Baptista is clearly a much better choice then Gago in the center. My question is, is Sneijders contributions enough to keep Guti out? I tend to not think so, so I wonder why Guti has been on the bench the last two games.

Great Analysis Steve. I’m glad we both agree about Baptista, he did more than merely justify his existance in the starting XI. Not only was his goal a Classic Beast Goal, but he added much more fire to the attack than what we’re used to seeing from Madrid this year.

Not impressed with how much the attack suffered after the half. And if I had to pick a fall guy, it’d be Guti. Then again, he hasn’t been starting recently, and when he’s put on sporadically, his performance is typical sporadic.

A great performance, i didnt see Pandev’s goal, i passed out from exhaustion. The Pepe hand ball was to strict, it was ball to hand, but Casillas showed why he is the best keeper in the world.

What would a Real win be without a few ABSOLUTLY FANTASTIC saves?! Perfect ending.
