Joan Laporta reveals Florentino Perez's reaction to Clasico result

Florentino Perez looked surprised at the result in El Clasico. He didn't expect it," Barcelona president Joan Laporta has told Mundo Deportivo.

"They [Real Madrid] faced a winning mentality and tactically superior Barca led by Xavi. And the team were very well-prepared physically. But he [Xavi] was exemplary," he added.

Well, Laporta shouldn't get too comfortable as there is still a 12-point gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona in the La Liga table.

However, we must admit the Catalans looked really good last time out. Let's see if they carry this form into the last stretch of the season.
