It was interesting to see cristiano ronaldo midway through first half raising his hands at the real bench as he didnt seem happy with the tactics mourinho had deployed. Mourinho ignored it, knowing what exactly he had to do. It was all about how Real came out to play and paid their own price.
The red card ruined their plans.

he could easily moveed his foot to the left and get the ball,instead he streatched it and aimed at Alves shin,
Yes, in 0.001 seconds you have all the time to think what to do and how to do it.
The bottom line is: It was everything but a straight red card. If all the Barca players didn't surround the referee this wasn't going to be a red card.
Now the question is why isn't any other team surrounding and pressuring the refs the way Barca are doing it? I mean, even if these tactics were a Barca invention, some other clubs would have seen them already and done them themselves. Yet they aren't doing them because if they try, and when they tried it, regularly 1 or 2 of them were yellow carded. Why aren't Barca yellow carded (EVER) for the pressure they put the referee under?

Because they are football. You can't show your cards to an abstract object :D

Exactly. He went for the ball and he got the ball first. A game changing decision in favor of Barca again, right when they were struggling to play their game. Pathetic.
I would have said he went for the ball too had his foot been placed differently. Even if he wanted to touch the ball lets assume, that's not how you touch the ball, that's called clumsiness.

same thing was against Chelsea, Abidal received a ridiculous red card and afterwards Chelse was fucked by Ovrebo and then everybody mentioned Ovrebo's mistake against Chelsea and none was mentioning hilarious red card for Abidal minutes earlier, when Mourinho knocks out Man U with Porto and Scholes goal was disalowed due to nonexisting offside wile Man U was 1:0 up, Jose wasnt crying,but he was actually bragging how good he is, just want to point on double standards,inter went through last year with help of referee when Krkic's goal was annulled due to Keitas non existing handball, noone mentioned that

Chelsea had been already robbed of two penalties when that red card happened.

Strange how the CL controversies happen on Barca matches all the time in the last 2-3 years. Rarely or never on the other matches.
Another mind-blowing coincidence.

I'm glad in a way. I think Barca will humiliate United so all the better for me.

I loved United's away support in Germany aswell :lol:
Do you think that the final match in London will be sort of a home match for United, or no? I remember the 1997 CL final in Munich, Dortmund was like a home team with most of the crowd supporting them.
