Rofl, what match were you watching?

The Barcelona defence could of been asleep and not conceded a goal, Madrid had no attacking threat whatsoever.

Barcelona dominated the fuck out of that game, and should of won by a country mile.
Barcelona werent that much of a threat either, they played their usual possession football. Real on the other hand were playing extremely well in positioning, breaking up Barca's play and probably looking for the counter in the last 15 minutes. The red card changed everything in favour of Barcelona and Messi had all the freedom in the world.

What was Barca doing? IIRC they had two chances. One was from distance and Casillas saved the other. Who cares of domination? In the end the result counts and if Pepe wasn't sent off. Mark my words Barca wouldn't have scored 2-0.

Are you Mourinho in disguise? I heard the same argument from him even though he's done more than enough Champions League games (especially at Chelsea vs Liverpool and Manchester United) where he would defend in the home leg for 90mins and then try to win the second leg on away goals rule (or by simply getting 1/2 and not conceding).

Barcelona were by far the more threat, it was only Madrid practically having every person behind the ball for 70% of the game that prevented it from being a football match.

What's your point? Barca didn't do much because of Real defending, and Real didn't do much because of Real defending.
Yes, thats why as I said earlier on, it was a terrible game on all accounts.

But Barca were in no danger of losing that game, whereas Barca would always create some chances to win it.

Mourinho is honestly, tactically inept, people wanna go on about how good tactically he is, games like this show that, that is aload of shit. Even before the red-cards happened, which frankly was inevitable anyway, they were getting outplayed and there was only going to be one team who was likely to win the game.

And Mourinho is fine not winning the game or not trying, he's done it before and its worked out in the past.

That's better.
Mourinho was going for the classic put Kaka behind the forwards and attack the last ten minute-tatic but never got the chance to do it. I agree that he fukced up but I wouldn't say it's a load of shit to call him a good tactican. He should have attacked as it was Santiago Bernabeu but he payed the price for it.

I have just saw a replay of the match. I hate the way Barca's players surround the referees and go down holding a body part that wasn't touched every time in a cheap attempt to get players booked/red carded. I have no respect to a team with the likes of Sergio, Pedro, Alves, and etc. They are disgusting to watch. This is not beautiful football, this is disgraceful football. I am so glad hockey playoffs are around, real men playing a sport with no diving and acting to get calls. I was more excited about the Boston Bruins and the Montreal Canadians, than this rubbish called beautiful football. To hell with all their passing and whatever, a team that dive, act, whine all the time is just too damn annoying. I am not bitter, I do appreaciate Ac Milan of the late 80's and early 90's, Bayern and Man utd of the late 90's, those team didn't put the same act that Barca players had for the last ~5 years. Football isn't winning, football is losing its dignity, that's if there is any left, thanks to the likes of Barca and Inter in recent years
