Real Madrid get us up and running (Sami Khedira gave the ball away within four seconds) in the second half here at the Santiago Bernabeu. It's still 0-0 in a much tighter match than the reverse fixture, when Barcelona famously won 5-0. Both sides have had some real chances to score, and Barcelona are probably unlucky not to be 1-0 up after a clear penalty was turned down by referee César Muñiz Fernández when Iker Casillas sent David Villa tumbling, but on balance of play so far a draw is just about right.
Real Madrid Vs. Barcelona 2011, El Clasico: Second Half Kicks Off
Unsurprisingly, Barcelona have started the half composed and assured in possession while Madrid are dropping off and letting them have the ball, clearly hoping to catch their visitors out on the counterattack. There’s already been a bad foul, with Angel di Maria taking out Dani Alves and not getting the card he deserves. So it’s just like the first half, you’re thinking? Yes, yes it is. Carry on.
