Penal Madrid

[Stric]

I understand your point, it being that Barca's philosophy is also about staying authentic and, for example, not buying a RM player/icon. I do think, however, that on another level (considering honor, sportsmanship, behavior etc.), buying Iker, as opposed to buying (almost) any other RM player would be the move which is the least infringing in terms of the "philosophy".

One Spanish player in the starting line-up today. And that one arrived less than 3 months ago.

Classic Madrid red card for Arbeloa.

Oh, what happened to you, Arbeloa...

Alvaro is a Zaragoza level player. Somehow he has regressed below "solid" to absolutely mediocre. Mou had seen the light starting Essien in both games. Hopefully Spain do the same and banish him for good.

What a joke. Perez must be hating this. Wasn't part of his mandate when he came in to make Madrid more Spanish again?

 

[dostoevskij]

Arbeloa was very stupid, no surprise there, but with a few minutes to go and no danger whatsoever. priceless!!! maybe he thought this was a la liga game and he could penetrate the referee with no punishment!!!
Mourinho must be pissed at him.
