![]() ![]() David Alaba's wonder goal broke the deadlock and Lucas Vázquez added the second with a minute to play and Barcelona's defence camped in the Madrid penalty area. Not that Madrid were considerably more threatening. What does seem clear is that unfortunate Luuk de Jong is not the answer, the Dutchman getting five minutes at the end of the game instead of a chance to get on the end of some of the crosses sent in by Jordi Alba and Sergiño Dest, whose primary target in Barça's current state seems to be Gerard Piqué. Real Madrid moved to the top of the Liga table - pending the result of the match between Atlético and Real Sociedad - with a 2-1 Clásico victory that put a two-game haul of just one point for Carlo Ancelotti's side firmly in the rear-view mirror and left Ronald Koeman with more question marks than the Dutchman needs with his side languishing in eighth having scored only one more goal than Osasuna and the same number as Rayo.īarça's lack of an attacking focal point, at least until Kun Agüero gets fully up to speed, was again the difference between a positive or a negative result with Barça creating plenty of chances but lacking someone with that innate instinct for the back of the net that Messi, Griezmann, Luis Suárez et al previously supplied.
