"Some of the crueller critics began comparing him to fellow countryman Denilson, who joined Real Betis as the world's most expensive player in 1998 but fizzled out into one of the most costly flops in footballing history."

I wouldnt' call Denilson a flop. It's not like he's playing Iceland now or anything. And it's not his fault Real Betis were willing to shell out stupid money. Betis has always been the working class team in Seville and they had some money and wanted to show it off, especially to show it off to Sevilla. Denilson was their bling.

Did Real Madrid show up to play in this one? Messi seemed to live up to the billing, but Ronaldihno stole the show of course. Barcelona just took it to Madrid. Very embarassing for the Galacticos I would say.

You can't stop Ronaldinho. That was truly amazing. The second goal was crazy. He left the last defender just standing there. He just put up his hands and gave up.
Still, Real was clearly off their game. I had hoped for more of a fight. Oh well.

I think this picture says it all for my boys.

That does say it quite well. The still image I would like to find is one of Iker after Ronaldinho's second goal. He just kind of put his hands up in the air as if to say what could we do about that? I thought it really summed up the opinion of the Madrid defense for the game.
