Barcelona Performance the Best Ever - Ipswich Town News
Town manager Roy Keane has hailed Barcelona’s 5-0 victory over Real Madrid in Monday’s El Clasico as the finest performance he has ever seen. Keane is a big fan of La Liga, believing it better than the Premier League.
The Blues boss said: "I enjoyed it as a spectacle, I enjoyed watching the game. It was probably the best performance I’ve ever seen.
"I’m still quite young, I’m only 39, but in all the years I’ve watched football — and I’ve played in some decent games and some big games - that was by far the best."
Keane is also a big fan of former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho and sympathised with him — and Blackburn boss Sam Allardyce — having been on the end of a heavy defeat himself at the weekend: "I wouldn’t say I took any great satisfaction from seeing Jose Mourinho suffer, but there’s hope for us yet.
"It just goes to show what can happen on any given day. Big Sam Allardyce is to me a top manager but he lost by seven at United.
"It happens to some managers, particularly to young managers starting out. I know that when Harry Redknapp started out as a manager he got beaten 8-1 or 9-1 somewhere.”
