The Real Madrid was a Tsunami in the first half, although Messi could score

Although almost one hundred one thousand souls spurred from the minute one to the FC Barcelona in the Classical, the true is that the Real Madrid was upper during the first 45 minutes in the Camp Nou. In a first time trepidante, Varane was about to to mark with a finish of head that Hammered took out under sticks. Fede Valverde and Casemiro also upset to Ter Stegen from out of the area, whereas the white group rondo the Barcelona area during big part of the time, recovering quickly the possession of balloon thanks to his high pressure.

The FC Barcelona also was near of the goal, although it was in a played punctual that Sergio Bouquets desbarató. Leo Messi finished 'in extremis' to empty door, but the one of Beds achieved to clear the shot for disappointment of the Camp Nou. Few approaches more had the Barça, excepting a centre raso of Jordi Alba that ready it was to find striker.

In general lines, the ones of Zidane were more concentrated and ordered on the terrain of game, distorting the exit of balloon of the Barcelona and forcing to Ter Stegen to look for constantly to Luis Suárez in long. A formula that did not finish to go out of the all very to the Barça, since in the majority of occasions the whites recovered the spherical without problems.

Gerard Hammered sustained to the FC Barcelona baling out balloons in defence, so much by high as by low. Rakitic, besides, was about to to commit penalti with an agarrón to Raphael Varane that in the previous day, against the Real Sociedad, already served to the referees to signal a penalti against the culés. In this occasion Hernández Hernández and the VAR decided to do the fat sight.

The FC Barcelona, underneath of the usual level

The question is that the FC Barcelona was moved away of his usual level in the first 45 minutes, partly by the good tactical work of the Real Madrid. This first time, in fact, could have similarities with some that already has lived the Barça this campaign, as when the Inter of Milan visited the stadium culé in the second day of the phase of groups. In that occasion, this yes, the 'nerazzurri' went by in front in the marker.

The ones of Valverde survived this time to the power of the Real Madrid in the first time, receiving the orders and corrections of the 'Txingurri' to the rest to go out more enchufados in the second half. Seen the toneless performance of the culés, needed the rest like water of May.
