Barcelona 0 - 1 Real Madrid


Last night Real Madrid defeated Barcelona in Camp Nou Stadium, 1-0. A sad loss in front of the majority of the 98,000 persons in attendance and certainly NOT the holiday "gift" Barcelona was expecting, being favored for the match-up.

The single goal was scored in the first half by Real Madrid's Julio Baptista from Brazil, giving Real not only the eventual win but also a 7-point lead in La Liga.

FC Barcelona has a short Christmas and New Years break until hosting visiting Alcoyano on 2 January 2008.

Barça meets Real Madrid again in Madrid's Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on 7 May 2008. Let's see if FC Barcelona can turn the tables.

Sad defeat indeed. One thing is certain, this time we lost, it was no accident, we lost the game and we weren't able to do more so we were clearly defeated and there is no more to say. This is a game and you should be able to know when you lose. So it is our turn to work on our weak points and make it better next time. One suggestion for Rijkaard, sell Ronaldinho for Christ sake! Congrats to Madrid fans, no matter how sad it sounds for me to say.
