I don't think this is the best El Clasico I've ever watched, but Real Madrid is like playing against a mid table team playing in La Liga who are planning a defensive strategy to win the match.
Barcelona has no other options at the moment, especially since the hurricane of injuries befell 3 of its best players. As a result, Barcelona only planned to make it difficult for Real Madrid to find goals while taking advantage of the opportunities created during the match into goals. Barcelona had several chances, but only managed to score one goal until the match ended. Now Xavi has a stellar record on El Clasico, he has a good winning record against Real Madrid.
why is that because this is a form of strategy that Xavi does considering they are not too strong in playing aggressively because they are not reinforced by a number of their star players. I don't understand that some fans are not happy about this victory, but I have to appreciate the game scheme that was implemented by Xavi in this match because he really took advantage of away matches to find victory and that was his main focus after previously they had to be eliminated from the Europa League.
This victory is a big capital for Barcelona for the second leg which will be played at Camp Nou so you will enjoy the strains of a more beautiful and aggressive game when Barcelona is again strengthened by Lewandowski.
