Real Madrid proved themselves as strong contender after beating Barcelona 1-0 at Camp Nou. Thanks to Julio Baptista's only goal that separated both Spanish soccer giants. Now, Madrid are 7 points ahead Barcelona.
It was clear that Barcelona missed the magical touch of Lionel Messi. Ronaldinho and Deco, expected to be key players, pointed out that they are now only fringe players for the Catalan side. On the other side, Madrid only lost Guti due to injury but still capable to play well.
Frank Rijkaard must realize that his team is no longer a dominant side in the La Liga. He must have a deeper look at his teams. Players like Ronaldinho and Deco are no longer at their best form and seem to have lost their motivation. Rijkaard should consider to give youngsters like dos Santos and Bojan more minutes on the pitch. These two have great talents with high motivation to stand out and prove what they are made of. Bojan was introduced very late at El Clasico and he made an instant impact. I wonder why Rijkaard didn't pick Bojan in his starting line up. If things don't change until January, then we may see leaving Barcelona.
