Pleasure is nothing more than the relief of tensions.

The evidence helped

Burroughs

understand why he was living in amphetamine delusion.

It served the Real Madrid footballers to deny their end.

And also to enjoy the victory against a Barcelona that ended up in a wreck.

Disoriented and without any structure.

As shown,

Modric's

goal

that closed the game, with half a Barça team with crossed arms.

Zidane

, the Glasgow icon, so often accused of being a simple group manager, lectured

Koeman

, the Wembley hero

, at the Camp Nou

.

The reinvention of Barça continues far.

And no one survives his demons better than Real Madrid.

What for the spectator was extreme fun in the first act, for the footballers it was relief.

The fast-paced episodes that took place in both areas served to corroborate that

Benzema

is one of the best strikers of the last quarter of a century, and that few young people can guess as many star characteristics as

Ansu Fati

.

But the glare tends to blind realities that are not so pleasant.

Like that double Barça pivot incapable both of defending his back and of giving meaning to the game.

Busquets

could not run backwards, nor did he have the ball to carry it forward with any criteria.

Koeman, symbol of

Cruyff's

Dream Team

, preferred to cede possession to his rival and wait in his field.

Who knows if by obligation or by conviction.

Messi and Casemiro

At that time, Real Madrid still did not know very well what to do with a ball that in static attacks seemed trapped under the shell of a turtle.

And if the whites tried to advance en bloc, those defensive hardships already shown in their last defeats against Cádiz and Shakhtar were once again evident.

The recovered

Sergio Ramos

insisted on solving it every time Messi, after

Casemiro's

neck

, attacked with the whole field facing him.

But yes.

That looked like a guateque.

Because it allowed us to see how Real Madrid and Barcelona scored their opening goals in their first shots on target.

And only three minutes apart.

As for Zidane's team, Benzema had enough to find himself unopposed at the front to get the periscope.

He saw a gap between

Piqué

and

Jordi Alba

where

Valverde

could sneak in

, whom Busquets could never pursue.

The Uruguayan's shot on goal was only the consequence.

The Barça response, immediate, mixed the past with the future.

Messi attended to the unmarking of Jordi Alba on the left bank.

The play was not with

Marco Asensio

, the third attacker chosen by Zidane.

Nor with

Nacho

, condemned to suffering until he had to demand the exchange for pawn

Lucas Vázquez

.

Although it was still necessary for someone to come to crown Alba's assistance.

And Ansu Fati went for her as if life depended on him.

Ramos was left behind and Ansu, before raising his arms and starting to kiss the shield, made it clear that as a battering ram he is also a jewel.

The substitution of Griezmann and Modric

Memory is impossible without nostalgia.

Silence oppresses much more than noise.

Those footballers who made an era theirs live a time that may not be theirs anymore.

Even for very different reasons.

Antoine Griezmann

and Luka Modric had no starting place.

The former was defeated by the meritocracy imposed by Koeman.

Play who performs.

A priori.

The second, due to Zidane's need to find fresher legs.

Not so long ago Griezmann and Modric faced their national teams in the final of the World Cup in Russia.

Nothing moves faster than soccer.

While the French striker was trapped on the bench wondering when he went from blowing confetti to facing indifference, Messi was escorted by two 17-year-olds.

Ansu Fati and

Pedri

.

Although everyone changed their location.

Messi, before shutting down, took over the midfielder for whom Griezmann so sighs;

Coutinho

, who had in his head a goal of those who are not forgiven, passed to the left -although

De Jong

spent half a game covering his anarchy-;

while Pedri, in his most supportive version, had to manage as a false right winger.

Although nobody percussed more than Ansu Fati, a torment for the Real Madrid defense.

Modric's absence should only be interpretable based on Zidane's need to prioritize vigor (Valverde and Casemiro as

Kroos

squires

) without losing one of his forwards.

Marco Asensio did not respond to the confidence of his coach, while

Vinicius

encountered stiff opposition from another youngster, Sergiño Dest.

The American was flawless all afternoon.

Neto and Courtois as saviors

The most vertiginous section of the first act left two notable interventions by

Courtois

and

Neto

.

In the first, Messi, who has not scored a goal in a classic since Cristiano Ronaldo fled, executed Ramos with one of those impossible dribbles that mark a career.

Whenever they end in goal, of course.

And it was not so.

The Argentine's shot with the right was answered by the Real Madrid goalkeeper.

The aftershock was just as dangerous.

Kroos, always with the appropriate pass in the head, was the one who broke the lines of Barcelona.

Neto held the guy before Benzema's shot.

Messi still continued to squeeze Casemiro, who in his own way usually comes out unscathed from any of the situations.

The Rosario played it against the Brazilian and reached the area.

But Casemiro hadn't given up.

He threw himself to the ground and before taking

ten

ahead he

managed to touch the ball.

It was what it was all about to avoid the penalty.

The passing of the minutes grabbed Barcelona.

With no fans to lend him a hand, and after seeing how Ansu stayed within a hand-either with a crossed shot, or with a center wasted by Coutinho-, those of Koeman went out.

And Zidane saw it, who allowed, now yes, the ball to return to the opposite side.

The hardships are usually noticed in static attacks, never when one goes out into the mountains.

Lenglet's penalty

And the plan was already perfect when

Lenglet

came up with the idea of ​​grabbing Ramos's shirt openly from a corner kick.

An action that no one would have noticed in other times, but that video technology punishes in this new slow-motion football.

The VAR notified the referee,

Martínez Munuera

.

And he understood that he should whistle a penalty after reviewing the action on the television.

Ramos did not forgive.

There was half an hour to go.

But Barcelona was already as dead as Real Madrid was satisfied and happy.

Koeman lacked reflexes to correct himself.

He did it already in the twilight (Griezmann,

Dembélé

,

Trincao

and

Braithwaite

entered

), but snatching the game from Ansu Fati, not from Coutinho or Messi, who no longer appeared in the second half.

The Dutch coach ended up even taking out the rosary, and seeing how Neto got two goals from Kroos and another, already with his foot, Sergio Ramos.

The depression does not escape at the Camp Nou.

Nothing defines Barcelona more than torment.

How many times Zidane was shown the way to the scaffold, and how many times did he turn around.
