    This thing is over. No way Madrid can climb out of this whole AT Nou Camp.

    Thanks. I haven't been paying much attention to the Champions League this year. Once/if the Serie A teams get eliminated, i lose interest.

    Id like to agree, but as a fan, I cant commit!:D

    But, without Pepe or Ramos...you gotta assume they wont be able to keep Barca out of the goal, let alone score at least 3 of their own (2 if they go to PKs). I think Arbeloa was on a card as well, and I thought I heard he got one today, but I never saw one issued to him, so not sure if he will be there or not. Carvalho will be back for Madrid which is a bonus at least.


    As for the game, Jose has had success with these tactics versus Pep and Barcelona. Knocked him out last year at Inter. This past week in the Copa Del Rey. BUT, it is just a losing mentality. Its tough to feel bad when a team, literally, doesnt even care about scoring. Barca did a lot of playacting today, but at least they attempted to play soccer. Madrid, cant say the same. This is a result that fits the tactics set out by each team/manager.

    Mourinho concedes they can't come back and cries about the refs and how Barca always get to play against a ten man opponent, hilarious!

    I agree, Barca at home with two away goals in the bank will be tough to overcome, although, football is a cruel game and stranger things have happened.

    Looks like a rematch final of two years ago, Barca and Man U as they enjoy the same advantage Barca do in the return leg.

    I love when he cries. I cant stand his tactics.

    However, he is right about the Pepe red card. Of course, he makes no mention of the Emmanuel Ade or Marcelo plays that should have been red cards lol.

    Real just doesn't have "it". I was shocked when they won the Copa.

    Looks like Barca and ManU for the title for the 2nd time in 3 years.
