This past weekend, Barcelona faced Real Madrid in another edition of el clasico, the name for their rivalry. Only twenty seconds into the match, Real scored on a giveaway from the Barca keeper. However, from that moment on Barca were in control.
Despite being one goal down at Madrid's stadium, Barca moved a defender into an offensive position. This allowed them to dominate the heart of the pitch known as the midfield. This move paid off because Barca equalized around the thirtieth minute and scored two additional goals in the second half for a well-deserved 3-1 victory. Their performance can only be described as symphonic or melodic, and they made it clear that they are still the best club in the world.
Win or lose, they have a lifelong fan in me and in Nicholas, who was so inspired by Barca that he drew the masterpiece above. In it, his favorite player Xavi is holding two medals. I think Xavi is going to need a few more hands...
Forca Barca!
