The anecdotes of a crazy Classic: flood, Messi trembling …

How could it be otherwise, 'El Clásico' left anecdotal images. To begin with, the night started as if it were the very battle of Helm's Deep. A universal flood began to soak the Alfredo Di Stéfano's lawn, giving greater ethic – if possible – to a game that was expected to be the key to the fight for La Liga. Meanwhile, Atlético de Madrid awaited their turn for Sunday, hoping for a favorable result such as a draw and, thus, finally hacking the domestic championship.

Precisely, that rain caused one of the most curious images. Leo Messi approached the band to ask to change of a Barcelona shirt that had soaked. While waiting for a new one to be brought to him, the Argentine was shivering, a portrait that soon became viral on social networks, with people understanding the situation of the Argentine or hitting him (accusing how little he moved). A '10' from Barça that was close to scoring a masterpiece, touching the Olympic goal in a corner kick that he bounced during the first half, which was only avoided by the post.

The match official, in case it were shortly after what happened during the week (with Mateu Lahoz's injury), also played a leading role. In this case, Jesús Gil Manzano had to stop the match for a couple of minutes due to problems with technology. Coincidentally, in those added minutes that he had to add to the chrono at the end of the game, the Barça youth squad, Ilaix Moriba, crashed a ball on the crossbar, touching the Barça comeback in a 'Classic' that did not disappoint the spectator. Real Madrid took all three points to give La Liga a blow, positioning themselves as the new provisional leader, in the absence of what the rojiblancos do in their battle at Benito Villamarín.
