Clasico: Arsène Wenger chambers Barça

Yesterday, Real Madrid took a five-point lead over FC Barcelona in the La Liga standings after their 2-1 victory against the Blaugrana. A well-deserved success according to Arsène Wenger. The former Arsenal coach even allowed himself a little joke about the Catalans.

“The Clasico felt a bit like a match between men and boys. (…) Real Madrid's defense was much more solid than that of Barça. In attack, Madrid always looked capable of scoring, while Barcelona looked ineffective. They had a lot of possession, but never really looked like they could score. (…) I give a lot of credit to Xabi Alonso regarding Real's defensive balance. He did it very well“, he declared on beIN Sports.
