It doesn’t get much better for Barcelona fans than to put another one over on their bitter big-spending 
rivals, and if the Nou Camp was roaring, that invariably means that Lionel Messi was roaring.
Prior to the kick-off of ‘El Classico’, we genuinely thought this Boot Wars Special one could go either way, but it was soon clear that Messi’s Adidas F50 TuniTs were a more than adequate match for Raul‘s Adidas Predator Swerve boots on a goal-den night in the Spanish capital.
It puts a whole new gloss on the latest Boot Wars standings:
Joint 2nd – Joma Imperial (won 1, lost 0)
Joint 2nd - Nike Mercurial Talaria IV (won 1, lost 0)
Joint 2nd – Umbro SX Valor (won 1, lost 0)
5th - Adidas F50.8 TuniT (won 2, lost 1)
6th – Adidas adiPure (won 1, lost 1)
Joint 6th - Nike Mercurial Vapor IV (won 1, lost 1)
8th – Puma King XL (won 0, lost 1)
9th – Adidas Predator (won 0, lost 2)
10th – Nike Total 90 Laser II (won 0, lost 3)
