Immediate Reaction: Barcelona 1-3 Real Madrid; Liga F

Real Madrid won 1-3 against Barcelona at Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium on matchday 23 of Liga F. Below are my thoughts and views on El Clásico.

Misa started in goal. Méndez and Lakrar were joined as the CB duo, making the defensive line together with Yasmim and Antonia on the fullbacks. Toletti and Angeldahl started as the double pivot. Møller acted as #10 behind Alba Redondo who led the line, accompanied by Athenea and Feller on the wings in the attack.

The game looked fairly equal from the beginning. Barcelona did go on to create more chances in the first half but overall, there was much more prominent danger whenever Las Blancas went on to attack. On the other side, Madrid’s defense did a solid job defending inside the penalty area and Misa’s saves definitely saved the day. It was also a good performance from both the fullbacks and the wingers whose chemistry stopped a lot of the danger.

Later on, when Caicedo and Weir went on, they showed their brilliance and the importance of having their chemistry on the pitch. Antonia Silva was subbed off for Shei in the second half as she was limping off the pitch after a tackle inside the defending penalty area.

• 41’: GOAL (0-1) by Alba Redondo: A magnificent cross from Møller on the left found Redondo to make a beautiful header.
