It was a very humiliating defeat. Seriously, Juande should’t haven’t take the risk and now he is losing the title to the mighty Barcelona side. But, he shown a real character by closing the gap to Barca until this match. We can’t win it every years anyway.

Casillas 8.5 – The best Goalkeeper againts possibly the best Barca side. I have so much respect for San Iker, he kept the side from conceding more goals in a very skillful way indeed. Saludo the Saint~

Ramos 5 - Proved to be a liability in defense, often been raped by the veteran forward, Henry. But, he have shown his credibility in attack with 1 assist and 1 goal. If it’s not for his awful defending, he then can be regarded as the best RB in the world. 2 goals caused by him.

Cannavaro 4.5 – He got that skill to defense, but cannot sustain with a pacey attacking trio as he grows old.

Metzelder 4.5 – He is in a very tight situation as to adapt to Juande new line of tactic, but shown a glimpse of hope which falter.

Heinze 1.5 – Why would he is still be in this squad? He is prone to errors, this is proved as he caused 2 goals for Barca.

Robben 7.5- He is one of the threats by Real Madrid. Often confusing defenders with his skills.

Lass 6 - If not for that 1 goal caused by him, he would have a higher rating. Very promising Defensive Midfielder indeed.

Gago 3 – Often giving away possesion cheaply, and his blazing passing cannot be seen. Were quite anonymous in the game.

Marcelo 7 – He is good in the attack often threaten Barca with his skills. Still young, and he can shine in the future.

Higuain 7.5 – Often been regarded as a hero, but last night it was a close call as weak backline hampered the chance. Very promising youngster.

Raul 5.5 – Shown a lot of hardwork to score a goal but never works.

Subtitutes

Huntelaar 4 - Never knows why Juande switch him with Robben. Anonymous in the game.

Van der Vaart 5 – Shown a real glimpse of hard work by winning the ball and making it to attack. Anyway, the funny thing about Van der Vaart is that he got booked after 5 minutes
