Nah Madrid performance isn't worse imo , i just think El-classico is always an important match that both side takes serious and yeah, it's been on Barca side for a while but that doesn't mean Madrid is n't giving their best either .. i could remember a particular Elclassico  last season which was the Copa Del Rey Final, the 3-2 game (barca won) .. Realmadrid almost had it with 1-2 lead at 80mins plus but made some dumb mistake with their defence which cost them to draw and later got beaten same way in the extra time..  they both tried, barca just seem to be better when it comes to elclassico, let's see if this season will be same while under a new manager
