What's the point of gloating about the defeat of your main rival when you were even worse yourself?
Well, it is always nice to see Real Madrid lose an important game but it does not make up for the humiliating and hugely disappointing defeat against Bayern by any means.
Anyone else feels Pellegrini with this very same squad would have destroyed this BvB side?
What he achieved against BvB even if was their first meeting and Malaga's first CL season was extraordinary.
The point is to have fun of both situations. Football is just an entertainment so let's have fun in the victory and as well in the defeat. Life has enough serious problems to worry about.
It does. I don't care to lose the UCL as long as Moudrid doesn't win it.
If we are both eliminated than we are left we the league and Moudrid with the copa del ray.
Liga > Copa means we had a better season than Madrid and thats the only thing that matters to be honest.
I don't care about the Germans why should I? They play amazing football that is fun to watch ATM and thats all.
The only thing that matters is us vs Madrid.
Ilkay Gündogan: No player has won possession in the middle 3rd of the pitch more times in a CL game this term than Gündogan last night (10)
The Unsung hero. Absolute BOSS
Well, it is always nice to see Real Madrid lose an important game but it does not make up for the humiliating and hugely disappointing defeat against Bayern by any means. At least not for me. What's the point of gloating about the defeat of your main rival when you were even worse yourself?
Both Barca and RM are so full of their own crap, that they forgot other teams can play football too... All the talk about Barca - Madrid CL final is foiled for the second year in a row... Time to get off our high horses...
Fair play to the germans, who have patiently rebuilt their football...
Indeed. Never said the opposite. Football is just a passion and entertainment for me. It's not like my whole week is going to be ruined because of one bad result. I have no influence in the outcome. Moreover there is always a season next year and you can't win it all. We have been spoilt for a long time anyway.
That is a very strange logic. The main thing that matter is how "we" (FC Barcelona) perform and not any other team. Did the Chelsea defeat last season really hurt less if you look back at it just because RM were defeated by Bayern München last year as well in the other semifinal?
A defeat is a defeat.
Once again what matters the most is how we perform. Let's assume that we only had won the Spanish Super Cup and nothing else this season while RM won nothing. Would you then only compare our season with that of RM and not be disappointed with not winning either the league title, CL or Copa Del Rey?
That's exactly what 'rivaly' produce, It's just a logical outcome, The difference between an 'opponent' and a 'rival', Is that with a rival, Victory and loss, Success and Failure extend beyond those 90 minutes inside the pitch, Where Another ones success become another ones failure.It is incredibly annoying to see fans relieved/stressed about their own failure relative to their Rival.
