@ red - the lockeroom isn't the same in barcelona, messi had a fight with villa, hasn't score yet from a xavi assist, he used to score a lot from his passes, pep doesn't want to renew now. it's the end of their era, and with a fair ref, real can beat them in the final. the thing that worries me is their young players: sanchez, thiago, tello, etc..those can become like iniesta and xavi in 2 years.

Juat watched it again. Barca didn't even kick the ball when Nesta fought with the gay diver. The ref could just separate between those two, like happens in so many games (I mean, where Barca isn't involved). Then, after the kick, there was a foul on Nesta by Puyol.

iirc the 'law' says you whistle, go there, make peace, give a red if you have to then blow so that the corner kick can be taken

He should shut the hell up

how is it remotely possible that a trainer fails to get the best out of a massive talent such as zlatan, its beyond me.

Because he tends to choke a lot.

I wouldn't mind T.Alcantara or Sanchez coming to Juve

Exactly what i've been trying to say for half the night

Except that it wasn't what you said.

 

[Badass J Elkann]

i already explained to rab how the 2nd penalty was a penalty, pulling shirts in the box is asking for trouble.

 

[Cheesio]

As far as am concerned, this went perfect, Milan eliminated by some shady calls by the refs, more people get to see the refreeing advanatge Barca get, so more people will hate them.

 

[Del Piero Style]

Btw, glad that this thread exist. I hate the gays so much and I was so angry about this match, but everyone around are- of course- fans of these cunts. I feel better now after reading so many posts here that express just what I feel and think.

Oh, and:
1. Nesta is amazing. Can't stop saying this. One of the best CB in the world, and he's 36. For sure, one the best defenders I've ever seen.
2. With Silva and MVB, Milan would have win this. EDIT: No they don't. The ref can always give another PK, no problem. Milan's Gk touched the ball with his hand??!?!?! PK! And a red card.
3. Someone out there, from Granada, Getafe or wtf, please break the cheater's (Busquets) and the homo midget's legs. Please.

That's exactly what I noticed too. The shirt pulling started before they even kicked the corner. It was then Puyol who pushed Nesta. Th ref could have just warned the involved players and the corner kick must have been retaken.

Not an interesting game.

Goals happening that were irrelevant to the general play.

Barca's second penalty was a technically correct decision, as I far as I'm concerned, but one that the referee has to really want to give. That is particularly the case when the holding isn't anywhere near the ball, especially in a big game where you espect refs to be fairly reticent about making big calls.

The handball against Robinho was just a bad decision and smacked of a ref deciding to bail out a Barca mistake.

When Ibrahimovic is shit in these game (yes, I know he set up the goal) it really exposes Milan's policy of focusing their game and cash on him, while filling most of the rest of their team with second or third rate players.

Aside from the obvious defensive errors, Milan's attack was very poor. Barcelona's pressing was not good for most of the game and Milan got into heaps of good positions, but poor decisions and poor execution prevented them making chances.

Barca are undoubtedly a team in decline.

When they beat Man Utd in Rome they had great players playing in a great system. They were almost impossible to contain because they had dangerous players all over the place and they made the pitch big and moved the ball fast.

Now their game is almost completely focused on Messi. They don't stretch the pitch the way they used to, so it is easier to block up the midfield and deny Xavi and Iniesta time and space on the ball and, therefore, limit the supply to Messi. Their play is also, in general much slower, which again makes it easier to stop them.

IT'S NOT A PENALTY, BECAUSE AT FIRST IT WAS FOUL ON NESTA BY PUYOL

Techncally, doesnt say much, as in italy, england, germany and france, it will never be given

perhaps in spain, perhaps


So if a player trows the ball a few yards forward, it should allways be placed on the exact spot of the foul ? technically correct, altho only executed when the "a few yards forward" is actually like over 10 meters.


i agree on the rest and will repeat once again

if barcelona comes against a very well organised pressing physical team, with a fast attacking solution, they will get countered pretty hard

juventus used to be like that, inter2009-2010 was exactly that, chelsea used to be like that...

They are very lucky the current game lacks great defensive talents.

however, looking at the best games from juventus this season, with a hardpressing, fast rightflank, and a killer in the centre, we are exactly what it takes to counter them

I've never seen anything like that. He gave a PK based on some fighting took place before the kick. It was a dead ball situation, the incident wasn't even near the ball. Can only happen against Barca.

 

[blondu]

That's exactly what I noticed too. The shirt pulling started before they even kicked the corner. It was then Puyol who pushed Nesta. Th ref could have just warned the involved players and the corner kick must have been retaken.

this is not even close enough to the 2nd yellow for van persie...

well busquets raised his arm to bring the ref's attention that nesta was already grabbing onto his shirt, on the move he took the fall. Really that was poor from nesta and really i think it did warrant a penalty, even though these sort of incidents are missed, but if you're going to be pulling shirts in the box you are asking for trouble, the ref took the bait but it was a penalty no matter how soft it was.

No it wasn't penalty. Even couple of Barcelona players didn't expect this and were shocked.

well as i said if you're going to be pulling shirts in the box you're asking for trouble.

wtf

Have you seen a player who doesn't pull shirt inside the box when it's corner?

as i said busquets raised his arms to catch the ref's attention. and yes i've seen shirt pulling in the box before and penalties have been given for them in the past.

:sick:

Then again it's not what Red implied there with his post.

With a decent ref in the final Bayern could also beat them.

With Barca's pressing game not being as good as it used to be, their defence is exposed a lot more than before, and their individual defenders and defensive organisation isn't great.

Sorry badass, but that was never a penalty, its pretty clear on that gif

But why should he do this, when he can win the match for the best team in history (in buying matches)?

[mondo1]

thx god i didn't see this shit..... barca is such a fucking club.
what i hate the most is they keep on telling how they are the only ones playing real football blablabla and yet need help from the refs to get nonexisting pk and disallowed goals..... and that against the boring /past it serie a team.
i hate real too but i hope they beat the shit out of them this year for once. next year we will do this job once and for all

btw german media is all over messi

 

[ALC]

Yeah, that was the most ridiculous one imo.

I remember Messi doing the same in the later rounds and nothing happened.

With Barca's pressing game not being as good as it used to be, their defence is exposed a lot more than before, and their individual defenders and defensive organisation isn't great.

especially when you think that milan's goal was scored by rinocero and they have no good wing players, like bayerns robben and ribery. it's true they don't have a nesta but they are more solid as a unit. + gomez doesn't choke like ibra.. chelsea won't be a problem for barca.
