Barca's Reign Coming to an end? ...lol, No.

So... after the first leg some Madridistas were claiming Barca's reign was coming to an end because they outplayed a Barca team that just got back from tanning on the beaches of Sth America + unfit backup players. Despite this... they still couldn't win. Hence that lovely image someone posted "Draw 2-2 at Bernabeu against Barca B... claim Barca's reign is at an end". (Could we get this reposted lol)

Even funnier is today we still weren't fit but were a bit sharper than last game. Playing in 1st gear most of the time we won with 3 magnificent goals to 2 ugly goals. Further, Madrid disgraced themselves even more as an institution today. However, now I even see some people still claiming that our reign is coming to an end . :lol!: Where do these guys get their opinions? "This is the last trophy they'll win" was one comment, a stupid one among more disgusting ones like "Marcelo should have killed Messi". Its just hilarious... continue to watch these guys and continue to watch our team win trophies. Continue to watch Madrid play like a pack of dogs and continue to watch the greatest team in history make art on the field.

Barca have not peaked yet, last season many players suffered from 'World Cup hangover', Xavi had played 3 years straight football without a break was dying, David Villa was still adapting to the system and 2 of our best defenders missed half the season. This season our squad is amazing, they should all be relatively fresh and Messi now looks like the Incredible Hulk (hobbit form?). This year we will peak... we can maintain that level of football we were playing around the time of the 5-0 for a whole lot longer.

Visca el Barca!

Does anyone see any specific attack plan by Mourinho?

With such a wealth of attacking talent, all he was trying to get Madrid to do was win corners using the wings.

Can anyone highlight any specific plays by Madrid?

You are so right. But this is how it works: when you lose, you deny your team is worse, the other was lucky, or just blame someone else (the referee, doping, diving etc).

Barça and Madrid are currently the world's number one football rivalry, that's why we see many, apparently neutrals, also saying this kind of stuff, because they either side with us or with Madrid. There are really few real neutrals when it comes to Barça/Madrid now.

If neutrals existed, I'm pretty sure they would analyse these games more in your line that Madrid fan's point of view. There's no sign of decline from our squad, and if it wasn't for two Madrid lucky goals we could have trashed them again, with an unfiter team.

Now an idiot Madrid fan is blaming Ronaldo.

Dont these guys understand that players have specific attack plans given by the coach? When will they start criticizing that moron of a coach?

To top it all off, some are suggesting Benzema on the wings. Good lord!

madrid had more shots at camp nou

valdes had atleast 5 freak saves during the tournament

gap is indeed closing

Yeah, more shots, but not more clear-cut chances. We had more of those. Deal with it.

Edited as its appropriate

Also... Ronaldo predictably cutting in and taking useless shots from 30 yards that fizz along the ground aren't a measure of playing well. Ronaldo probably had loads of shots... but he was frakking useless.

Congratulations on Victory, and I hope we all enjoyed a game of Football eventhough this is a clear rivalry.

Well I have to agree 50% with xabi, they are indeed closing the gap, however its not close enough. The only reason why it is much close than it actually is, its because of those hard tackles and moaningho's constant moaning which makes the referees trying hard not to book the madrid players for tackles, which is somewhat smart but freaking disgusting. You can enjoy urself closing the gap with such methods, we win you by football, you can win us playing rugby

no, mind the hard tackling and diving, we actually went out to ATTACK for once. Remember how that went last year? 5-0.

Yeah I give u guys props for attacking, and tbh even without the hard tackling and diving you guys are closer right now then the 5-0. But tbh without hard tackling and diving from both sides u guys aren't close enough, and I hope will not be close enough for a long long time

Your player's shooting sucks...get a better shooting coach

you mean the accuracy sucks . Our shots are like bullets due to our players being taller and a bit stronger, but they are inaccurate bullets

Where you guys getting your stats? Those stats aren't even close to stats I've seen online.

Here's soccernet stats from yesterdays game:

Dont know why anyone thinks or thought Madrid can match us.

I mean, they still got clearly outplayed as we was clearly superior.

Their goals came from errors and luck, ours magical play.

We clearly didnt look as sharp as we could be either, some inconsistent pressing and you could see the last 10 minutes we stopped passing the ball at the back and made alot of aimles clearances.

Freshness and more games, without miracle goals being conceded, we would of won 3-0 I think.
