Barca and Real Madrid played the latest edition of the clasico, and this one was a sight to behold. Barca returned to its possession style play en route to a 4-0 dismantling of the whites. The scoreline actually flatters Madrid as this game could have easily been 7-0, were it not for wasted chances by the Catalans.
While Barca did dominate possession like they did in years past, their attack was different this time. Rather than the ball flowing through the midfield, it flowed to the wings and then into the box time after time. These were not simply hopeful crosses. Rather, the wing players cut inside and disrupted Madrid's backline time and time again. All the credit goes to our coach Xavi Hernandez who has turned this team around in just a matter of weeks. Barca is now recognizable again, and a sight for sore eyes!
Only time will tell us if this win and the way Barca won herald a new, rediscovered identity. I can't wait to see what happens next!
