Really good game tonight - think both teams will be coming away happy. Real were fantastic in the first half and game should have been long over by the time Messi scored. Barca very good in second half. Nice little cameo for them from Song, lovely pass for the final Messi chance.

Barca have a deeper squad than previous years and with the likes of Alves, Villa and Cesc missing tonight they'll be very difficult to stop again. Real still top of the pile though, be interesting to see what they're like with targets on their backs. They'd been poor to date in the league, maybe this will kickstart their season.

Great finish from Dzeko

That goal was all about Yaya Touré 1-1 now fine finish.

Best team won Joe Hart should have saved that last goal.

Don't agree.
If anything he kept them in the game with some great saves.
Agree, Kompany ducked, he was to blame, cracking game.

Defender stitched him up.

There may have been a slight deflection?

That was a fantastic final 20 minutes of foot ball. Its a good thing I didn't give up after 70 minutes of goalless footy Di Maria was superb at times, the best I have seen from him.

Roy Keane on ITV thinks Joe Hart should have saved the last two goals. In fairness he was having a fine game before those goals.

Ah well sure that's that them.
King Keano knows all....

He sure knows all about goalkeeping, exhibit one Mr Craig Gordon.

From BBC

GOAL- Real Madrid 3-2 Man City - Cristiano Ronaldo
Unbelievable! Utterly unbelievable! They were staring defeat fimrly in the face but now Real Madrid lead. Cristiano Ronaldo cuts in from the left and fires a shot that dips and beats Joe Hart, despite the keeper getting a touch. Hart has been great in this game, but he could possibly have done better with that. Jose Mourinho responds to the goal by sliding on to the ground on his knees like a young lad at a wedding. Unconfined joy for Real but only pain for City.

Did anyone else notice when after the game they were discussing the 2nd goal and Keane was ranting about how Harte should have saved it,they cut to a wide shot of the fellas standing pitch side.
I could have swore I saw Southgate throwing his eyes up to heaven as Keane was lambasting Harte saying he should have stopped the 2nd goal.

Two late goals wins it for Barcelona.

Only for Joe Hart Manchester City would be losing this game by three or four goals.
