Very, very, very painful defeat (1-2)

One of two: or a TRUE miracle happens, or we get leagueless this year. A very practical and effective Real Madrid managed to take the three points in the most important match of the season.
Things began like in every Clásico: Barça has the ball, Madrid has the chances, and, usually, the first goal.
As soon as the match began, but, it could be seen that something was missing, and that was the damned last pass, the one that leaves you alone against the goalkeeper.
Barça having the ball, but Madrid being the first to warn: only in minute 4: Özil takes a corner, Ronaldo "lob-heads" it over the defense, and, somehow, Valdés reaches it in order to send it to corner.
The first signal that noticed that this match was going to be a disaster was the first goal of the "merengues", by Sami Khedira: Özil takes a corner (again, as it's one of Real Madrid's best weapons, they're extremely powerful on aerial game), Pepe heads it, Valdés blocks it, Puyol takes it, and while thinking to who was going to pass, Khedira, showing a lot of cleverness for a defensive midfielder, just pushed the ball inside the net. OMG. That ain't no good, believe me. Then, Madrid shelled themselves in their area, always trying to find a chance to use their best weapon, the counterattack.
Minutes would pass, Barça would have few chances, and then, after entering for Xavi, Alexis, in minute 70, would end up scoring after a mess of rebounds in the "merengue" area. Phew... We still have got time, so, let's go for it!! But the drawing happiness would be ephemeral: only TWO minutes later, Ronaldo wins the position to Mascherano, catches a very long pass by Benzema, dribbles past Valdés and scores at pleasure. A lethal thrust. Just after drawing... That REALLY HURTS.
Barça kept trying and trying, but finally they couldn't recover from the deadly moral strike given to them by CR7. and CR7 himself had the 1-3 in the last sigh of the match: death pass by Benzema, and Ronaldo, having won the position to Puyol, tried to push the ball in, but, being almost in point blank range, he did the most difficult thing: sending the ball way over the crossbar. Phew...
I wonder thats what the portuguese superstar wanted for years. I hope you'll be happy now, Ronaldo, you've just RUINED us the league season.
So, I hope that we now will be able to look to the next match, the UEFA Champions league semifinal's seond leg vs Chelsea FC at home, more calmly, knowing that almost all possibilities of league comeback have just faded.
So, next Tuesday, 20:45, TVE/TVE HD (only broadcasted by them), at the Camp Nou, Barça-Chelsea.
So, that's all for now, folks, see ya after the Barça Chelsea!!
