That was the sixth yellow card of the game.
Alves, to Pedro,
Xabi, in Lomessi,
head down, drawing defenders, threading it through,
to Xabi, good save!
That's the side of the net and not the back of the net.
That would have been good night Real Madrid.
You know, rather than them making that run across midfield there,
there was three or four different options on
that Barcelona could have used.
You know, sometimes in those positions,
you're looking for one option.
And yes, there was here, wide on the left,
Messi's running through there,
and Spurs' Xavi, again,
making that forward run from midfield.
With two opportunities, can't get the third goal,
which will kill the game off.
Easy shot from the touchline.
A special one is a beaten one at the moment.
Yep, but not finished yet.
As I said, Roberts, you can't outrun Real Madrid off it.
Players like Ronaldo and Xabi Alonso,
they have too much pride, too much ability to give up.
They know one goal can get them back in the game.
The mood of the game can change dramatically
if Real Madrid get the next goal.
I'm sure that's something that Guardiola's impressed upon his players
during the break, as you said, Terry, in the first half,
no room for complacency, because you will be punished,
even off colour tonight.
Just takes a second to inch their way back into the game.
Messi there with a through ball to Xavi.
Just couldn't get the angle right on the finish.
Hits it into the side netting.
Emelianen must be finding this difficult,
it's not been often in the last ten years
that he's been on the receiving end of a team that's dominated possession,
that's creating chances, giving his defenders a real run around.
Marcelo to Diarra, runs into trouble.
Xavi. Benzema wins it back.
Diarra has been a busy boy since coming on.
Alonso.
Ramos can't steady him.
A shake between Diarra and Sergi Busquets.
Xavi.
Busquets to Iniesta, the Spanish World Cup midfield.
Here's the man who won the World Cup,
Iniesta, threading it through, Marcelo,
have to stretch.
...would have been onside.
Marcelo hits it long, they're just not finding Cristiano Ronaldo.
...of this.
So he has to hold his pass.
Now Messi.
Partnership comes, what's really blossoming now
from Lionel Messi and David Villa.
Far too much time afforded to the Barcelona attacking players
without Real Madrid closing them down.
Very line work there again on trying to use an offside trap.
David Villa had time to run across the line,
hold his run, right to the perfect moment.
Villa was leaning offside,
and still arguing that he was offside.
He wasn't waiting around.
No, I'm fully in the striker's union.
I think it's a benefit should go to the attacking player.
Wonderful first touch to take it away from the defender.
Head down, gets the technique right,
drives it towards the far post.
Goal scorer's instinct, top top striker.
The casualty of that move was Pegues,
who's been receiving treatment since the goal was scored.
Iker Casillas for his argument with the referee afterwards.
Both goalkeepers have been booked, it's that kind of game.
Puts in the cross, Benzema came early.
Alves, aware of his bearings, just helps it out.
See the frustration there on Iker Casillas.
Barcelona have been absolutely awesome tonight.
1-4 in possession.
As you said, they got eight goals last week against Real Madrid,
but this is three stunning goals against Real Madrid, unbeaten this season.
Getting very smoothly with Lionel Messi.
Received the pass inside the fullback.
Essentially then it becomes a one-on-one versus the goalkeeper.
It was a miss, a superb goal.
This team are really, really special for Jose Mourinho and his troops.
You see that wonderful pass from Messi,
but it's the angle of the pass, it's the movement of David Villa.
And of course, let's not forget the finish.
Outside of the right foot, underneath the advancing Casillas.
Drops his shoulder, jinks past two defenders.
Hold on, there's a back pass there and Iker Casillas has to come off his line.
It's Sunday league defending from Real Madrid.
It is, Rob. They're on the ropes.
This season they've dominated all the games they've played in.
And I must admit, I haven't been convinced this season about Real Madrid.
I was waiting for a real big test.
This was their test tonight.
At the moment, you have to say they're failing it miserably.
Thank you.
