The Barcelona v Real Madrid thread

That effort that Messi had......when Alonso slid in......how many players in the game today would have stayed on their feet in that situation ?

Messi in an example of what is best in football

Suarez did on Sunday and it cost us a penalty. He should have went down, although I bet he would have if he thought he had a chance to hit it.

Diarra has been outstanding thus far, not much else happening from Real though.

Madrid should take Caravalho off at half time

[Exiled_red]

Carvalho is lucky to still be on the pitch, if he gets sent off in this game the only arguement can be that it should have happened sooner

I bocked him

Ridiculously easy. Not even out of first gear.

How the hell Carvalho hasnt been sent off yet is incredible. "Barca get all the decisions" indeed. Albiol, Diarra and Kaka all commited cynical fouls in the first 10mins and they wonder why they end up in trouble, but instead of looking at their own house they'll just play the victims.

Ref is clearly being very lenient.......probably under orders, or just using his own initiative, but can Real afford to take him off ?
He's the only decent defender they have

1 - Angel Di Maria completed 1 pass in the 1st half against Barcelona. Solitary.

True, but Messi had an opportunity to not only get a fantastic free-kick, but the ref could even have judged it in the box, added to the certain yellow card Xabi would have got...............but no. Purely because he had a chance to score a goal..........its not a one-off, he's probably the most fouled against player in world football, and yet he continues to play the game right.

The thing is, he probably will go off for an innocuous foul or even worse a dive giving Mourinho more ammo and the ref will only have himself to blame for not sending him off when he did deserve to go.
