So you think Casillas has been better than Reina during this season?

Reina has been the best keeper in the PL this season.
Casillas is a top quality keeper, and IMO is probably the second best behind Buffon. A move to United with a decent defence would do him (and us) and world of good.

Nothing will tempt Casillas away from Real, not even £230,000 a week from Manchester City.

To be quite honest, all the 'keeper of United has to do is catch crosses and distribute the ball well, Casillas is decent at both, but he's a puncher, surely the former Madrid 'keeper, Diego Lopez would be a better option in England?

It all could have been different id Drenthe didn't bottle his first half one-on-one chance.

regardless, I think Richard makes a good point. Drenthe ballsed it up and that would have made a huge difference had he scored.
I take my hat off to Barcelona and Pep Guardiola. In the first 20 minutes they played some great football and Real Madrid responded with unsurprising yet class-less bully boy tactics. Messi in particular targeted. They weathered it and merited their victory. I though Thierry Henry, so often someone who at Arsenal did not 'turn up' on the big occasions, was exceptional last night. Held the ball up superbly and linked with the midfielders very well. An excellent performance and honourable mentions to Yaya Toure, Messi and Rafa Marquez at the back. Even when Eto'o missed the penalty you still felt like the game was far from over and it was inconceivable the game would finish 0-0.
On the other hand, I think it was not a bad display from El Real. Their patched-up back four coped very well for large parts of the game - Metzelder and Cannavaro, considering how little they've played together this season, I thought were good value. Ramos at left back wasn't bad either. The midfield let them down though. I have said it before and I am going to keep saying it, Fernando Gago is gash. I know he is only playing because of injuries, but IMO Ramos needs to give Javi Garcia a run-out. Anythings better than Gago. He gives the ball away so often I lost count.
Top game, great atmosphere and Barcelona now look imperious. It is hard not to tempt fate by saying it is their title to lose. I doubt Real can come back from this, the only team I see challenging Barcelona now is Villarreal but they don't have the squad depth Barca do.

It amazes me that people compare Gago to Redondo, he's not fit to lace Fernando's boots.
When fully fit, and playing in a 4-4-2, what would be Real's midfield, in your opinion?
For me it would line up a little like this:
LW - Robben
CM - de la Red
CM - Diarra? Maybe Garcia?
RW - Sneijder
I'd probably go with. I don't rate van der Vaart much either.
