Is it just me that feels that the el classico is boring? I'd rather watch league 1 football

It's pretty hard to have any possession when everytime you make a tackle, even when you win the ball, Barca get a free kick. That being said some of Real's players don't look very interested in the game. It's hard to see anything other than a Barca win, but you never know.

They're nothing like as bad as before this time. In fact, Real have been guilty of some pretty cynical tackling, especially on Messi and Carvalho is a lucky man to still be on the pitch.

 

[Dennisch]

Doh, that's the end of the game.

 

[Nielg5]

gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal

 

[VeyronR8]

Good goal as well but I wanted it to go to extra time and maybe penalties.

 

[Dennisch]

It just plain sucks that Ronaldo isn't even half the player he was in Manchester.

Then we would have seen 2 way awesome action.


Nice... Now go on Real!!

 

[VeyronR8]

Another goal, Marcelo 1-1

 

[Dennisch]

Is it just me, or is De Bleeckere a bit Barca minded?

 

[VeyronR8]

But Real are the more, how will I say violent players.

 

[Dennisch]

True, but even with the slightest touch the Barca players are rolling like 50 cent on 24" rims.

 

[VeyronR8]

Lol, fair enough but there have been quite a few bad tackles on Barca players.

 

[Dennisch]

It's the only way to keep those nasty little blue-red dwarfs out of their game.

 

[VeyronR8]

Lol, hate when players do that though, they fall rolling on the ground and then when the other player gets a yellow card they just get up.

 

[Dennisch]

That, and the rest of the team screaming for a card

It's so annoying to see.

 

[VeyronR8]

The last match was a disgrace.

A simple fair tackle and the whole team ran for a card.

Well, as Brazilians say "Banho de Bola"- Ball lesson- from Barça...They're the top Team right now...and Messi is a ball gremlin.
I would love to see F.C. Porto against them this Year...when we'll face them next Year for the UEFA Supercup we won't have our best players, that much I'm certain off.

That's going to be a real dive match, maybe the UEFA should hand out scuba masks for that game

Great to see Eric Abidal back on a pitch less than 2 months after surgery to remove a tumour on his liver 👍

 

[VeyronR8]

Barca are through to the final, hope Schalke beat United.

I agree, Barca got all the decisions in the first leg and all the decisions again in the second. There was no good reason reals first goal was dissalowed, Ronaldo was fouled and on falling he touched the Barca players leg and then he fell. The ball was already past the Barca defender. The ref should have either played advantage for the foul on Ronaldo or pulled it back for a free kick to Real. I don't like Real but they've been deal very unfairly with in this semi-final.

Yes it's boring, all that talent on the pitch doesn't always translate to a good spectacle.

Good goal as well but I wanted it to go to extra time and maybe penalties.

Yeah it was a good goal, I was hoping for Real to take it into extra time too, but Pedro's run and contral were good for the goal.

Is it just me, or is De Bleeckere a bit Barca minded?

It's not just you.

But Real are the more, how will I say violent players.

True, a couple of the Real players are dirty tacklers, but a lot of the Barca players are dirty divers. It's a shame because they have the talent to win trophies without playing dirty.

True, but even with the slightest touch the Barca players are rolling like 50 cent on 24" rims.

Yep, Mascerano at the end must of rolled about 7 times holding his leg, then he jumps up and runs to the ref perfectly fine. I'm glad I don't support a Spanish team, it would annoy the hell out of me watching theatrics like that all the time. I watch some La Liga games but I don't follw it all the time.

Another Porto fan! What's up!!! I bet you liked today's news about FC Porto being 3rd best team in the world, behind Barca and RM.

Cheers!
Yep WE'RE THE BEST.

Well, maybe 3rd best

 

[VeyronR8]

Thought united or chelsea would have been in the top 3

 

[cuco33]

My fellow Porto fan is right. The party responsible for footy stats and rankings gave our great club the #3 spot in the world. Rightfully so and not just cuz im a fan. I mean they thrashed villareal 5-1 last week! Anyone who has been following Porto would see this year is magical for us. Coach andre villas boas was mourinho's assistant who already broke mou's record at porto. So far undefeated in the league, in fnals for portugal cup and have a leg in the finals of the 'peewee cup' aka europa league cup. Just top notch run we got going on now and I wished this team were in the cl. Come summer... a whole lot of transfers will happen.

Hat-trick for Raul... Let's do this.
Just want Man Utd to lose so that I can wind up my mate.

👍

Go Raul!

 

[Aldo]

In the words of James May: Oh cock.

Edit: Double cock.

 

[Dennisch]

Indeed, now Raul really needs to make that hat-trick.

Nevermind. 4 goals will not happen.

 

[Aldo]

What a goal! Absolutely fantastic finish!
3 more of those please lad.

 

[SmittMan]

Could turn out to be an interesting match, 38 minutes played 2-1 (4-1 agg.)
