Bullshit. It neither worked out(it went out), nor was he thrown on the ground. Fucking diver..
Take off the hate goggles for a moment. He flicked the ball, was about to round the defender & got obstructed. Bilbao were just mad that he pulled such a trick on them.

Bilbao are butchers of the highest order. They dont need an excuse to kick and hit a player, even more so someone as skillfull as this kid who makes feints that humiliates them.


Bilbao are allways like this in big games/finals, they lose their heads and act like animals really. I wasnt even watching the game, just was on the background, but the neanderthal like behaviour from their players is nothing new.

He is diver yes, but they dont act like violent cunts because he is diving, its because what they know best, saw them behave the same vs Valencia and Real this season, and throughout the years.

So was Ronaldo leading up to our Semifinal match-up. 12 goals-5 assists in his previous 10 matches, including a hat trick away against Sevilla in the match before facing us...

We still beat Madrid.
Yeah but Ronaldo is more of a finisher rather than a guy that can create out of nothing. And he always scored against us. I fear Messi more because he can score and he can create. His style is also completely different from what our defenders are used to.

Ronaldo has the same number of assists as Messi this year. He's creating pretty well.

I think Messi actually suits our style better. Our defense is weak against crosses and set pieces, not something we have to worry about so much with Messi or Barca. Tactically and organizationally, our defense is fantastic. We're very good at eliminating space and shutting down passing and dribbling into and around the box.

We're not great with counters at times either so I actually fear Neymar on the break. Well, any combination of Neymar, Messi, Suarez breaking after giveaways. But organizationally I think we'll be just fine when they have possession and try to attack through build-up play.

I can't see us employing an uber-high backline like Bayern, or I sure hope not... So the biggest fear for me is midfield giveaways that allow Barca to attack quickly before we can get our shape set at the back again.

If the defence is weak against crosses and set pieces, then it must be a shit defence, since against tricky players they suck.

I don't understand how slippin' Giorgio vs. Messi is not something to worry about.
