Barcelona had several opportunities to seal the shootout however with each failed attempt - looked ever so nervous. The drama filled penalties included every player on the field having a shot - even keepers Casillas and Valdes having a go.
However today was again Real Madrid's day - claiming bragging rights for a promising new season.
"I am pleased with the final result." JM said after the game.
"But I am not pleased that we let them control most of the match for maybe 70 - 80 minutes. This was disappointing."
Barcelona looked in complete control for much of both halves without success. It wasn't until the a tired looking midfield of Iniesta and Xavi were replaced did Madrid begin to look threatening. Enough so to even having their own chances to steal the match in the 90 minutes.
SB was clearly disappointed with the loss however would be more than pleased with the effort of his team today.
