Real Madrid Vs. Barcelona 2011, El Clasico: Last-Ditch Adriano Tackle Robs Ronaldo Of Goal

Lionel Messi gets the better of Marcelo on the Barcelona right, but the Real Madrid left back threw a hand up to stop the ball from being dinked over his his. Marcelo was penalised for handball (it's nice to see the referee getting a call right), but then Messi decided to be a little bit of a child and wave an imaginary card around, which was disappointing. The booking was given and deserved, but we don't need to see that from a player as good as Leo Messi.

Cristiano Ronaldo, meanwhile, has been denied a gilt-edged chance following a strong break by Madrid. Pepe robbed Messi of the ball in the middle and eventually the ball found Marcelo, who fed Ronaldo as he was surging forward into the penalty area. The pass, however, was just the slightest bit too heavy, and Adriano was just barely able to nick in ahead of the Portuguese superstar as he was shaping to shoot.
