Speaking about Madrid players being fair play
I have some on Marcelo too. Filled Messi with blood in the 3-2 game. After an elbow to the face. Stomped on Pedro's leg in the CL clasico. Kicked Messi in the Supercup game, then scissor kicked Fabregas too.
Madrid players are the last players in the world who should be seen as being fair play.
Sure, some of these guys are far from fair play. But they're really good at doing the subtle things away from the camera. That goes on both sides. Pique perfected the art of silver tongue, which comes out in these games (he should have gotten a yellow for clapping if we're being petty too, lol).
Also, RM have improved over the years since Mourinho days while Barca brought in more guys that are easily provoked. A lot of guys like Modrić will retaliate, but hardly ever instigators.
Bale had bad tackles all around. Nobody would complain about that red TBF
