Barcelona 0-0 Real Madrid: 5 hits and flops as El Clasico ends in a goalless draw

2. Flop - Luis Suarez

FC Barcelona v Real Madrid CF - La Liga

Luis Suarez this season has been an on and off player - when he is good, he is really good, but when he is bad, he is horrific. Today was a bad day in the office for Suarez, who contributed nothing of significance for the Barcelona attack and often looked isolated upfront as he cut a frustrating figure.

Suarez attempted just 30 passes and completed merely 70% of them. Although the striker had 3 shots, none of them troubled Thibaut Courtois and he missed a great chance which could have put Barcelona up early on in the game. Suarez got booked for a foul and lost the ball the most times today. Overall, it was a bad showing by the forward who usually performs in big games.

1. Hit - Marc-Andre ter Stegen

Ter Stegen was his usual, consistent self yet again

Barring Lionel Messi, no Barcelona player has been as consistent and as good as Marc-Andre Ter Stegen since the start of last season. Today, it was another fantastic display by the German shot-stopper who has become a wall for the Catalan club.

Although the keeper had to make only 3 saves, they were three big saves from powerful shots by the Real Madrid players. Ter Stegen parried Casemiro's long ranger and Valverde's rocket hit, and the ball never left his grasp once he collected it. Even though this was a 0-0 game, Madrid was by far the more threatening side but the goalkeeper was equal to their talent.

Ter Stegen's distribution was also good, as he received more touches of the ball than the likes of Suarez and Greizmann, and he was able to produce 5 accurate long balls which kickstarted the Barcelona offence. When the Catalan club does not score, they can be assured of at least one point on most occasions due to the brilliance of their keeper, who proved today why is he is arguably the best in the world at his position.
