Four brilliant goals.. and what a big second half from the team.. hats off to Cardoso for a big impact in the game and the same to Victor for bringing him on.. Lucas is a goal machine and just keeps on scoring.. Superb game by Depor!!

[D.TRISTAN]

From 0:2 to 2:2. Now there's a spirit that we couldn't see for many years.

Amazing. No more words to say.

[The DK Blanquiazul]

Cardoso was quality today. He absolutely epitomized the spirit of always fighting and providing quick, dangerous play. Apart from that, what a performance. The fact that we were close to getting the win is tremendous (if Lucas was that little bit sharper when it comes to getting onside..).

Brilliant game, man of the match ARRIBAS.
By far the best player on the pitch. The defence is much better with him. Sidnei was good too, and Laure was the one that looked like a clown in the first 70 minutes in the attacks of Barcelona. He was totally outplayed by the opposite players, but was good got better after we scored our first goal.
Barcelona didn't show nothing, both goals were individual skills, and I can't remember a season when Messi didn't scored a freekick against us. Jona was afwull today, despite chasing the opposite players all the time. He don't had enough strength for the duels with them, and had few bad passes in the counter attacks. Cardozo entering on the pitch was the key moment. They already celebrated the win and with our first goal we put the prerssure on them. On the end I'm sad that we haven't won the game
Bravo boys, you are making me proud every (ok, almost ) week

Nice comeback. Please if anyone can provide us with extensive highlights as I missed watching the game once they are ready. Excited to see how my depor did. Well they did fantastic as the score suggests but I want to see how they played too. Really happy for the score.

Evem at 2-0 down, I thought we had played pretty solid. Was pleasantly surprised how well the 4-4-2 worked out, defending narrow and conceding the wings to Barca. Two (minor) individual errors from Lux and JD opened the gates for them, but apart from that we did well to hold the most fiercesome attacking side in world football.

Sidnei was immense at the back and Alex had a great game in midfield and Lucas up front. These guys were the spine of a great team effort.

But Cardoso changed the whole game around. His pace and direct running caused havoc in their defence. He still needs a little more composure in the final third, especially when shooting, but his rawness and energy are great to have in the squad.

Well done to the coach again. Set the team up properly and his men on the field never gave up and we might even have won it at the end. His subs were spot on and his gameplan too.

We've seen enough evidence to suggest we're a serious team. Now we just have to convert some of the draws into wins. Even against the bigger teams.......

its amazing we came back form 2-0 to 2-2...we started to play good and agressive after 65 min...jonathan doesnt deserve to be a starter

cardoso needs to play more and gain confidence and experience

even without 3-4 normal starters we showed team spirit and football qualities and deserved the result absolutely


vamos depor

I thought Jonathan was pretty decent today, despite missing some good chances.. he is still a very young player and he has really matured since the start of the season.. another thing I really liked was Lucas' presence of mind to pass the ball to those in better positions..

[ggeorg]

ok, the tradition is already here, but not keeping it with endless draws. Let's start winning as well, otherwise Barca would think they can be competitive....arrogants

[nitraM]

I can't believe I missed this game....... AHHHHHHH

This is the Deportivo that we want to watch

[niklaso]

What a game. It's even more great when you think about how barca trashed real and Roma just some weeks ago.
Could have been very nice if Lucas could have been on the right side of the offside late in the game.

[deporenrique]

1- Arribas and Sidnei are huge!
2- Amazing tactic from Victor, with Fajr right in front of busquets when they have the ball. They couldn't go back to him.
3- Lucus is top class, and I liked Jonathan, he just needs to grow as a player, and he will learn from games like this.
4- We have quality wingers, and Cardoso was added to the list today. He just needs to work on his composure at the time of shooting

[Deporlover]

Greaaaaaaat game
Sad that we draw , too much draws
Great coach and great players , best were Arribas, Sidieni, Alex, lucas and Cordosa
