Fairytales aside, the fact that this Schalke side got as far as the semifinal shows that the competition's level has alarmingly decreased.

Thank you, Italy.

COMMON SCHALKEEEEEEEEEEE

This is a fucking joke.

Did Gibson even touch Schalke player?

Did Gibson even touch Schalke player?

More than Pepe touched DAlves.

Did Gibson even touch Schalke player?

Doesn't really matter.

It was still a poor challenge and worth a booking.

The ref has been poor, though. He seems determined to stop both teams for tackling.

 

[Trequartista]

All this waste of time to see Farfan kick on the wall...

 

[Trequartista]

Seriously, how did Inter manage to lose to this piss poor side?

Not just lose. But 5-2 lose.

7-3

Leonardo.

Inter played far too narrow a game and allowed Schalke to control the game by giving them lots of time and space on the flanks.

Man Utd play with width, so expose just how mediocre a side Schalke are.

A team that would, no less, kick Juve's ass.

it shows how limited a player like Farfan is, Juventus would be making a mistake if they were to sign him.

I am not so sure, we do well against decent/good teams. We suck vs provincial clubs like Bari though.

Gibson was really lucky that it's not Barca he's playing against. Pepe got a red card for the same thing.

Not necessarily.

Schalke's defence is very poor and they leave the midfield wide open, so give plenty counter-attacking chances.

Juve's only problem would be Schalke's quick wingers.

Pepe played the ball, unlike Gibson.

 

[Gabriel]

Screw this. EL has been more entertaining, the defending is awful but it's not like CL defending has been good.

Do you then see it as a coincidence that the "poor calls made by human beings" are happening so often on Barca matches and in their favor? I challenge you to find 2 such cases in the last years in CL knockouts where the managers were angry at the referee and blamed him for their defeat, which didn't include Barcelona.

You say that Mourinho is the drama queen here who exaggerated and looks for an alibi, but in the last 4 years, only in the CL knockouts, Ancelotti, Hiddink and Wenger were fuming too at how the referees robbed their teams when they played Barca. Mourinho is just another one on the list.
Even normal people didn't blame this on UEFA in the past, simply because there were no grounds to blame UEFA after one or two matches. But now we have more data, more reasons to suspect that Barca getting so much help in decisive moments of the matches isn't a simple coincidence and "poor judgement by a human being".

Personally, my suspicions started after Chelsea-Barca, they were growing bigger after Motta's red card and I was convinced when three Barca and 0 treble winning team players made the ballon d'or list. Van Persie's red and the help Barca got against Real were simply confirming what I was thinking.
But for some here, obviously, Platini himself can admit that they were helping Barca on purpose, and they still won't believe it.

Barcelona are world class play-actors though. They have a knack for selling their shit to the tourists.

If somebody presents something other than circumstantial evidence, I'll listen. Hopefully they do and Barca is banned from European football. But until then, the evidence, to me, shows what always happens to the top sides... they tend to get the calls.

Barca gives Jewbags a bad name.
