Why does that idiot have to ruin every single Clasico(except for the 5-0)? Can't be arsed when the 2 'supposed to be' most attacking and dominating teams play like this. It might be the only way to beat Barcelona, but still I'd be ashamed if Barcelona would play like this suddenly.

When Barca walks their entire back line past midfield and constantly passes back to them to maintain possession, they're asking - no, forcing - the other team to play defensive -> counterattack.

Perhaps Guardiola should adapt to Mourinho's tactics by not pressing so high up the pitch, making his side less vulnerable to counterattacking?

Maybe he should press 1/2 so he can have more space to attack too.

As a Barca fan, have to say Mourinho has done it again. The style is ugly, and he uses players like Pepe, Carvalho, Arbeloa as thugs rather than footballers..but it works! This is the anti-football style that with this amount of talented players, CR, Ozil, Adebayor, Di Diver etc etc, that is the perfect counter to Barca. If Barca get past them in the CL, it will be the most impressive feat since the 6 trophies, especially with David Villa in exile and injuries hitting valuable players like Puyol and Abidal. Tactics aside, the work rate of Real was exceptional all game, congrats to Real tonight pero visca Barca

Yea.. Barca players are total saints. I guess Barca fans just can't accept defeat?

Talking about dirty players like Villa, Alves and Busquets are all such good little boys :D.

Well to try and beat ugly, you have to get a bit ugly yourselves. Busquets is all about little passing and winning the ball back for Barca, Alves is about getting forward constantly. They dive and play act to the ref because its their way of getting things to go in their favour. This is competition afterall. I'm complimenting Mourinho's style, he makes it ugly and it works. He makes teams hate playing his sides because they know they will be harassed and kicked all game, and he will play the media and the refs too so his side looks like the victims of the abuse somehow. It's very clever. I am not criticising it, its an ugly style that works

As for not accepting defeat, you maybe didn't read my post properly, I said congrats to Real tonight and I also said that Barca now face the biggest feat possible in the CL.

It's not at all an ugly style. There isn't one way to play football, there are hundreds.

Also those players that I mentioned play like that against all teams not just Real.

Ref seemed kinda quick with the whistle when Messi fell too ;D.

But whatever, this thread will be fun to read during the CL matches.

I mean ugly in a good way, the constant fouling breaks up rhythm and the kicks, elbows etc tests the will of the Barca players. These are ugly but necessary things in order to beat a team like Barca who otherwise will just pass you to death. Jose the destroyer

Oh yea, Real Madrid bringing the cup home tonight. I fairly enjoyed both rounds so far. Intense football with swing of momentum and many moment of brilliance, adding the individual heroic display and you got yourself the greatest football games of all time. Hell yea can't wait till next games!
