Video of the Day: Barcelona vs. Real Madrid. 'Nuff Said!

Video for the day that is Thursday!

Needless to say, we've been slacking a bit this week at The Captain's Armblog, but I promise you, this video will make up for all of it.

Any time these two teams meet, they always manage to put on a show. Take that as good and bad.  Yesterday Barcelona and Real Madrid competed in the second leg of the Supercopa, seeing Barcelona pull out a 3-2 win to take home the cup. Clasicos are always tense and intense, but this one exploded in volcanic anger that saw Mesut Ozil sent off and Jose Mourinho sneaking up on a Barca coach to hook him in the eye with his finger. Childish, childish tactics, Jose. We really didn't expect better from you.

The scuffle broke out as a result of a nasty tackle on Cesc Fabregas courtesy of Marcelo, who was immediately sent off for the offending move. Real Madrid players clearly thought that Fabregas was feigning injury to convince the ref to draw the card, but as you see from the footage and because Fabregas hobbled out of the dressing room to meet the press with an ice pack pressed to his knee, there is no acting here.
