First half was quite boring and vigilant from both sides, though after Ronaldo scored, the game opened up and the second half turned out to be a great contest. Barca equalized 2 minutes after that leading goal, and then scored another 2 (their third being the particularly spectacular one, with a brilliant pass by Iniesta and Xavi's finish).
But then came the moment of Valdes who ruined the promising 2 goal advantage for Barcelona. He foolishly tried to run past Di Maria with a ball, but Di Maria took the ball and scored. What a dumbass, that Valdes.
The weakest of Barcelona squad, was Alexis Sanchez, though. Very weak in one-on-one situations, making inaccurate passes and DIVING LIKE A MUTHAFUCKA. I could have sworn some time ago that Busquets was the king of diving in this team, but Alexis is just becoming a very talented student of his master art.

Totally agree about the first half, and Sanchez. I also agree about Busquets but I'm too big a fan of his to say anything critical about him. And yeah, what was Valdes thinking?!?
But once Barca clicked I just thought they were fantastic.

Speaking of Xavi, I heard a rumour that the powers that be at Barca want him to take over as manager when he retires from playing. I'd so love for that to happen.
