Real Madrid Vs. Barcelona 2011, El Clasico: Ronaldo Wastes Free Kick From Good Position

It's a little bit like a stroll through the wood for Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabeu. As it is, the presence of Pepe wandering around the midfield makes it like a stroll through the woods with an angry bear trying to chase you around and eat you. Anyway, this is as close to relaxed as a 1-0 lead in a Clasico will ever be. Real, incidentally, have just won another corner, raising their total corner count to something like twelve million. All of the previous ones have been wasted, and... they waste this one too. Seriously, though, the corner count is 8-0 Real, which is a little odd considering how much pressure the visitors have applied in the match.

Alvaro Arbeloa has just found himself in César Muñiz Fernández's book of naughty boys for an off-ball foul against David Villa, incidentally, but now Real Madrid have earned yet another dangerous free kick... which is totally wasted by Cristiano Ronaldo, who blazed well over despite the Barcelona wall crumbling. Odd.
