They're gonna be doing this three more times, aren't they?

[Liep]

Pepe is actually one of the few Madrid players who looks like he wants to win. But yeah, saving the team for the next 3 more important Barca games is wise, but not pretty.

Yup, and this one is probably the less trascendent game of the 4 they'll play during this month. It seems like a playoff.

That's because Pepe is, basically, crazy once he enters the pitch. The guy has no restraint at all.

Penalty.Goal. Ronaldo

[Liep]

Haha, that was one of the more stupid penalties I've seen. Alves is a loose cannon.

[The Larch]

Seemed like a dive to me, but meh, who cares.

[Liep]

Actually, this has been the most boring game I've seen between the two.

Barca, Barca, penalty, Barca, Barca, Barca, penalty, Barca, Barca, tie.

Yeah, it wasn't big but Alves made a diving tackle without striking the ball while he poked Marcello. And the ref was probably scared about what the Madrid-papers was gonna call him tomorrow.

It's a game that has been utterly devalued since before it began. Real Madrid know they can't win the league, but they stand a chance in the following games, so the only thing they have at the stake is the team's honour. If it finishes with a draw everybody goes home mildly content and ready for the way more important games that will take place later.

Yeah, and the fact that the ref seems to be trigger-happy doesn't help. He carded Valdés for that play and I still don't know why.

[Liep]

He also carded Pique for that uncalled penalty in the first, so I assume Valdes got it for the same reasons: arguing against the ref.

[Liep]

Also, what is up with Villa? He looked like a sack of patatoes.

Yup, that's a safe assumption. Never trust the refs with slickily combed back hair.

He's going through a heavily dry spell. Two months without scoring or so.
