This is a belated post regarding El Clásico which took place last month, on 13/12/2008. Barca were at home to their bitter rivals Real Madrid. They won 2-0, courtesy of late goals by Eto'o & Messi. Both goals came in last 7 minutes. Eto'o stabbed home from close range. Then Messi scored with a wonderful chip which a Real defender tried in vain to clear - the ball was probably already in before the clearance was attempted.The 2-0 win was no more than Barca deserved, as they were attacking for most of the match. Eto'o had a penalty saved earlier during the match, but made amends by opening the scoring late in the game. Real Madrid went into this match with new coach Juande Ramos at the helm. They can point to 1-2 good chances to open the scoring & defended well to keep Barca at bay. That is, until the 83rd minute, when Eto'o struck. I guess there was only so much defending they can do, but once Barca scored, that was it. Overall, a Barca win was fair. And the result is one to savour for Barca fans like myself :)
