I've seen it again, and I still can't change my mind. It's not a red-card, it just isn't, surely.

Never!! Not even if it were Inter in the final!!!



Ok, maybe I'd make an exception in that case, but I'd never route for United! They're on my worst list from England, right about next to Liverpool.

Madrid did not need to play such anti football its such a let down when a team with such great players is set out to play like that and at home , such a shame. At the end im glad Football won and the team that wanted to play won and scored two wonderful goals i don't care if it was Barca they were the only players on the pitch that wanted to have a go and they were the away team !!

Ah, don't start me on Liverpool! Words can't describe my hate for that club/fans/everything to do with it.

And some wonder why I think the CL is a joke.

I'm embarassed to call myself a football fan after that.

+1, imagine telling people new to the game these 2 are arguably one of the best teams in the planet, oh and this one is the best ever.

The way Pepe went in, combined with the way Alves went down... A lot of refs I think would have gone for the red, without the time to review the incident and pick it apart a million times on slow motion. Add to that the way everything was just boiling over the ref would have wanted to take control back of the game. Personally I think it was a red, it was just plain malicious and he had the intention to hurt Alves along the way.

For the ref though, I think it was 70% for the tackle, 30% to make a statement of intent to the other players and take control of the match again, because he had seriously lost it by then

Yep one team came to play the other came to do the opposite such a shame with all the talent Madrid have.

Yeah, because Real's fanbase isn't. Not at all. I swear, there's hardly a single big match thread in here where people supporting the losing team don't throw conspiracy theories around as soon as they've lost.

Sooner or later, there's going to be made a serious case for Pep Guardiola being the chairman of the Illuminati.

Yeah we know you do it everytime Arsenal lose (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

100% agree with you


For me United are just on a par, it's even worse, because atm Liverpool have nothing to be arrogant about, United fans are just (IMG:style_emoticons/default/puke.gif) induicing

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

No doubt the Barca players did a lot and did well to get the sending off.

I can't see how it is, I just can't.

+infinity. you just can't spend hundreds of millions of euros to buy all these top quality players and go out play like this at home (or away. no diff). when Inter did it, I was more alright with it. at least they played a great game at home and defended it in the 2nd leg. Madrid don't deserve to be in the final with this mentality.

Barcelona did not want to play, at least not until the 60th minute of the match. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Pep was scared shtickless, keeping his flanks back, playing Puyol as LB (who stayed on the same patch of grass for a 20-second stretch during the match along with his RB partner, in the first half that is). They would have undoubtedly played to win in their home, this I have no doubt about, and would have been the happier side walking with a solitary away goal. Got two in the end.

So yeah, it was individual brilliance that moved the scoreboard, and UEFA/refs that won the match.


+2005. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cry.gif) Liverpool and Chelsea (and their scumbag of a captain) I dislike the most, Liverpool a million times more than the London club. Arsenal and United I can live with.


Can't disagree with that if I tried. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Really could not believe what I was watching!
