No Masch was no where near to covering Bale. Bartra would have been seen as the last man and robbing Bale off a opportunity at goal and consequently sent off leaving us with 10 men to play with in ET

Sorry, you might be right, but I remember Mascherano having Benzema on the same line. For what it's worth, I don't think there's any chance at all of that having been a red card. No way the ref gives it. I think it's very naive to think refs give red cards for things 50m away from goal especially on the far side as well. An experienced defender would've brought him down for a yellow card. I can promise you, that is never a red card Behrox.
You can't take that kind of risks in a Final and ref was pulling YC here and there so can't blame the guy realistically Alves should have been there and Montoya would have been there but after I saw Neymar hit the post it felt like it wasn't meant to be this season. Well there's always next season
Fair enough. Barcelona has had a lot of success and a rebuilding season would come sometime. Just never expected it to be while we weren't actually rebuilding..
We needed to rebuild for 3 seasons now its because of those BS clueless twats on the board that it hasn't begun yet

I honestly don't get it, its been obvious for 3 seasons now. Our defense is one of the worse (Big teams) in Europe!

One of the rare players in our team that I felt did really good and genuinely looked like he really cared, shame about his inexperience coming up when he decided not to foul Bale

I think he did so poor there because his injury has renewed

Its refreshing to see someone who is actually a danger from set pieces. Every time he plays he wins a header from a corner. He was due a goal from one and last night was such a special moment when he scored. Its a shame the game had to end with Bale outsprinting him like that but there wasnt really much he could have done. He should be pushing for a starting place next season along with whoever is brought in (if anyone is). He's a good guy to have in the squad...he has tons of potential and is clearly passionate about the club. He also looks like he could become a real leader who actually talks on the pitch!

THE TRUTH ABOUT MARC BARTRA
Tributes on Bartra shows how badly it's in Barcelona at present. Among all the fallen heroes and transfer ban would be so badly to find something positive, and so grasps man straw (Bartra).
There is absolutely NOTHING in his accomplishments speak for him to be someone coming superstar as a centreback and team captain for Barcelona.
We must accept that he's 23 years old and mediocre, although he possibly appear to be more than mediocre with the current environment.
A squad player? Absolutely.
Something to build on? Absolutely not.

Yeah I feel the same way, I wouldn't be comfortable without an additional world class CB but I think it's quite possible that Bartra will still develop into a fantastic defender.
