Barcelona..

How poor are they in the transfer market?

Eto'o-Ibrahimović €45.5m+ loss, Chygrynskiy €24m, Keirrison €14m+, Sánchez €37m, Song €19m…

Destroyed tonight

Shows how thin their squad is, have money to spend but haven't spend it wisely at all, it's what I don't get in Spain sometimes, letting a player go then buying him back? Here it never happens. Solid performance from Madrid though, looking a better side than previous months

On that evidence the Madrid can turn united over

Madrid looked far better.

Barca's passing never got going tonight.

On the subject of transfers, I much prefer Madrid's policy of signing any big name that isn't available regardless of whether they'd fit into the team.
