc messi on the right and countinho as the ACM and dembele on the left. LUISE SAUREZ AS OUR STRIKER. THAT WILL DO GOOD FOR US.
if we lose on wednsday. i hope we lose by a big score so that ernesto can wake up and put excuses aside. i fill luise enrique was always happy about performance even in a lose. i realy hope accepts really and open the eyes. otherwise this season will even be more worse.

Review of the match:
1st half: 2 teams are playing normally
2nd half: 47 min, Messi clearly gets fouled inside the box by ramos but no call which leads up to own goal. Afterwards suarez dives (clearly) but I feel its justified for the penalty messi should've gotten earlier. 3 minutes later Ronaldo scores a banger and gets a yellow card for taking off his shirt. 2 minutes later, Ronaldo stumbles but referee sees this as a dive (maybe it's the angle I don't know) and gets sent off. 89th minute, Asensio scores a banger.
Pretty much after the own goal, Real Madrid parked the bus and scored when Barcelona made a mistake.
Suarez dived, Ronaldo (for once) didn't. Had this been at the Bernabeu, Suarez would have been booked and Madrid would've been awarded a penalty. Madridistas shouldn't moan because they receive equally favourable decisions at home but it would be nice to see a referee judge incidents on their merit. In the end, Madrid deserved to win this match and did. Barcelona need a miracle or Deniz Aytekin in the return leg.
i dont think this coach is strong enough to be firm with messi. we need a firm coach with top players like messi. like guardiola was with ronaldionho and eto. and those guys. other wise we are gona be flopp with messi. at the moment. we cant compete with real madrid.
ouR President should have given Neymar the sport light. he was then future. all that investment is gon now. messi and iniesta trained neymar for nothng
damn. they need a star which will replace messi. a number 10 that will will be able to score goals. kylian mbappe seems to be the player together with dembele. i dnt know about countinho.

Good play by real madrid. very very Good Game. i am so happy this match went. this will show the coach and the leadership in barca that we are not in Good form. especially how we play as a group. all barca players go for an attack but forget about a counter attack. all the time. we need to learn how to defend counter attack.
I couldn't believe how bad the officiating was. It was a great game to watch in the second half unlike the first half. Kovacic was outstanding and he simply neutralized Messi while he was on the pitch. Casemiro needs to control his temper because once he gets a yellow card, his influence will decrease significantly.
@proud93 13 if you count the audience. BTW, if Bernabeu ever showed that much hate toward Messi as Camp Nou yesterday did towards Ronaldo (before he was even substituted) - that would be a legitimate scandal. There's such a double standard it's unbelievable.
yoh. i hope this is beginning of the fall of barcelona... seriously.. i hope the is gona be a change here. pique is becoming useless now as the center back. counter attacks killed us last season. and i think this season as well.
2 yellow cards for Ronaldo. 1 for diving and 1 for trying to show off his muscles, and then he shoves the referee after being sent off. No wonder the neutrals prefer Messi...
Something that pisses me off, why are Real playing in their blue kit? How retarded is that when they have a white kit that would make it so much easier on the eye...
My line up prediction was on point, except for Marcelo. Now let me see whether my score line prediction will also be in point... 3-1 Real Madrid.. #HalaMadrid
Personally, I will love to see Kovacic start in place of Modric, Theo in place of Marcelo and CR7 to start from the bench because he is not fully match fit. 4-4-2 formation: Navas, Ramos, Carvajal, Theo, Varane, Casemiro, Kroos, Kovacic, Isco, Benzema and Bale. I also will love to see Ceballos involved at some point in the game- I like him a lot. 3-1 Real Madrid #halamadrid
@delpiero1100 i wud say if Barca had brains, they shud sign players now while prices are still manageable, next summer Coutinho could go for 191mil, think about that.
@offside countinho price in market is maximum 80m euros so why they should sign him for 140m euros !!! he dont deserve that price dude they can sign Mbappe instead ...so i didnt get ur point
Barcelona is the most stupid team in the world..i used to be a fan of Barca but i really hate them now ..cuz of this silly management about buying players...Douglas, Vermaelen, Alex Song, Mathieu, Andre Gomez, Paco, Aleix Vidal.....can anyone tell me these players r worth buying!!!!! and now they will buy Coutinho for 140 milion this is the dumpiest thing they can do..Coutinho dont worth that money ... Josep Maria Bartomeu u r the most idiot person ...Barcelona need a better person than u
@delpiero1100 ur right about 1 thing, Barca are scaly as hell, they had PSG pay the full clause but now they try to go around the other teams by getting the players to go on strike so they can get them cheap,,, stupid uefalona need to pay the asking price and shut up or go for another season riding on iniesta and messi's back... Maybe RM cud hav loan them James it wud be better than Bayern deal...
@delpiero1100 Andre Gomez has his +, the ball glues to his feet and his short passing is flawless, physicall stature is good, ...but his shooting and defensive contribution is terrible.
eish barca,,, i hope its gonna be a good 2 legs of football, gonna be a good long season............ Death by benzema 2018, that walking goat needs to score in 1 of these games.
I can see Bale having a good game as his opposition will be week no matter what Alba is out of form and came of from a bad season personaly, and the hunger to prove himself.
We could see him having a goal and two assists.
As for Barcelona they lost Neymar, who was a big part of the few things thay manage to win last season. They wil for sure be in some difficulties without him and with Andres Iniesta apparently being injujred and Andre Gomes as well i dont see the Barcelona midfield bieng able to contain Isco Kroos and Casemiro.
i belive it will be a 3-0 win for Real Madrid. With Bale CR7 and Isco scoring.
Barcelona is the dirtiest club in the world no doubt
Now u can see why enrique didn't play vidal he is not a player for a team like barcelona!
@fahsfjashf then why did he buy him?
@fahsfjashf neither is Pique

