Barcelona 1-2 Real Madrid: 6 things we learnt from El Clasico

Luis Suarez showed a sign of things to come when he missed an open goal at a time when Real Madrid pinned back. Lionel Messi, even during Barca spell of pressure and superiority, failed to make any sort of impact and the only memorable thing ‘La Pulga’ did was to magnificently place the ball on the top-right corner, which was dealt with equally beautifully by a Keylor Navas save.

Neymar showed glimpses of class, but couldn’t stamp his authority like he almost always does. In short, MSN were quiet. And it was understandable.

The international break was a hell of a journey for them. They spent more time in planes than on the football field and the fatigue from the jet-lag kicking in was inevitable. And that is exactly what happened.
