People caring about opposition "fans" UEFAlona and whatnot. Why?

Because you might have to deal with them on a day 2 day basis, like at your workplace or whatever. Opposition internet-only fans are indeed irrelevant, I'll give you that.

I don't care about opposition fans but I do rely on Marca to get spanish-focused football news.. sucks, but it's the closest to "neutral" in Spain.

Other intl media don't cover LaLiga as well, french is all about ZiZou being the second coming of Cruyff, Benzema Platini's descendant, and british .. well y'all know how the british press is.

And it's been horrible since Tuesday on Marca, half the articles are about how Barça is being favoured and uefalona stuff ! :/

So easy to deal with. Ask them, do you genuinely believe what you are saying or is it just banter because you support another club? If it's option 1, leave the room. If somebody really is that blind thinking Ramos & Torres got sent off just because it was Barça... it's really not worth your time.

Marca is pure Madrid, not even close to being neutral. Also don't see why you should give a shit about what "newspapers" are writing. They are just writing what will give them most clicks/readers. Next week it will be another shit story.

Yeah, indeed. I usually tell them to go watch synchronized swimming or anything else but not football. In my book, if someone watches Cruyff's heirs play and obsesses over ref decisions, especially legit ones and literally manages to ignore everything else, maybe football isn't for them.

felt gud tht team tried hard to make a come back.
nothing to comment on the ref coz all semi matches this time seem to have similar type of refrees.
just waiting for nex week's team spirit at calderon.

 

[El Flaco]

The game between Barcelona vs. Atlético de Madrid lasted 97 minutes and 5 seconds. The actual playing time was 58 minutes and 19 seconds while 31 minutes and 10 seconds of the 38 minutes 46 seconds game time lost was due to Atleti

Why did both teams play with away kit?

UEFA wanted this, because then it was better to watch the game and tell the difference of the teams. Both teams will play with away kits in the 2nd leg aswell.

 

[Barcadub]

Atletico going with the same team v Espanyol. I think one change maybe.

Surprise

We need the guys over at Asspanyol to do us a huge favour.

 

[FC B]

The players better play much better the return leg. Remaining in the CL is a must as it is to keep the gap in La Liga.

 

[Barcilliant]

This tie is over.

Our team has run out of gas. February is normally where we have a dip in form but clearly we are going downhill now.

It will take a miracle to reverse this. The front three are not firing and Lucho is to blame for the midfield.

This season could end up very badly indeed.
