Marc Casadó has definitely 'graduated' to the elite of football in the best possible setting. At the Santiago Bernabéu, against their eternal rival and in an 'aggressive' context, the youth player offered a real 'recital' in the centre of the field, where he not only took charge of distributing the ball cleanly, but also of cutting off Real Madrid's attacks, tasks that he carried out with resounding success.
In fact, the Barça '17', totally consolidated in the Barça midfield, crowned his great performance with a new assist, the fourth of the season. The footballer demonstrated his brutal vision of the game and his delicate touch of the ball by filtering a spectacular pass to Robert Lewandowski so that he 'opened' the scoring against a Madrid team that could do little to counter the player from Sant Pere de Vilamajor.
The footballer has 'kicked the door' with a performance to remember, demonstrating an extraordinary personality taking into account that it was his first Clásico and that 'just' four months ago he was playing on Second RFEF pitches with the Barça reserve team.
Casadó remembers La Masia
In the mixed zone, Casadó spoke about Barça's risky defensive approach at the Bernabéu. "It's incredible to have the balls to have the defensive line so high. We've been doing it all season, the defensive work of this team is spectacular. It's incredible and at the moment it's working for us," he commented.
On his impressive breakthrough into the first team from the Barça youth system, Marc said that "we know that this club always produces very good players from the youth system, I don't know how it happens but it always comes out..."
"... The work at La Masia is spectacular and that's why we're so prepared for the elite"
Finally, the midfielder analysed Carlo Ancelotti's controversy with the Blaugrana bench. "We went out to celebrate the 0-4 and as soon as I turned around I saw that the Madrid bench was angry with us, but we didn't say anything to the rival bench. We behaved quite well when it came to celebrating the goals," he concluded.
