I've really not done this before but I really want to blog about it. If you do not like football, you'd probably die of boredom reading this post. If you are a Real Madrid fan/supporting Real Madrid during yesterday's El Clasico then you'd probably get very mad reading this post. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. and please no angry comments at me :)
Really me doing this post is so I could read this later in the years of how my 1st Clasico was like. Let's start.
I slept at 11pm (29.11) but didn't sleep all that well. I kept waking in the middle of the night because I was so scared I'd miss the game. Finally, at 3.30am(30.11) I got out of bed, had a piece of candy so I won't fall back asleep, sat in front of the computer for a while then finally sneaked downstairs with my sister's laptop in my hand.
You see there's a electronic gate thing on the top the stairs, we close every night so there's a barrier between the stairs and the top floor. I don't know if anyone understood that but the point is the noise it makes. I had to open part of the gate to get down (I didn't open it all because I didn't want to wake everyone in the house.) The 1st thing I tweeted after getting down was 'Got into the living room safely without my my aunt coming out of the room asking "Whatchu doing up so late?"' Later I found out that she did wake up from the noise, and she said she knew it was me so she didn't care much :p
As some of you follow me on twitter, you know I like doing 'live tweets' during matches. I mean where else do I express my feeling towards the game, I couldn't be screaming at 4am in the morning.
The Mosaic at Camp Nou.
I've been awaiting this game for like months! To be honest, I was really scared that Barcalona would dissapoint. I mean Real Madrid is a very strong team, never lost a game and was on top of the league table. Then Xavi scored on the 10th minute. Pedro at the 18th minute. Nervousness totally went away. Enjoying the game with a little bit more ease from that moment.
Also, my favourite commentator was commenting on the game. He is definitely a culé. I quote him "Ronaldo looks miserable." ;)
Then I see Ronaldo give Pep Guardiola a push when retrieving the ball from him. That certainly ticked me off. So low of him to do that. VERY DISRESPECTFUL. Valdes was definitely angry at this. VERY ANGRY. He walked away from his goal post! Then a row started.
(Is it weird that I enjoy these rows? To me, rows start when players are very into the game. I'll start feeling involved ;D)
They both got yellow cards because of the fight. Speaking of yellow cards, they were given out like candy on Halloween, almost every on the field got one.
During half time, I suddenly got very hungry. I went behind to get some nibbles. Very unsual of me to be hungry at 5 in the morning.
Okay, back to the game. I was very relaxed by then. The thing about the Barcalona players are very good at keeping possession. They always keep and eye-popping 75% of possession. Once they lose possession that's when I'll freak, they they get the ball back :) Also, I didn't see much of Ronaldo anymore :P
On the 55th minute, David Villa scored. By then I had no words towards the game. Villa hasn't scored in a while and seeing score, I kind of had this proud feeling. On the 58th minute, he scores again! Both with AMAZING assistance from Leo Messi.
Though Messi is not on the score sheet but he definitely was a big help in the game. He is the best player in the world and my personal favourite football player :)
While most of the Barca were awaiting for Villa's hat-trick. I was stil hoping there would be a chance for Messi to score. But Villa was substituted by Bojan. I really like Bojan he's very very good. Guardiola has been giving him loads of chances to play. Oh have I mention how much I love seeing David Villa go offside? He's always offside! That's not a good thing but I laugh everytime he goes offside :D
In to injury time now, then Jeffren, who substituted Pedro, sneaked in a goal at the 91st minute. I was like "ZOOOOMMMMGGGGG!!" I quote the english commentator "Icing on the cake." I also saw Pique hold up is hand to show 5 towards the crowd. <3
Just when you think things couldn't get any better, something bad happens. Sergio Ramos after fouling on Messi gets a red card from the ref. Then he decides to push Puyol in the face and gives a tiny push at Xavi's face. He was obviously frustrated. Man, I was frustrated at him. Then another row started since the minutes were ending almost everyone got involved. Some trying to prevent fighting of course.
FC Barcelona is now on top of the league table. Best match I've seen so far. Amazing footwork. FANTASTIC 1ST EVER CLASICO. My favourite goal was definitely Xavi's opening goal. Never seen anyone kick the ball like that before. Barca played very well! I am a proud culé!