@nceshNcero Man, calm down, you've made a whopping 20 comments on this game. Chill out.
@nceshNcero Brilliant idea to play Paulinho as a CDM, you can ask Tottenham all about it
@nceshNcero I only think we can get dembele
if we lose on wednsday. i hope we lose by a big score so that ernesto can wake up and put excuses aside. i fill luise enrique was always happy about performance even in a lose. i realy hope accepts really and open the eyes. otherwise this season will even be more worse.

I really hope Valverde will find something to help Barcelona win in 3 days
@MessiGOAT he did.......nt

@SteveHyland Lol, no evidence to suggest that would be true other than your opinion.
the ref is the perfect replacement for neymar.
@edemex lol I'm dead. It was so true!
I was spot on with my prediction. 3-1 #HalaMadrid
semedo could have made a better contribution than aleix vidal. man
semedo could have made a better contribution than aleix vidal. man
our right back was no where to be found defensively for both ansesio and ronaldos goals. vidal was wack for me togther with pique.

i cant wait to see what will barca do in the second leg. seriously. i cant wait for it. seriously.
ouR President should have given Neymar the sport light. he was then future. all that investment is gon now. messi and iniesta trained neymar for nothng damn. they need a star which will replace messi. a number 10 that will will be able to score goals. kylian mbappe seems to be the player together with dembele. i dnt know about countinho.

So how many games will Ronaldo be banned for his push on the ref?
Good play by real madrid. very very Good Game. i am so happy this match went. this will show the coach and the leadership in barca that we are not in Good form. especially how we play as a group. all barca players go for an attack but forget about a counter attack. all the time. we need to learn how to defend counter attack.
real madrid are just so great and barca on the other hand...thinks paulinho can save the club.pls barca...let me die already
@BarcaPlsLetMeDown we do need a strong player in the middle but with good passing abilities
I couldn't believe how bad the officiating was. It was a great game to watch in the second half unlike the first half. Kovacic was outstanding and he simply neutralized Messi while he was on the pitch. Casemiro needs to control his temper because once he gets a yellow card, his influence will decrease significantly.
The referee kept them in the game.
Why can't 12 players Barcelona beat 10 players Real Madrid??

