El Clasico: Real Madrid vs Barcelona discussion

Carvajal was staying close to Pepe to avoid a throughball between then, Bale should have tracked Iniesta

pls go with your straw clutching fu$bal

we will win Copa

hala, didn't I win a bet against you?

And how's the promise to Jese going?

So what happened to Alba? I thought he was going to be destroyed by Bale? Quite an underrated player even by Barça fans themselves, his only problem is defending in corners otherwise he's quite complete.

ESPN rating system: Ronaldo - 7/10

Madrid fans were talking too much shit around how Bale and Carvajal going to destroy Alba. But actually, its happened offsite alba and iniesta destroyed both of them.

lol.

But yeah I agree that this is the best El Clasico in quite a while. I think this is the best since 3-3, the first Messi hattrick.

I was hoping you'd forget it : vagi :

Apparently it was just a misunderstanding, Jese wanted them to win Copa and not this poverty game

hala

Your new sig:



Embrace it.

with pleasure

The GOAT is on the bench while that farce of a goalkeeper is playing. he can't even jump. he was like slowmotion on Messi's penalties.

BREAKING - Jordi Alba arrested after the game as he got caught walking away with £85 million pounds in his back pocket.

  

To me that Neymar PK looks like a coming together with Neymar exaggerating the contact and thus not a penalty.

I can see why the ref gave it in real time though, even though the decision is wrong.

Here's a gif of the incident.

The contact is clear, and while you are indeed correct that it was a coming together, it doesn't mean that it wasn't a penalty. If he wasn't clipped, he would have been 1 on 1 with the keeper, hence a goalscoring opportunity was denied.

And regarding exaggerating, I agree. But anyone in that situation would have exaggerated. Just look at C.Ronaldo's penalty. He was fouled, but if he wanted to, he could have stayed on his feet..

My reaction was based on that gif mate.

I can see there's contact but as i said to me that's more due to them coming together than an actual foul.

I posted that gif incase someone said that there was no contact. It wasn't specifally just to you.

And I agreed with you that it was a coming together, but even so he denied Neymar a clear goalscoring opportunity. Hence for me, although I am without a doubt biased, it's a penalty.

ha, so after all that excuse making it turns out it was intentional

What? In that video you can clearly see how Busquets is not looking at Pepe and how he doesn't step on Pepe's head but merely scratches it.

They don't allow us. Maybe they want Barcelona back in La Liga.

I'm not looking for excuses, but this ref is not at the required level for a game like this.

If Barcelona lost today, they would have been out of the race. After five years here I finally understand how things work.

What a baby. Someone remind him of that "foul" which happened outside of the box yet they got a pen for it. Nah...ofcourse he forgot about that.

Both Barca penalties were stonewall. Red card was the correct decision too since Ramos was the last man and prevented a clear goal scoring opportunity by fouling Neymar. Ref didn't do too bad.

I'm a big fan of CR, but he should man up and take the defeat on the chin and move on.

Ronaldo was clearly upset in the heat of the moment.

Happens to all of us.... hell did you see this place last night?

Its one of the reasons i chose not to watch it live so i can debate the game when everyones calmed down.

Clasico seems to be the only game that is like that

Biggest and most important fixture in world football in the entire history of the sport etc. etc.  

So is pressing high up the pitch against Barca, still the worst way to defend against them?

Because you're giving Messi and Iniesta more space which is the worst thing any team would want lol.

You see it a lot more often these days, as some teams think Barca have lost there fear factor.

At least El Classico is usually a contest. Federer and Nadal is not a rivalry, it was borderline rape.If they were both in prison Federer would be following Nadal around holding the inside of his pocket.

Didn't you want to say something to me after the Clasico? I'm listening ...

I did watch the game and saw another replay from a front view, it didn't really make it any clearer. I really don't get how people can look at it from the back and say there's contact. One guy even thinking it was his right foot that was fouled

That's like a kid in a classroom punching someone while looking somewhere else pretending nothing happened, duh, you'd be a bully's dream teacher being that gullible. Yeah he didn't step on him he just wiped his studs on his face
