Real Madrid vs Barcelona|Champions league Semi|27/04/11

UEFA should take action and ban some people. I mean at least 3 or 4 players were shot last night right, and have they found the snipper or whoever shot these poor footballers.

That's the only thing I hate about Barcelona.

I never watched the match but wow....fuck off Barcelona.

Bunch of pansies.

Spot on. Surprised Alves didn't get a look in there as well- his playacting is brilliant.

Di Maria wasn't much better for Madrid though either. Think Pepe went over from Mascherano's tackle and did about 6 rolls as well..

UEFA open disciplinary proceedings against both teams

Was going to happen

You all know there doesn't need to be contact for it to be red, right?

During the game, I thought it was deserving of a yellow only. After seeing that video, that's even debatable. Pepe didn't touch Alves and he was playing the ball. But I can't blame the referee because it looked nasty live.

No idea what that shit is about, you'd never get away with that in England. Rarely see it here though, not our thing...

And let's be honest, the red card is just a fine excuse for Real Madrid chasing shadows for 70mins, getting tired before they eventually got ripped apart by a rested Affelay and non human Messi. When you defend with all men in your own box having 9 or 10 men doesn't make that much a difference.

If Pepe is the difference between 0-0 and 0-2 then things must be really sad at Madrid these days.

Barca are going to report Mou.

Haha that video is hilarious. What a bunch of bitches. Starting to dislike Barca a bit. They cry like women and they just play keep away.

Not that you guys care, but that's one of the reasons Americans generally dont care for soccer. That's not sports, that's theater. Sign up Barca up for drama class.

Much has been said and written concerning Pepe’s send-off against Barcelona in the first leg of the Champions League semifinal, but an image speaks louder than words and video from Realmadrid TV clearly shows the player only touched the ball. Thirty minutes remained in the match and the referee sent Pepe off with a direct red card following a lose ball dispute between Alves and Pepe. The rest of the play has been publically scrutinized far and wide. Alves, who obviously appears to be in pain, abandons the pitch on a stretcher. After consulting with one of his assistants, German referee Wolfgang Stark shows Pepe the red card one minute after the play took place. Once he saw the decision made by the referee, Alves made his way back onto the pitch in full stride.

It wasn’t the only controversial play of the match, however. Arbeloa and Pedro were involved in another incident. Thirty-nine minutes into the first half, the Madridista defender blocked Barcelona forward’s running lane. There was shoulder-to-shoulder contact, but no aggressive intent. Pedro fell to the turf and clutched his face, and the entire Barcelona bench stood up to continue protesting for the foul.

An ugly gesture that appears to have become a constant. Look no further than the images of the incident between Marcelo and Busquets five minute earlier; another lose ball and again, the Barcelona player ends up on the turf. It wasn’t Alves this time, but Busquets. The dive is just as obvious as Marcelo’s expression of surprise. Marcelo protects the ball with his body and Busquets goes over the Madridista defender's back and blatantly falls to the floor with his hands over his face. Another unsportsmanlike gesture and more fuel to the fire for the referee to deal with. It lasted for 90 minutes as millions around the world watched on the small screen.

The sports world cries out
Rio Ferdinand: "This diving is a joke/embarrassing. When Pedro watches that do you think he'll think, "What was I doing!?" Rugby players must laugh at football. If you ever see me go off on a stretcher then run back on to play, I give everyone on here the green light to him me with a two-footed tackle."

Michael Owen: "Alves' actions won't please many as if he had got straight up it would have been a yellow card, but Barça fans will be happy with his actions."

Rory Mcilroy: "Dani Alves, you are a disgrace. Roll about on the floor just a bit more!"

Chad Ochocinco: "I can't believe they just gave Pepe a red card for that."

Embarrassing that Real Madrid published that.

Real Madrid are just as guilty of play acting and surrounding the referees. Both teams were a disgrace.

and now to use this to say EPL > La Liga

@ Ahly - I agree, Di Maria loves being a bitchboy and is just as bad when it comes to play-acting. But when it comes to surrounding referees, Barcelona are unrivalled.

Pepe definitely deserved a yellow. It's not a red, but that was a very stupid and dangerous tackle. I've already said how much of a twat Alves is on the last page, so no need to repeat.

Maybe better in sportsmanship. But the talent in La Liga shits all over your English clubs.

And Ahly wins this round.

The latest one: http://www.studs-up.com/

It is pathetic. End of.

I'd rather watch 100mph hoofball then tippy tappy fall to the groud every 30 seconds la liga.

Good for you.

We'll see in the Champions League Final

and I can see England's elite teams improving their squads more than Barcelona/Madrid next season too.....

That's because there is so much room for improvement

Barcelona don't need much, maybe depth. But Pep doesnt rotate anyway, not sure what Madrid would need either, just a better mentality/approach when they play Barcelona, both squads are the most talented in the world really.

Oh well, they're more watchable than 90 minutes of grown men rolling around on the floor acting mortally wounded every time somebody makes contat with each other.

Yeah because all La Liga games are like Wednesday...

La Liga pisses all over the wank English Premiership.
