Ibra after tonight's game:
"Empiezo a entender a Mourinho cuando dice lo que dice cuando viene aquí a jugar contra ellos. Ahora que lo he vivido en primera persona, le entiendo más y más"

"I have begun to understand Mourinho when he says what he says when he comes here to play against them. Now that I have lived it in first person, I understand it more and more."




Pep's response:

"Zlatan whining? I can't talk about his performance, that's up to his coach. I could talk about his games against Inter in 2010. Now Ibrahimovic talks just like Mourinho. We speak on the pitch"

Surely he means they speak to the referee on the pitch?

pep- *the ref speaks for us

Pep "Eufemiano Fuentes speaks for us"

On a more serious note... Ibra was mental in a swedish interview post game, said about the same conspiracy things in swedish along with alot of other shit. Among them he said "well, Pato came back from injury and now he's injured again. I'm starting to wonder if it's something wrong with him or with the people who take care of him".

Frustration deluxe.

Ibra is such a hypocrite. He said that in the first leg the ref was brilliant when they asked him about the 2 stonewall penalties...

We speak on the pitch :I'munoriginal:.

Ibra , you're a hero, Pep can say what he likes, you're winning a league this year and he isn't.

What Ibra said about the referee post game was actually pretty well analyzed in swedish media thou: "The second penalty they got was a 50/50 since most of the foul happened before the corner kick was played, the ball was played a second after Puyol crosschecked Nesta". "What suprised me wasn't that they got the penalty, but that I didn't get a penalty when Mascherano kicked me down when the ref had that bar for a Barca penalty".

But then he went on about starting to believe in Mous words.

Pep will never admit anything of course. Neither will Barca fans. But anyone outside can see it, just watch them play.

Looks like in a few years football will be like wrestling.

He's right in what he says. But the Mou part is just his own little speech. I agree with the reff part.

According to the rules everyone wants to fight down, Ibra had about 10 penalties tonight.

Both legs basically consisted of Ibra being pulled all over the place.

Ibra

yeah I'd agree that Ibra's should've had a penalty and the second one shouldn't be a penalty, but I doubt Barcelona are paying the referees.

Anyone who says Barca is paying referees is either trolling or an idiot.

Anyone have the video of Ibras supposed penalty shout? I'm quite sure it was a clean tackle if it's the incident I'm thinking of.

Milan were so confident they were going to go to the Nou Camp and win Celebrating a 0-0 draw at home

No tackles, just random shoves , arm pulling and body pulling from various Barca CBS over both legs (in one case climbing on and dry humping by Mascherano).

According to the so called rules they are all penalties.

Who wouldnt be confident after a 0-0 against Barca? Arsenal fans would be thinking they could play their attacking football at Camp Nou Im sure

Anyway, Ibra does have a tendency to speak crap when he is annoyed. Still, its entertaining as hell

I was thinking the body check by Alves right after it was more worthy of a pen tbh. But then again i only saw it once...

Ah.... So we celebrated a 0-0 draw at home. Now I must wonder where you came to this conclusion considering multiple Milan fans and the Milan organization itself not in any aspect satisfied with our draw.

I think the Milan prejudice must stop here now from you.

the sanchez one was not a penalty. Its a foul if the keeper takes the player out, it is not a foul if the player run into the goal keeper - looking for a foul -, i would say it was more the latter than the former although its not entirely clear. It was in no way "stonewall". smh at this barca generation when one small contact = FOUL/PENALTY/RED CARD/HOLDS FACE, some of the time they are actively looking for contact

TBF Sunderland got a penalty against us for something very similar a few weeks ago, it is in the rules its just the refs are not consistent so when it does happen it causes uproar.

Never a penalty btw for me.
