They most definitely did not.I think Real played in 2nd or 3rd gear for all of the first half and much of the second.
What they did do was change their system in an attempt to nullify us, as Pep changed our tactics to nullify them.
We went to the home of the most historically successfully team in the CL, where officials consistently favour RM players, with heat we rarely play in, and a crowd demanding the blood of our players every time the go near the ball, and restricted them to a few chances and actually scored (something they had stopped for near on 6 hours of play).
We intelligently avoided the trap we feel in to last year.
Both teams were playing in top gear, they were just driving to a different destination than some blues wanted.