@nceshNcero they have fallen since 2012...they had that one good year in 2015 but thats it
@BarcaPlsLetMeDown i hope the coach will be firm and see for himself what to do.
No win for Pessi
what a BAD referee, he probably hates Ronaldo, how can such people get the opportunity in such matches
Asensio will go down as a legend for Madrid.
oh what a f*** goal by Asensio
2 yellow cards for Ronaldo. 1 for diving and 1 for trying to show off his muscles, and then he shoves the referee after being sent off. No wonder the neutrals prefer Messi...
@Nico1 Lol, why did Whoscored get rid of the dislike button.
@ImADope just report it!
@proud93 Report my comment for giving my opinion? Who are you the free speech police?
Referee is a moron, this is why instant replay is needed.
this is why everyone hates refereelona
There is zero doubt there is match fixing involved. Hopefully an inquiry is launched . Ref is on another level
Wtf ? Is the ref stupid ? That was absolutely NO DIVE by Ronaldo, what a loser ...
Ronaldo the god of football
CR > Messi
@Patrikovic you wish . lol.... the guy who waits for the perfact pass and times offsides. i am sure thats what he does during personal training.
@nceshNcero WAITS .......aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa(((:
that 222mil went to that ref
@Lechiffre10 :D hahaha the best comment!!
@Lechiffre10 hahahahahahahhahhahahha
Clear dive by Suarez ...
I was laughing for 2 mins for the penalty.
deep inside Pique is a Madridista, what a nice finish, ..and it is well known that Shaqira is Real Madrid fan
Barcelona is just a puppet for Real, total domination by Real
may god be with barcelona fans in this moment
there is no fairness in football
The Camp Nou is so quiet
i just lost my money guys
Why is Benzema coming out... Bale has been useless
isnt that Busquet's second yellow?
if u want my advice put all ur money in barca win..2.20 odd......i already staked 1000$
Real is 30% weaker without Modric. Barcelona is dominating.
@Patrikovic Not really ...
This game is orgasmic
Something that pisses me off, why are Real playing in their blue kit? How retarded is that when they have a white kit that would make it so much easier on the eye...
@Kendev its about marketing bro
Deulofeu is going to make a fine replacement for Neymar, and Benzema is gonna shoot blanks again.
I'm going for Benzema show
My line up prediction was on point, except for Marcelo. Now let me see whether my score line prediction will also be in point... 3-1 Real Madrid.. #HalaMadrid
@Egbebot u r still dreaming bro..wake up..its a win for barca ..marke my word
@delpiero1100 What did I tell you? 3-1 Real Madrid.
I don't think Madrid will lose this. Real have gone unbeaten at the camp nou in the last 2 seasons.
@jefferee but they will not win tonight ..its impossible...Barcelona pride cant make them win...its about a numeral average rule...mark my word
has barcelona signed paulinho or the news are wrong?
@nceshNcero they've. What a bang average player for top club. I'm a madrid fan
@nceshNcero the deal is Done bro...he is on his way to Camp Nou
has barcelona signed paulinho or the news are wrong?
this will be a tough match. i saw real against man u. they will have lots of confidence, now that neymar is gone. is paulinho real is barc now.
Why does Barcelona not just cash out all 222mil from Naymar for Mbappe, and they would rule world football again? Oh yes, they want to be modest.
@Patrikovic Dont think Mpappe would make this big of a impact... jesus christ
@ksaviauk he is already better than Neymar, and will be multiple winner of ballon d'or, ...and jesus plays for City
@Patrikovic - The last part is funny, but already better? Because he had a great 1/2 year? Silly overreaction. Class os proven over years, not months.
How many Real fanboys here? Lol this predictions, easy Barcelona win, 3:1
@Pastore10 i dont know who predict 1:1 !!! he must be smoked some bad weed stuff
as always an entertaining game to watch real to win @ 3 - 2
@shakes u r dreaming
Personally, I will love to see Kovacic start in place of Modric, Theo in place of Marcelo and CR7 to start from the bench because he is not fully match fit. 4-4-2 formation: Navas, Ramos, Carvajal, Theo, Varane, Casemiro, Kroos, Kovacic, Isco, Benzema and Bale. I also will love to see Ceballos involved at some point in the game- I like him a lot. 3-1 Real Madrid #halamadrid
@Egbebot what about Nacho instead of Varane
@offside He will have to come on if need be
Give Deulofeu a chance and keep the 220 milion euros
@delpiero1100 i wud say if Barca had brains, they shud sign players now while prices are still manageable, next summer Coutinho could go for 191mil, think about that.

@offside true
@delpiero1100 Andre Gomez has his +, the ball glues to his feet and his short passing is flawless, physicall stature is good, ...but his shooting and defensive contribution is terrible.
real madrid win 2.1
eish barca,,, i hope its gonna be a good 2 legs of football, gonna be a good long season............ Death by benzema 2018, that walking goat needs to score in 1 of these games.

This will hopefully be an entertaining game. Expecting goals and quality football on both sides.
