Barcelona

[Mackem19]

Congrats to them for reaching the Champions League final, however i will not respect them as a team until they are capable of beating a good side in a two legged match without help from officals or diving antics,after all they are meant to be the best team in the world so surely dont need to do it anyway right?

Search. Barcelona.

Bingo.

I can understnad some of the views from the 2 legged semi finals but Barcelona are nowhere near as bad as that usually. It doesnt make it any better but do people actually have examples of this or are you all just bandwagon jumping?

Barca have some terrible cheats in Dani Alves, Mascherano (who I thought was the same at Liverpool) and Busquests, they also have some admirable players such as Xavi and Messi.

Do all of the worst cheats in the world play for Barca now then or not? Oh and I watch Barcelona, but don't support them before I get called a fan boy

Barcelona are clearly the best team in europe, Real Madrid started the first leg at home without a striker and camped in their own half. What should of been a great spectacle between two top teams with the best players in the world turned into a pathetic mess.

Barca should not of came down to that level but Mourinho and Madrid would of used any tactic possible to get through and are just as bad.

Lets see what happens in the final but cant see Man Utd winning.

Im not saying madrid are any better but 7 red cards in 9 games vs Mourinho is a disgrace.

Quality defending is just as much a footballing art form as quality attacking. I was loving watching Mourinho's tactics in the first leg before Barca decided to cheat. Barca ruined the spectacle for me that night, no one else.

So Pepe rolling around play acting to get Mascherano (who I detest btw) booked was fine?

So many posters on here are whining nearly as much as the Madrid staff and players, pathetic girls who are blaming anyone but their own 400million pound squad.
Ronaldo saying they would have won if the officials were fair is almost hilarious.

Yep, Ronaldo attitude is pathetic (big surprise - not!), but Pedro, Dani Alves, Sergio, Mascherano and Pepe SHOULD all be looking at long bans.

It's a real shame that the cheating is getting more press than Messi's genius.

It wasn't "fine" by any means, but what Barcelona did was much worse in terms of frequency. They did it to a such a level it had a direct effect on the result. And I think Barca are a fabulous team and club btw, which makes it all the more galling to take.
