Real Madrid vs Barcelona - Classico, Cup & Champions League

[gufreestyle96]

haha Madrid won in Copa del Rey, but Barça will win in UEFA CL.

[Royal Freakiness]

if kaka, ozil, c ronaldo, adebayor are the front men in these matches... 

stupid dependence on messi in the last match. I really hope guardiola does something to counter real's defensive tactics, coz messi can't do it on his own.
I was really impressed by Pepe. What a defender.

Champions League match is coming up in an hour.  Can't wait!

Here is a beautiful animation of the 5-0 Barca win from a while ago:

arrrgghh!! lionel messi is unstoppable! Seriously, how do u stop him?
Referee made a shit decision though for pepe's red card.
Well, now for sure we will see an attacking madrid in the second leg. The 1st leg was so boring except the 2 goals. 2nd leg will be excitng though.....my prediction: 3-2 to barca. With a hat-trick from the Messiah!

Huge decision by the ref that completely swayed the game.  Pepe deserved a yellow, but not a red.  He held is down in the middle and made life hard on Xavi.  As soon as they lost Pepe, it was over.

Barca might be the best side in Europe but they're fucking disgraceful. Rolling around, acting, waving imaginary cards ... the list goes on.

And yet another game where when it's not going exactly as planned the ref helps out a bit and pulls out a red.

A fucking stretcher?! Gimme a break, Alves.

yeh agreed, pedro and alves are a disgrace. Marcelo accidently stepped on pedro's knee and the way pedro cried in agony i honestly thought he had a career-ending injury or smth. But 1 minute later he was making a run down the wing at full speed
But madrid players can be accused of the same things. Di maria and marcelo asked for yellow cards every time the ref blew the whistle for anything at all. And Di maria took 2 blatant dives during this match as well.
Casillas made some really awesome saves btw.

really? i red from this game in the news and it sounded like interesting game to watch? 

and about all the crying and acting, it's part of football nowadays, you must be able to not stomp on no ones foot even by accident, or do it so referees can't see what you did. if you play you should know it

barca had about 70 percent possession and most of it was in their defensive half of the field. Only in the last 20 minutes the game started to get more lively after barca scored and madrid tried to stop defending so much. Most of the game was barca making sideway passes and backward passes while madrid sat back.
And yeh i realise football is this way now with all the acting and diving but i still think it is wrong. It wastes time for fans who want to watch pure football. Alves needed to be stretchered off which took about 2 minutes and then he was magically healed 5 seconds later. Pedro took even longer to get up. Also, it is cheating and give football players the reputation of being soft cry-cry babies.

this can't be first time you are seeing these magical healings (halleluja!  ). so why are you making this one so big? if you can get someone lose a player with you acting, wouldn't you dive? according to your logic every single players are cry babies then?

No I would never dive. Not my style.....but i kinda understand why some players would do it. I know winning is really important and it is just a game anyway ......but still i think it spoils the football spectacle.
I'm making this one big because it was sooo ridiculous!! A stretcher?! Most players roll around a bit then get up and walk it off like a man. How far will this acting stuff go? Next we may see players pretending to be dead or smth and lay motionless for an hour. I don't want to see these things when i turn on my tv to watch football. Waste of my time tbh. 
And i don't think they are cry babies cause i know they are just acting, but i'm sayin they give football this soft cry-cry reputation among fans of other sports.

[Palgi]

i get your point, but it's just very big advantage to be theatrical, so why not to do it?
and there's HUGE amount of situation where player "gets hurt" and lies down for 5 minutes, goes on the side of the field, and then come's back in full force... and even if you really get hurt, if you don't break bones, you are able to play. Because the adrenaline you won't feel so much pain. The next day will be hell though this i have seen in my own experience :D

when is the second leg btw?
