I think referees just try to avoid sending Real Madrid players off. The complaining and accusing of Mou&Co would be too exhausting, I mean the Madrid media was bitching about Webb even before the game. I can´t explain how they get away with so many dirty tackles, if not for this reason.
Surprisingly to me, he said to an interview today, about the upcoming game against argentina, that Messi is the best in the world "at the moment", and that is a pleasure to play against him.
Marcelo (Real Madrid): "Messi is the world's best player, it's a pleasure to play against him with BRA. Let's see if we can stop him." [ge]

I'm surprised also..especially after I saw that Pepe reiterated yesterday that Cristiano is the best and as far as I know Marcelo, like Pepe or Coentrao, has a very good relationship with CR.
