Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Jude Bellingham made Pedri and Gavi cry following 4-1 defeat against Real Madrid..
Real Madrid have now scored four goals in two of their last three matches against Barcelona, having also done so in a 4-0 win in the Copa del Rey semi-finals in April of last season.
That matches the number of times they had scored four goals against Barca across their previous 73 meetings!
Toni Kroos was exceptional again tonight, and the whistles he received from Saudi fans will have just added to his enjoyment.
The German ran the game, as he so often does. He had 76 touches and completed 62 out of 65 passes attempted, along with recording three tackles, two interceptions and one blocked shot, which made for an impressive performance, as usual.
But they do not tell the full story of Kroos’ influence both in keeping Real Madrid moving and stopping Barca completely.
