Copa del Rey

[Vermilion]

Alonso has been woeful over the 2 legs. Super game that was

Too interested in grabbing opponents arms, and nudging and kicking them, he's like a different person when he plays Barca.

Xavi hoofing towards the end there, I hope Carra tells him to **** off publicly It took Real approximately 15 el clasico's + 75 minutes of tonight's match to figure out how to play against Barca, and they still couldn't win, ohh the misery...

Casillas, to Teixeira Vitienes: (referee) "You should go partying with them (Barcelona players)".

That's no way to talk to our future player.

Although I very much support Barca over Real, I do however feel for Real a bit as that was never a red card but they have only themselves to blame for missing all those chances in the 1st half. Furthermore I don't think Real performed extremely well, I think it was more that Barca had an off night & still Real couldn't take advantage of that...

Another amazing game. Could watch this every week.

Don't think it was a red myself, but Diarra should have been off in the first half anyhow....the ref really bottled that decision. Ramos had already made a few fouls before the second yellow, so I don't think the ref accorded him the benefit of the doubt with the challenge with Busquets, and was hankering to send someone off.
Pepe of course continued to get away with murder....got Messi booked for a nothing challenge, made a meal out of every challenge, left the foot in on more than one occasion - he's a complete and utter ******.

Barca in fairness should have had that game dead and buried, but seemed unusually out of sorts in the final third, and they certainly let an air of "game over" affect their closing play when Real started pushing hard for about 15mins. Having said that, Real should look at their behavior when they got themselves back to 2-2............niggly fouls, diving, constant moaning etc distracted them completely from pushing for another.....really amateur.

Watching the game after ours, I think Barcelona got complacent and thought they could do a 'Bolton' and just turn up.

They'll be mentally stronger for it, as will Real Madrid for their efforts, which of course means Barcelona will come out on top.

Mourinho quoted by Sky saying it was impossible to win at Barca.

Try telling Rafa.

Cant believe the ref didn't send diarra off! unbelievable, especally when he booked messi just minutes before for a much less worse tackle on Pepe (who is an utter disgrace by the way!!). I love Barcelona for their philosophy and simply because of how good they are, but im growing to hate real for the way they are conducting themselves under mourinho!
