It baffles me how people can just dismiss Barca's blatant antics and cheating, simply because they play beautiful football.
It was anything but beautiful tonight. Messi's two goals were the only good thing about the match, the rest was pure ugly from both sides. |

Two teams put on the more disgraceful display of sportsmanship you'll see and you want me to give credit to one? Fuck that. |

Hope we don't get drawn into their antics in the final should we get there. Lets keep the clubs head held higher than those fannys care to. |

It has happened often in the past, though. What irks me about them - if it was another team, it would be perfectly fine to hate and dislike them. With Barcelona, it's different. What guarantees this preferential treatment?

So, it was a match where one team sat back and fouled and the other team dived and tried to get a player sent off. IMO, if Barca is the "best team in the world" they wouldn't always resort to this kind of shit in CL semis. If they play "football the way it should be played" they wouldn't dive and pull this kind of shit. I didn't expect much more from Madrid because they are a Mourinho team. That's what his teams do. But I do thing playing to get a player sent off is 100 times worse than just going with anti-football in hopes of a 0-0 score going into the next leg. |

I really do hope that UEFA pick up on it and actually do something and make a statement before either the second leg or the final.
Spanish football is littered with rolling, diving, card guestering and bullying of the ref. If we did it here, or in Europe, we'd be hung, drawn and quartered but it seems to me that it's just dismissed as a sort of 'oh thats how it is there' mentality. |

But saying other people should have the same, "who gives a shit about cheating" attitude, then you are being a bit ridiculous. I will always detest diving. It is the ultimate example of what is wrong with football, IMO. |

Trust me, you'd be pretty much bothered, as we all would. If they come out and play fair, beat us in a great game of football then you can't complain. But if they act like they did tonight, I'd be fuming. |

Some fucking Oscars need to be handed out to Alves, Busquets, and Pedro after tonight, aswell as Di Maria for Madrid.
Barca have been doing this for years but more annoyingly have been getting away with it for years aswell. It's sad that such a great footballing side feel the need to resort to such shithouse tactics

Some of the behaviour of some of the Barca players was shameful and disgraceful. When things aren't going their way they resort to cheating.
