CdR | 1/8 2nd leg: RCD Espanyol - FC Barcelona 0-2 (1-6 agg.)

[Galning]

The referee again this first half. What the actual fuck. Clear penalty on Neymar not given, Espanyol having a great time kicking every player within their reach once again. At least we've seen a couple more cards than last game but still..

Still abysmal. Pure

I hope we score more in 2nd half and destroy these cunts! Vamos

The referee is an idiot!

 

[ThwiX]

Stupid goal to concede, tho. Alves caught sleeping, but Pique should also do better there. Just don't let them score again, they were timewasting in the 1st half, FFS.

 

[serghei]

I think Neymar was denied at least 5 solid penalties this season so far. If not more. A disgrace. Players hit him in the box for fun and get away with it.

 

[Barcilliant]

How have Arda and Vidal fared tonight?

 

[blaugrana1987]

Messi...OMG that last through ball to suarez

 

[Galning]

I hope the Espanyol goalkeeper gets a lengthy ban after his deliberate stamp on Messi's leg. Knowing how things are handled however I assume he'll get nothing.

 

[Capitan Puyol]

The second leg is open...what an epic Suarez fail...

 

[Flavia]

How have Arda and Vidal fared tonight?

Arda was good. Looked comfortable, as if he was playing with the team for a long time. Vidal was ok, seemed a bit nervous at first, then improved.

 

[SKS-]

Espanyol deserved to go down to 9 men and lose by a 3 goal margin, they are just fortunate it didn't happen sooner and the margin wasn't greater.

 

[Egert]

Pissed at that Pau Lopez dude... But good game overall, very much action, just like a derby should be Let's go!!!

They deserved to go down to 7, GK stomped on Messi's foot and then defender tried to go with straight leg against Neymar, but he avoided it last second. Unbelievable brutality from those thugs, it's a miracle no one is injured.

We killed them today! Too bad Suarez missed several tap-ins, but I was happy with the result. The referee was the worst one I've seen so far in a Barça match. Legitimate PKs denied, wrong offsides callings and no cards to Espanyol players. He kinda tried to compensate later when he sent off the 2nd player from Espanyol.

Masch needs the benched right now, he hasn't played well this season. Messi is... Messi, nuff to say. We are pretty much through next stage, we could even start some backup players to rest starters
