Real is without Ramos, Pepe and Mourinho in the 2nd leg on Camp Nou, they are going to get destroyed by Barcelona.

the red card, should've been the police arresting Pepe for that shit, who ever argues that is a fool. Lass shouldve been booked as well. Then Marcelo steeping on pedro while he was down, by "accident"?

1) Just about every player in this game was fouling or going over very easily. Cards had to be bandied about for the referee to feel like he can reel the game in. That Pepe was the sacrificial lamb was pretty much just dumb luck, particularly since it's the type of challenge that would usually be a yellow. I think it may have actually calmed the game down a little bit, but when the game became 11 against 10, space appeared in the midfield, and as the game progressed and Madrid tired Messi and Affelay were able to exploit some space.

2) Counter-attacking. In most competitive sports it's considered an art form. You see fighters in the ring concede initiative all the time. People use the possession stat as a shorthand for who has been in control of the match all the time because it usually works, but it doesn't always, and until the second half it didn't particularly mean much in this tie. I feel like I'm having to explain this to a baby.

for most of this game, the play was broken up constantly by stoppages. Most of the possession that Barca had in the first half before the sending off were along their back four or in midfield. None of their attacking moves were particularly convincing, because Madrid have a disciplined defense and were good at marshaling the play into poor areas. There were almost as many opportunities for Madrid to get forward despite what the possession stat might tell you, and they might have made something of it but for some poor final balls into the area. Their wingers never really got going. I felt that Ozil in particular had a poor game. Barcelona's defense happens to be very good as well, not that you'd have any idea about that.

Im glad that Barca won 2-0 and someone should ban Pepe from football. Anyone remember this?

Dude... Possessions doesn't mean shit... Barcelona wern't doing anything and only created 1 chance in the first half and the begining of the second half was mostly real. I think Mourinho's comments really really reflect what's been happening in the past few years for Barcelona in the Champions league:

lol should have been the police? it should have been a yellow AT BEST. Watch the replay he contacts the ball and then Dani "the lil bitch" Alves' leg. Its a contact sport and he was going into a tackle completely justified. The sad part in all of it was if Barcalona's cry baby of a team hadn't been having a lil pow wow around the ref everytime anyone was touched (or not touched at all as was the case most of the time) the ref wouldnt have shown the red.

Ill give you that Lass should have been booked but Marcelo (once again actually watch what happens please) is back peddling while looking forward towards the ball. You cant tell me he "intentionally" stepped on Pedro's leg while trying to keep his own balance. He couldn't even see him.

Obviously im a Real Madrid fan and am real pissed off by that red but i can still see the game for what it is. Fouls happen. Cards should be handed out. That red however ruined a decent game and a teams hopes.
