Real Madrid 2-3 Barcelona: Fans React
Real Madrid lost the third game of their ongoing preseason, but this time to archrival Barcelona in Miami, America.
Real Madrid, already out of contention for this year’s International Champions Cup trophy after losing their first two games had nothing but dignity and pride at stake going into the match.
Both teams named strong starting eleven. Lionel Messi, PSG target Neymar, Luis Suarez, Iniesta and Pique all started for Barcelona.
Madrid started the game on the back foot, and were two goals down in the opening seven minutes, with goals from Rakitic and Messi giving Barcelona an early lead.
Mateo Kovacic fired a shot past Jasper Cillessen in the 15th minute to give Real Madrid a lifeline. Parity was restored when Marco Asensio equalised nine minutes from half-time after a swift counter-attack.
Defender Gerard Pique restored Barcelona’s lead in the 50th minute. And that was the end of goal scoring actions in the highly entertaining match at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.
Barcelona lifted the ICC trophy, ahead of Manchester City that finished second, with Real Madrid finishing bottom of the eight-team table, failing to notch a point.
Here’s how fans reacted to the match on Twitter:

It's embarrassing we sold Morata, the only decent forward the team has now is Cristiano 😳

Neymar couldn't score because his mind is at PSG, good to see how much trouble he was for us knowing we won't face him in the league anymore— TheCRonaldoFan (@TheCRonaldoFan) July 30, 2017

I'm fuming, we still haven't won a preseason game yet. I wonder if we'll even beat the MLS All-Stars at this rate... #HalaMadrid— TheCRonaldoFan (@TheCRonaldoFan) July 30, 2017
