Theres alot of bad calls that don't go Barca's way but we don't @#$%@ about it. 

And how the @#$% do you not call out your defense for allowing ONE dude to tear them to shreds? There were 5 dudes surrounding Messi on his 2nd goal

Seriously there is no justification for today's match at all, not even by highlighting any misdeeds in the past.  That was disgusting to watch as a football fan.  
BOTH teams dived and flopped it was a poor game in that sense.
The difference Barca got some magic from Messi. 

Mourinho's post match speech is what he does, he got you a Barca fan heated and probably got alot of others too.  Next game the ref's will be a little bit different.  

Will it be a Barca v United final, very possible.  Both won away from home in the first leg 2-0.

Not gonna disagree with you. 80% of the match I was just shaking my head at BOTH teams. I hate Madrid for all their diving and dirty play but I'm not gonna be biased. today Pedro and Busquets brought shame upon my team

Dani Alves, was being sent off the field on a stretcher really necessary

Only to return moments later

That's why I really don't like him and Busquets at all even though they have plenty of talent...

Every time Barcelona wins, the other teams put the blame on the refs. You can't blame the ref's because Messi took on 5 defenders and scored ?
Good game but like y'all said too much theatrics.

Pedro and Villa have been disappointing in the past few big games. Props on Affelay and that assist. See you guys next Tuesday.

[nychiphophippo]

bojan, arsenal, chelsea, etc. have nothing to do with this game. pepe would have disrupted that play in the center of the pitch. once the best player in the planet goes at your back line with a full head of steam he has the ability to make any back line in the world look foolish.

and nothing i said is debateable, it is what it is. barca won and are going back home with 2 away goals and if someone gave me an even money bet offer today i would take barca in a heartbeat to advance.

this man, and i tried to put people on to futbol today today, now i feel awful because they gonna think it sucks

It's *#!#*%% disgusting dog. Pedro and Di Maria were by far the worst offenders. Didn't really see much wrong with Dani Alves tonight aside from the stretcher incident but I imagine he was feeling legitimate pain, getting caught exposed like that isn't fun.

Terrible decision by the ref though. I don't care if he was mobbed (also disgusting and you see this EVERYWHERE even where the diving and embellishment is less blatant) by Barca players inducing a decision, he's a damn professional and should be held to a certain standard. I hate to be a hypocrite as I'm fast to criticize the worldviews of others, particularly the trolls that pollute this forum on occasion, but there's an element of *****assness in certain sporting cultures around the world that I'll never be able to condone.

If you're upset with the way Barca played, you should be equally upset with RM. In fact, I blame their tactics and simply their lack of want in the first half more than I blame Barca.

But now the real game starts. Biggest match in MLS history. Let's get it.

Definitely, his absence is very noticeable. I'll always be an Espindola fan simply for his heart but he might be the least graceful attacking player I've ever seen. With the core of this RSL squad locked up until 2013/2014, I really think an upgraded strike partner for Casper Sobario would be the finishing touch.

I don't see it either. This isn't the strongest Man Utd. squad.

I wouldn't say it's impossible. Madrid has more superstars but United always performs well on the big stage. Also unlike Madrid they don't need to park the bus to play solid defense. People are always talking about how this is the best Barca team ever, but I don't buy it. the 08-09 squad that beat United > this year's (although this year's United isn't as good as before either)

that 08-09 squad got into the final of the CL by a miracle strike at 90+ 3 by iniesta

as much as i hate barca, this years squad is def better.
