The legendary London "Arsenal" club's head coach Arsène Wenger commented on the recent "El Clasico" match, which ended with the home team's victory 2:1:

"It was somewhat a battle between men and boys. The "Real" team's defense was significantly stronger than that of the "Barcelona" team.

In attack, the Madrid team looked like they could score at any moment, while "Barca" did not seem as effective.

The Catalan team controlled the ball for a long time, but never looked like they could score. Too many sideways passes and few risky episodes against a well-organized defense. They lost a lot of duels."

The "Real" team is now five points ahead of the "Barcelona" club after the victory.
