Hardly rationalizing it, or being a proponent of Real Madrid's position on this issue; I pretty much said it was ridiculous. I am merely highlighting evidence that would point to the most likely explanation for each club's position. If its better for your health and state of mind to believe...

Let me preface by saying the guard of honor is ridiculous in general. Real Madrid not getting one for the CWC effectively meant Barca wouldn't get one. The common argument I have been reading/hearing is regarding Barcelona's participating, or lack thereof, in the competition. Just going by...

Something that needs to be addressed in the summer.

I like him, but if there is a team willing to pay a decent price, he should probably go.

Once in a lifetime player.

- Roberto was rightly sent off but Bale should’ve been sent off as well. Rakitic went boots up into Casemiro early in the game, but nowhere near as reckless. - Suárez should’ve been whistled for a foul, Messi goal should have never happened. - I’m not even sure how the refs blew the decision...

Definitely a harder pill to swallow when your rivals get favorable decisions. Case in point, note the reactions of ManU fans (Redcafe) when Liverpool had favorable decisions go their way vs City and Roma.

Heads would’ve exploded if that were RM. Though I’ve actually read from some fans on Twitter that UEFA now has an “out” to favor RM. :lol:

I don't disagree with anything you're saying. I was responding to a poster who asserted that Real Madrid do not care about play style. If anything I would say Barca cares more about play style, which isn't a bad thing.

A pasillo for Iniesta would be pretty cool.

1. Iniesta's last Clasico 2. Barca have an undefeated season going 3. Barca probably want some sort of validation (even though they don't need it) for their CL collapse A few weeks ago I believed this would be a good chance to end Barca's run. With everything that has happened (Iniesta...

Aresenal completely ran out of ideas early on in this game.

Disagree with this a bit. Having watched this team for nearly 20 years, I can assure you that the tactics of Capello and at times Mourinho, were not well received by the fans. Particularly Capello who literally had no issues with the team sitting in their own half against weaker opposition at...

Chelsea have an outside chance, but its pretty unlikely.

The law of averages does not apply here. The samples (in this case the games played) have no reason to approximate to the expected value because the model itself is incomplete. Even if it were complete, there is no reason to suspect trial k, or k+1 will produce an event that is unlikely (being...

I trust Varane way more than any defender wearing a Liverpool shirt.

Played a pretty good game.

What is funny about that Clasico is neither team won a league game for the remainder of that season. Barca 2D2L and Real 4L. Not like it really mattered anyway, Barca had pretty much won the league with that win.

So now its luck over the last 3 seasons? Lol come on now.

Barca has lacked quality depth in their squad over the last 3 or so seasons. I mean, there are and have been players to fill roles (Rafinha, Denis, Arda, Samper, Gomes..etc) but none of them showed enough ability, at least when I have watched, to fight for a spot legitimately. What is odd is...
