Ronaldo off the angle of post and bar from a freekick.
88 gone.
What a scything tackle by Arbeloa!
STONE COLD PENO⌠Barca robbed.
Adriano with an outrageous dive in the box in the final minute of injury time.
Cheat.
REF is an absolute cunt⌠giving cards to the whol Barca team at the end⌠absolute cunt.
Valdes sent off after the final whistle.
Shameful antics by the Qataris.
Corrupt refereeing in a Clasico to deny Barca as stonewall a penalty as youâll see. It was ever thus.
I guess weâll have to content ourselves with a mere 13 point lead over our rivals rather than a 16 point one. Oh well.
Barca are an absolute rabble these days.
Barca winning La Liga by a country mile while being coached by phone from a hospitable bed in New York⌠one of the greatest team and coaching achievements of our lifetimes.
An absolute rabble that are 13 points ahead of Royal Madrid.
Indeed.
just caught the last 15 of that
hard to know what to make of the game, Barcelona played like they were disinterested , however the disgraceful carry on of their players at the finish, the fact they had to try to cheat at the end to get on parity on the scoreboard and that their recent performances against Milan and Madrid have been very poor would suggest there is something wrong at the club.
Domestic European football leagues this season are a litte anti climatic as its only 1st march and the leagues in England, Spain, italy , Israel, germany and france are already over with only the runners up spot up for debate, its possible and indeed very plauisble to say Barca are completely disinterested with domestic affairs right now and the players just want to pick up the paychecks until the summer with the distraction of the champions league if indeed they stay involvedâŚ
At the end however of that game today, the looked a very frustrated and leaderless bunch.
i have gone on record here in stating that it was a poor Milan team that beat them in the San Siro, at i am not shifting on that, i previously gave milan very little chance in the Nou Camp even with a 2 goal cushion, however now i am not so sure.
Barcelona are rattled right now, they are a rudderless mess
World Cup winner with West Germany and former Royal Madrid goalkeeper Bodo Illgner and some Scottish guy who plays indoor football in the USA both utterly scathing about the referee not giving a penalty at the end.

think they are more tired than rattled mickee4by2⌠don´t think a team thats won 3 champions league titles in 6 years gets rattledâŚtheir players backboned the successful national team for last 4 years too âŚthey´ve just gone staleâŚhaven´t the intensity anymoreâŚthey are just coming back to the packâŚ
Exactly it. Theyâve been competing and usually winning at the business end of the big competitions at home and abroad for 5/6 years non stop as well as being the key players in unprecedented international success with Spain too. Something had to give eventually. They look totally fucked and have gone stale physically and mentally and will do well to hang on in la liga on current form. They havenât a hope against Milan.
They will certainly go down as one of a small handful of greatest teams of all time but probably needed the one more champions league to be definitively out on their own.

Their record against Italian teams is very poor, they were outclassed by Milan and Inter and they needed the referee to start making the rules up last season to get them past a patched-up Milan. I wouldnât be surprised to see Milan make the final of this yearâs CL. They have the tradition in this competition which I think is a massive boost to them and in Allegri they have an excellent coach. Milanâs only problem is that they need to keep Montolivo fit. He is crucial and have no alternatives in their squad if he is unavailable.
Milan beat Barcelona because they are a better team, Messi has shown that against Italian teams he is clueless and doesnât know what to do. He has been found out, the same can also be said about the likes of Pedro, Xavi, Busquets etc - they donât have anything special to their game. Iniesta is the only Barcelona player with a bit of craft and know how to make it in Italy. Barcelona have relied on match officials cheating to gather their success in recent years - even back as far as Rijkaardâs time. I remember Shevchenko having a perfectly good goal ruled out after Puyol fell over that would have levelled up the tie, then they had that semi-final against Chelsea a couple of years after which was disgraceful, and then you had the quarter final against Real Madrid which was the worst of the lot - Pepe sent off for nothing early on in the first leg and Barcelona go on to grab two late goals to take a lead to the Nou Camp. In the return leg Higuain has a perfectly legitimate goal chalked off which would have put them one goal up in the first half. Even in seasons when they havenât won the CL they have had ridiculous decisions go their way - Mottaâs red card at the Nou Camp when Inter knocked them out and a penalty awarded against Nesta when the ball wasnât even in play.
They owe their CL successes to being on the benefiting end of refereeing âerrorsâ, not to mention they are doped out of their eyeballs and play boring shit football.

Thatâs a very hysterical, childish post
Everything I said is true.
its laughable rubbish is what it is. When a team dominates almost every game they play they are going to get penalties/opposition players sent off. Thatâs just a fact of the game. You might not rate barca as highly as most people but grow up a small bit
Barcelona and referees have cheated in order to make Barcelona successful, you seem to think referees cheating is acceptable - thankfully I come from a country where we look to tackle corruption and bring those responsible to account for their actions. I didnât make up the incidences that have taken place, they happened.
You also shouldnât be posting when youâre going through your period, your moodiness is intolerable.
