The Spanish media have unsurprisingly taken another swipe at the Italian game after the Champions’ League Final.
The tight affair between Milan and Juventus gave the Spaniards the perfect excuse to once again criticise calcio.
"It should be outlawed that two Italian teams face each other in the final of a European Cup, seeing as having one there is already a tragedy for football" wrote ‘AS’.
"A new rule should be introduced stating that whenever two clubs from Italy play each other in Europe they should immediately start warming up for the penalty shoot-out."
Madrid based paper ‘Marca’ also weren’t impressed. "The Theatre of Dreams became the scene for a Serie B clash," it claimed.
‘El Mundo Deportivo’ were less sarcastic in their analysis. "There couldn’t have been a worse game," it said. "Yesterday we saw the evolution chain of football snap."
The Spanish Press have constantly heckled the Italian clubs in Europe this season for employing what they described as ‘catenaccio’ style tactics.
That despite the fact that the four Italian entrants this season – Milan, Juventus, Inter and Roma – have all beaten Spanish clubs in this year’s competition.
:fero: :fero:
This is amazing. Can't they accept that they lost? It's not enough that the italian teams have made the spaniards look like fools, instead of shutting up and seeing how they can get better they are whining and attacking Italian football.
I'm guessing that they didn't watch Juve-Real
Losers
Even though we lost in the final, at least italian football has won...
Forza Italia :cheesy:
