FC BARCELONA 1 - REAL MADRID 0. Here is the video of the goal
that sealed the game by IBRAHIMOVIC 56th min:

SFS will dedicate tonight its summary to this match. Real Madrid
played the best 45 mins of all the season countering the midfield
& the ball control of FC Barcelona with great tactical placement,
concentration & excellent play that nearly paid off, had it not been
for a missed Cristiano Roanldo opportunity that could have changed
the course of the match.

But lets go back in time , why did Coach Pellegrini put on Higuain
from the start & leave Benzema on the bench? Why do I say this?
Higuain finally did little or nothing tonight.

Lets go forward. Barça brought on IBRAHIMOVIC in the 2º half & he
took his chance to score what turned out to be the winning goal in
the 56th min. Then an important moment, Barça Busquets receives
his second yellow & is sent off leaving his team with 10 men. Coach
Pellegrini then decides to take off Cristiano Ronaldo & put on
Benzema...everyone is baffled! Was Ronaldo injured? Didn´t look like,
so why take him off?

From here Barça regained control of the game & frustrated Real Madrid
to the point that Lass Diarra was sent off as well with certain irritation
seeing how his teams clear advantage had turned into a disadvantage.
Barça then went on to win & retake the Spanish League Top spot on the
ladder.

Real Madrid Coach Pellegrini has justified - post match press
conference - his decision to take off Cristaino Roanldo with the
medical excuse from World ankle specialist & Ronaldo´s doctor,
Dr.Dijk who advised that Ronaldo should only play 60 mins tonight.
SFS does´nt buy it, nor does it buy Coach Pellegrini decision to put
Higuain from the start over Benzema as well.

SFS watched tonights game & comes to the conclusion that Coach
Pellegrini is not the man for this proyect. His decision tonight to take
off Ronaldo with Barça down to 10 men was for SFS unexplainable
& crucial in their loss.

Having said this, excellent game from Barça Captain PUYOL who was
magnificent tonight & showed his pure class. Plus, congratulations to
Barça Coach Guardiola who reacted with logical answers
(the Ibrahimovic change) to their difficult situation & knew what to
do under the circumstances. Real Madrid has improved & showed a
better image , but lost to missed chances & some outragous Coaching
decisions (again!) Tweet
