shocking Mourinho will be furious without all credit to Pedro Rodriguez he got into the box took on Marcelo the ball wasn't a great one but we l onessi lurking that's the danger of this what happens Cannon's about Pepe completely makes a mess with that I don't Madrid might be asking for a foul on Pepe but I don't see one the crowd erupts into a frenzy the stage is set and now the real show Begins the game turned into a tactical master class with both teams probing for weaknesses tension was high as they searched for a decisive goal the last minutes of the first half were marked by numerous fouls with Pedro receiving a yellow card there was excessive ball control in the Midfield and no significant opportunities except for two plays by Barca that ended in nothing as the second half came to an end an important decision was cooking in the stands seated there was none other than Chik Monsour a tycoon who would make a decision that would change football forever but what he was about to see in the second half made him fall even more in love with the sport this is what happened the second half begins and it's game on Messi stops the child's play and starts showcasing his real talent does come through Le Messi goes round Ramos with e both Barca and Madrid approached the area with a lot of danger generating controversial actions which the referee allowed to continue belowa goes down on the edge of the box and he's given a corner there a smile from Iniesta after a couple of minutes with both teams creating chances Ronaldo approached the Box only for Serio buett to come right behind him earning a yellow card Barcelona fans did everything to make Cristiano Miss Even pointing lasers at his face but will he miss Ronaldo straight into the wall yeah he flopped it straight into the wall in the 59th minute Messi was fouled near the Box the perfect spot for a free Kick the stadium held its breath as Messi stepped up but will he miss going to be Leo Messi in the back of the net 2- on to Barcelona Leo Messi gets his head in front what a remarkable free kick from the flea Le Messi makes it 2-1 and if it is Paul a battle between the two greatest players in the world at the moment Advantage Leo Messi yeah with half an hour to go up that's just curling away from M hits the side netting in the end absolutely astonishing free kick Messi curls a beautiful shot into the top Corner look at that ball smoothly sail over the defense and into the corner ah Iker Casia stood no chance Ronaldo is visibly disappointed and Mourinho isn't having it just like that Messi gives bar Barcelona and Edge it's 2-1 now and this match is becoming an epic Saga it was time for Ronaldo to unleash his skills Ronaldo yeah not that or or that my boy Ronaldo was having a hard time coordinating his feet immediately tempers began to flare the intensity increased even more due to the mering's disadvantage only a few minutes after the goal who do you think showed up to vindicate himself great ball through to Ronaldo he makes no mistake 22 Messi to Ronaldo two absolutely extraordinary that's why they call it the super Classico and uh two great players in the world today neither of them want to give up the crown Ronaldo's got his second now it's it's look to see that's the risk you play if you're not playing a central defender in central defense it's Adriano to be fair Montoya stopped if Adriano takes a step forward he would have got he would have caught Cristiano offside so it's just a little mistake there must be kicking themselves after there two goals from Messi and two from Ronaldo in a match that will be forever etched into the history of football with 20 minutes left the tension was palpable Anything could happen then in the 69th minute Messi had another golden opportunity ball for Alba Alexis waiting Alber turns leam Messi I think that was half a shot cross and he didn't quite only a couple minutes later Iniesta had a chance inesta agonizingly across the face of the goal finally cleared by Marcelo shot wide Barcelona finally managed to take control of the ball creating many more chances than in the first half some doubt Marcelo not knowing what to do Messi over the top bit too much to ask wasn't it for him to get even though Barcelona showed much more possession in the second half Real Madrid kept creating opportunities to score Ronaldo he gets the cross in in a nerve-wracking moment Montoya displayed a wonderful shot from outside the box only for it to hit the crossbar Pedro and finally oh from Martin Montoya what a moment that would have been for the that would have been extraordinary man was that close even Messi couldn't believe it in stoppage time Pedro tried a shot from outside the box can Pedro get it he turns around he's going to try the shot just wide what a finish that would have been in the closing seconds and this is how Messi and Ronaldo stared in what many consider the greatest confrontation between the goats in the Spanish Derby the match ends with mutual respect as Messi and Ronaldo exchange a knowing look acknowledging each other's Brilliance after after witnessing a remarkable match
