What does Blatter have to do with this? Diego Costa got a 3 game ban few days ago for pushing Koscielny in the face twice, an incident not registered by a referee but English FA reviewed the footage and suspended him. In Spain, if the referee didn't acknowledge incident in his report the FA...

What was that with pulling Busquets out and playing Iniesta - Rakitić in front of the last line (+Messi as a 3rd mid)? It's like LE wanted to concede more. Could understand that he wanted to spare Busquets physically since the game was effectively lost but at least put some strenght there, it's...

La Liga should finally start retrospectively punishing players for incidents like when that defender hit Suarez with a closed fist (!) in the back. You don't deal with dirty plays by ignoring them. Just look how's EPL doing it, for fucks sake. Suarez was atrocious.

By a couple of miles the best Barcelona player last night.

"Where is the controversy? For me, no controversy. The game is about many different aspects, technical, tactical, emotional, physical. Normally the best team wins - we were the best team." :facepalm:

I was never his fan and thought this winter window was the time to finally ditch him for good, but now I'm not so sure. I really like what I'm seeing from him at RB.

Yes, he played #10 vs Everton so I don't know how can someone conclude they were exploiting specifically his lack of defensive contribution. Even last season when he played almost exclusively CM Chelsea managed to be the best defensive team. Vs Everton, I'm not under the impression he was that...

He was very, very good.

Vermaelen Roberto Alba

He got a yellow after that Bilbao player tried to hit him with closed fist. :lol: It's ridiculous how often refs are swayed by players/crowd in La Liga.

Bench Barcelona: Ter Stegen, Bartra, Gumbau, Sergi Roberto, Camara, Munir, Sandro So much depth. :)

:vermaelen: is starting, lads. :wave:

This. Next game is on Sunday I think, enough time to recover physically.

I can find you other games (i.e. CSKA away, where a guy named Musa tormented him on the right flank, Lahm almost commited a penalty on him), but these two important games vs tough opponents are nice examples why Lahm isn't convincing on RB in current Bayern system. It's fairly obvious he's...
