Messi acts beautifully towards Ronaldo, Zidane admires Barcelona

(Baonghean.vn) – Not only did he assist and score goals, striker Lionel Messi also deserves praise for his performance and behavior in El Clasico at Real Madrid's Bernabeu stadium.

Before the end of the first half, Barcelona was awarded a free kick outside the 16m50 box and Lionel Messi's shot failed to get past the Real Madrid wall. The ball hit Cristiano Ronaldo in the face and the Portuguese striker appeared to be in quite a lot of pain. Immediately after that, Messi slowly apologized to his colleague by shaking hands with the Real Madrid striker. The Argentine star's actions left a good impression on the fans.

Not only that, on the day Real Madrid lost 0-3 to their arch-rivals, centre-back Sergio Ramos had a foul on Luis Suarez but luckily only received a yellow card from the referee. Meanwhile, Real's Daniel Carvajal received a red card after blatantly using his hand to block the ball before the goal line.

Specifically, in the 59th minute, Sergio Ramos, after running out of breath in a speed race with Luis Suarez, proactively swung his arm hard at the Barcelona striker's face. The Real captain was booed from the stands and received a yellow card.

After the match, a number of former La Liga referees criticized Sergio Ramos and said that this ugly action of the Real captain deserved a direct red card. The Spanish midfielder said: "Only those in Barcelona think I should have received a red card or worse. Losing this match but if you say Real failed in the Clasico, you should look at 2017 and the statistics. What disappoints me is that the gap is up to 14 points."

As for Real Madrid coach, Zidane was somewhat convinced after Real Madrid lost 0-3 to Barca in El Clasico in La Liga: “We started well in the first 45 minutes, so losing to Barca is a huge loss. However, that happens in football. We will not give up. It's not over yet.

Now we need to rest and not think about the defeat. We will enjoy time with our families and then come back. We made mistakes and defended very badly. In a game at a high level, that is noticeable. It is difficult to accept this defeat, but I think Real do not need to change anything," the French strategist affirmed.

After this bitter defeat, Real Madrid is 14 points behind its arch-rivals in the rankings (31 compared to 45). Although there is still 1 match left to play, it is difficult for coach Zidane and his team to defend the La Liga championship./.
