I only saw the second half of the game, my homie called and said Barça had dominated the first half. We walked into the bar just as Pique scored. But it looked like Real defended tough (and we were tired/making uncharacteristic mistakes) and they burned us on the counter. Our passing didn't look sharp.

Benz took his goal extremely well. There was some good fortune in where it fell, but that's not to take away from his composure in that situation. It was a great goal.

I thought we'd take it when Ramos got sent off.

We almost always look 'bad' coming off of international break. And Real needed (and from what I saw wanted) the win more than we did.

We're still winning the league, so if that's the consolation ya'll need for coming in 3rd, I get it.

If we see ya'll if CL, things will look different. I'm sure of that.
