Too bad, Madrid should score at least four. Barça came about only in the last 15 minutes. Really good match so far.

Pique. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Just another trophy for The Special One to tick off the list.

LOL, the Barça players are like 'whatever...' (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Barca had a 2 goal lead in a competition Jose doesn't even care about and still couldn''t win.

15 different competitions entered and 15 different competitions won. Greatest manager of all-time even if he retires now. But he will continue to pull away for the next few decades. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

You do realize Barça had won it three consecutive times until now. I'd say they were the ones who didn't care about it.

Yup, spoilt brats. Bet you none of them lost sleep on it too.

That's generally what the losers say, yes.

Didn't care about? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) That would be untrue even if he was playing anyone else, let alone now against Barcelona.


(IMG:style_emoticons/default/puke.gif) I hope not.

Labeling a team that's won 14 trophies in the last 4 years as losers is hilarious.

Eh, I may be wrong, but Kurt quite possibly meant Barcelona as losers yesterday. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) I don't like them one fair bit, but the only time I'll call them losers is when referring to their dirty antics on the field and pressurizing the referees. Other than that, they've been one of the most dominant teams of all time.

Quite a few people/teams that lose give off the vibe that they did not really care for a particular match. Particularly if it is a (relatively) meaningless trophy like the Super Cup.

There's no way either team did not care.

It took teams a while to finally figure Barca out. They should have looked back to Rangers in the CL in 2007, being the first side to hold them to a clean sheet in something like years.

Then more recently Inter figured it out then went onto win the CL.

And then we did it ourselves and got a 2-2.

The world's caught onto Barca, and Real have surpassed them.

I really like Madrid now and find myself increasingly supporting them.

Speaking too soon Danny boy. if it wasn't for a Valdes brain fart, Barca might have won it. not to mention Barca and Real's respective positions in La Liga right now.

I think Pep's absence may be hurting Barca more than anything. he gave them that extra confidence that Vilanova can't.

Yes.


Agreed. Madrid celebrated and Barca players looked gutted. ardly actions of players that don't care.

I think it's fair to say Madrid have found them out to an extent. If you pressure Barca, it doesn't matter how good their players are, they struggle. Aside from 3 refereeing gifts in 20 seconds, you'd think Osasuna were Barca last weekend, Barca have generally struggled to play all too well against Barca in the last few seasons and even Arsenal and ourselves (again, refereeing decisions aside) would've knocked them out of the CL.
