What the hell...so shitty that Barca got the win but Real got beaten, Barca played like shit and Real had some stone wall chances that somehow weren't scored.

Yea man Barcelona played the worst game in their lives, I don't have any hope for them this season anymore. You convinced me.

Sounds surprisingly like Chelsea's CL win.

On a side note I dont understand why a few games this early in the season would d define the season for teams. Dont see how people feel so comfortable predicting how they are going to do based of a couple of weeks.

Barca scored one crappy, scrappy goal, then the bribed ref sent the opposition captain off for 'complaining', then they scored a goal specifically coming from player advantage.

Chelsea won the CL in the opposition's home stadium, with one of the best goals ever scored in a final and a goalkeeper who put on one of the best gk performances in a final. The opposition scored 0 goals.



This I agree with.

O so your saying they didnt deserve to win because they got favorable decisions. Let me draw your attention to ..well midweek. Poor Reading.

Eh what ? The opposition scored 0 goals ?

they probably didnt deserve to get 3 points or even any points from that game. But they did and well boohoo. Same as when Chelsea scrapped their way and 10 man D'ed their way to a CL win the semi's onwards. Its results. Its as if no other teams get any star calls at all right ?

The selective nature of memories such a beautiful thing.

I meant the opposition scored 0 good goals, was typing too fast. I just think Barca played a shite game and got luck on their side.

And you for some bizarre reason immediately assume that I don't think there was injustice against Reading. Of course there was, every time Chelsea gets a lucky call (Mata v Tottenham last season), it annoys me just as much as when other teams get them, because it feels like Chelsea didn't win fair and square. I am 100% for video replays and challenges in football.

The performance of Chelsea in the Barca games was world class and they humiliated barcelona in their home stadium, when playing with 10 men and no CBs. They also played one of the finest games I've ever seen in the return leg vs Napoli, pure guts and heart, and great play. The performance of Barca vs Osasuna was poor and Osa deserved more than they got.
