Every replay was super slow-mo'd. He missed the ball by centimetres. It was an unlucky red.

That is what I was thinking. He was late and a red was justified simply for the damage done. That sais, it was in no way a reckless challenge or worth the ridiculous comments some have made on here.

Talk about over reaction in general as well. Utd should have had the game sewn up in the first half. We didn't. Especially sucks it had to be against City but these things happen in cup competitions. It could have gone either way even after the sending off and didn't tell any sort of story about the 2 teams outside the context of the match itself. Anyway, hyperbole away.


On a side note :

Great to see a decent atmosphere in there, at least early on.

Also that Wembley pitch yet again sucked the life out of almost all the players. I know it is supposed to be quite a big pitch but it surely can't just be that!

There was no video of the initial incident but according to twitter it was one of;

• Comments about VDS's wife
• Comment about Rio's wife and newborn baby
• Spat at Anderson
• Celebrating in front of United fans

That's a pretty big list...I don't think it's long enough.

 

[bolbronx]

Looks like Madrid should have started with 10 men. They look much more dangerous now.

Maybe he told Rio he should have stayed on his feet

Mourinho did joke that he was planning to play with 10 men

PENALTY


HOLY SHIT

 

[Gareth Bale]

Hmmm not sure about that

 

[Discordian_taco]

:O PENALTYYY!!!

Hmmm on a second look not so sure...

 

[KidA Seven]

God damn sons!!

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

:lol

No matter what anyone says, Valdes should be carded as a matter of course.

 

[Blackhead]

Drama!!

 

[elseanio]

Jose waving a card, haha.

 

[Fëanor]

Well, I've been a little disappointed so far with the game.

DRAMA!!!

 

[Gareth Bale]

Cool as you like

CLOSE YOUR FUCKING MOUTH VALDES!

 

[Tripwood]

Time to mention diving ?

 

[Blackhead]

Ronaldo's first goal against barca. And messi's first against a mourinho team. Both penalties meh

 

[Wes]

That was a weak penalty decision.

Real have played well with 10 men to their credit.

Clearly he was not joking, they really were practising playing with 10 men.

 

[Discordian_taco]

Game just got really interesting...

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Great work by Ozil by the way.

 

[WJD]

While this game has no impact on La Liga whatsoever, it makes the upcoming CL tie look a hell of a lot more intriguing.

There's the game on Wednesday to think about first

 

[Facism]

i go for one of the fattest shits i've ever dropped in the last 2 weeks and it's 1 -1 :O

 

[bolbronx]

Talk about going down easy

 

[Regulus Tera]

So good~

 

[Gareth Bale]

Credit to Real Madrid for trying to get a winner with 10 men. They did prepare for this though.

 

[Fëanor]

Glad the game got exciting.

 

[Omiee]

barcelona wtf are you guys doing, real is playing with 10 players.

 

[Empty]

that was awesome by ozil in the start of the move leading up to khedera's shot.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Ozil has been awesome since coming on.

:lol Messi

 

[Omiee]

lol pepi calling messi crazy, get the fuck out of here, you lost you right to speak your fucking mind for ever.

 

[Gareth Bale]

The darker side of Messi

 

[TangMeng]

This game is awesome.

 

[clemenx]

I'm enjoying this game, but I'd like to ask if El Clasico is uber expected by everyone who likes football everywhere?

I like football but down here in Latin America there's a circle jerk around Barcelona and Real Madrid that blows my mind. Literally since wednesday everyone is talking about these games.

 

[WJD]

Is Messi not allowed to be yellow carded?

ehm its barca and real dude, its the best derby in europe if you ask me.

 

[bolbronx]

Fucking Villa

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

First time they played Oezil and Khedira were completely outclassed. Nice to see them playing well this time around.

 

[Verano]

Talk about going down easy

I know right. Alves actually managed to touch the ball.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Shaking hands with their team mates but not each other? Pretty weak

 

[clemenx]

ehm its barca and real dude, its the best derby in europe if you ask me.

Yes, awesome game, but I can't explain how it's lived in Latin America. It's like being in Spain.
Lol, that post kinda came across as me being a footy noob, I'm not haha.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

"He's a nice guy!!!"

/Don Rickles

 

[Rad-]

Messi shooting the ball at Real fans was really lame I gotta admit. :/

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

LOL Messi shots a ball to the people, to loss time: not yellow card.

LOL Alves has already a yellow card, makes a penalty kick: not second yellow card.

Even with the referee continous help, we almost managed to win.

Moral victory to us.

I know right. Alves actually managed to touch the ball.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

 

[norinrad]

And Albiol ruined it. Not the referee.

That wasn't red, Yellow. It was stupid

 

[Omiee]

its not just spain, you should see the arab country's when barca and real are playing nobody is on the street in morocco.
Everybody watches soccer and barca and real are to soccer what the yankees are to mlb and the celtics and lakers are to the nba.

 

[whatsinaname]

Messi shooting the ball at Real fans was really lame I gotta admit. :/

RVP would have gotten a straight red for that.

 

[TangMeng]

Messi shooting the ball at Real fans was really lame I gotta admit. :/

That plus his imaginary card waving made me lose some respect for him.

 

[Boozeroony]

Great work by Ozil by the way.

Ozil is awesome.

 

[Dibbz]

Fucking Madrid fans man. Plz go. Throwing shit like babies.
