^ a bit unfair but good for real!
Not just a bit. It was totally unfair. I hate it when a referee destroys an otherwise good game with a stupid decision like this one. Real have him to thank for going through.

It was the right decision as per the rule book. In europe they do it all the time. High tackle, up to chest... Only EPL referees let it go.

You're looking at this with Real Madrid glasses on. Nani was looking at the ball, not the player. He only saw the player 2 seconds before he hit him and actually tried to pull his leg back as soon as he did see him. Anyone who is neutral (and does not have a Pro-Real bias) would have given a Yellow for that, but certainly not a Red Card.

I did NOT say that a red card should be given. My point was that referee acted as per the rule book. However he should not have done so within the context of the incident as it was not a malicious attempt by Nani. Thats why I called it unfair.

Maurinho saying 'best team won'' Dont even recognize the classier and humble Maurinho :D
he had to say that since he will be taking over United soon.
its good to see fergie throw his toys out of the pram though
Re: Champions League 2012-2013
Gutted for Arsenal. Beating Bayern Munich is amazing, but still not enough to qualify for the next round.

True that. The Gunners would have deserved to go through (and I don't like Bayern Munich :)).
I am thrilled about Barca's comeback though. Just WOW!
Re: Champions League 2012-2013
Mourinho is only gonna go where the money is. So thats Man city or Chelski. And since him and Abrahmovich dont get on you can rule chelsea out. That leaves man city. Apparently mancini is in hot water with the guys in the boardroom aswell
Re: Champions League 2012-2013
PSG and Barcelona 2-2
Bayern and Juventus 2-0
Just in case anyone missed it. Absoloute shambles. Ibrahimovic was MILESSS offside.
Was unfortunate messi got injured when he did
Re: Champions League 2012-2013
Lol @ Barca. Although, it wasnt a goal. Blatant offside.
Bayern were always going to dominate.
Messi being out will give PSG a good change at nou camp. Ahh I remember being there like it was yesterday (6 years ago in fact)
Re: Champions League 2012-2013
Lol Barca could not even defeat PSG
Re: Champions League 2012-2013
Barca should still be able to defeat PSG. However with Messi missing out possibly, an upset could well be on the cards...
Real is all but through to semis. So is Bayern. Two German and Two spanish sides in semis? interesting!
Re: Champions League 2012-2013
two simply brilliant matches..
Real madrid (3-0 from the first leg) went 1-0 up but Galatassary scored three fantastic goals and almost eliminated. superb
And Dortmund scored two injury time goals against Malaga to reach SFs. Heart stopping!
Re: Champions League 2012-2013
incredible incredible scenes in dortmund. :) Beauty of football.
Re: Champions League 2012-2013
I sense an upset tommorow. No Messi potentially. Which means they would probably have to stick in fabregas im thinking.
Ancelotti should bring beckham on later not the beggining. start ibrahimovic on and attack from the word go against barcelonas defence (which is full of holes)
I think thaigo silva has a knee injury aswell.
However it is the nou camp.......excited :D
Re: Champions League 2012-2013
Malaga would have deserved to go through. Schmelzer should have been sent off for that bad tackle he made just a minute after having received a yellow card. He would therefore not have been able to provide that assist for Dortmund's third goal.
0-0 barca psg halftime. Fabgregas just hasnt been able to finish his chances....
Re: Champions League 2012-2013
I'm glad Barca went through. Even though it was quite lucky. So it's 2 German teams and 2 Spanish teams in the Semis.
I'm hoping for El Clasico in the final, even though I think out of the 4 teams remaining Bayern seems to be the strongest.
Re: Champions League 2012-2013
bayern and barca final is what i wanna see. I think this is the first time two bundsliga teams have made it through this far.
Re: Champions League 2012-2013
I wanted to see Barca and Bayern in final, but thats not possible, most probably el calsico final, i hate CR7 and all his stupid fans (my friends)
