Even last night, fair enough its the first leg and you don't want to concede an away goal but why play solely to defend, it's not impossible to win at home against Barca, Mourinho should know this since he did it last year with Inter
The red card was really harsh but Pepe should know that if you're playing Barca why are you going to go into a high tackle when you know they'll overreact, he would of done the same thing if the tackle had been the other way round. Barca and Madrid are as bad as each other when it comes to overreacting and surrounding the referee, just look at the Spurs game
Also lol at everyone saying Messi was a ghost in these games, are you expecting him to run through 7 defenders who are simply trying to take him down in anyway possible and score a wonder goal in every game? Sometimes i swear people just ignore the performance and say it was shit if he doesn't score :-X

First half of this one was a disaster BUT Barca was also very lethargic, they weren't moving on the pitch and passing the ball like they normally do. And Real was picking up the tempo like 10 minutes before Pepe was sent off. The plan was to put Adebayor and Kaka on the pitch...

Yeah, finally somebody else notices it. There were a few times where Adebayor forced Barcelona to kick it away on their side of the field. Their first half game plan in the Spanish Cup was being put in action.

Why ? Because Real hadn't beaten Barcelona in 6 matches or in 3 years before that game. They haven't scored a goal in 2 years. It was painfully obvious in the first match back in November that they have a huge mental block against Barca. They couldn't make 3 passes in a row. So Mourniho went for the score. Realy was playing attacking football againts them for 3 years and they got owned every single time, making them more desperate with each game.
Again, I did not see any desire from Barca players to attack last night. They seemed quite pleased with 0:0.

Messi is GOD, woop!
Fuck Mourinho that cunt
Lunatic:
Porto 5 Villarreal 1
1st half wasn't much and going down 1-0 was a HUGE BLOW.
But my my my, what a team we have here. That's what fantastic teams and coaches do. They find ways to bounce back from a terrible half and respond in absolute breathtaking fashion. This team is just unbelievable. Villarreal are no slouch and we made them look like an absolute cakewalk.
I don't know what else to say. This team is one for the ages. I hope I don't end up disappointed but I don't see a way we don't perform the treble.
League title, league cup and europa.
FORCA PORTO!
