There have been many great Barcelona games at the Santiago Bernabeu. But one game that really sticks out in my mind happened on Novermber 19, 2005. It was matchday 12 of the 2005/2006 La Liga season, and a big El Clasico match (as always) was underway. It was a brilliant match by Barcelona, coming out as 3-0 winners. Madrid were out-beaten; crushed; buried to the ground. Their first shot on goal didnt even come until the 76th minute, but by than, nothing could change the score-line. Already Barcelona were leading 2-0 thanks to goals from Etoo and Ronaldinho, but the best happened at the 78th minute. Ronaldinho, in a moment of magic, dances by the defender (whom I think was Sergio Ramos, but Im not sure) and coolly, brilliantly, slides the ball past Iker Casillas, who can only watch in horror as the ball rolls by him and into the net. It was a moment of pure magic by the magician that was so brilliantly done, even the Bernabeu gave him a round of applause. Never will I forget this moment from the man they call Ronaldinho.
