If Raul was the best Spanish player in the last 15 years you wouldnt have won the EM or WM. He's nothing special.

Last time Real won they won the cup final against Barca and just to humiliate you even more they dropped the cup in front of the bus to show you how much you suck.

I love it when Barca loses, and boy did you lose

 

Because everybody know that with one good player you can win everything.

On 19 February 2012, he scored the 400th goal of his career, at that time, 323 with Real Madrid, 44 with Spain, and 33 with Schalke. [22] On 5 April 2012, in the second leg UEFA Europa League match against Athletic Bilbao, he scored his 77th goal in a European competition.

He became the first player to score 50 Champions League goals when he netted in a 2–1 group stage win over Olympiacos on 28 September 2005,[7] and continues to be the all-time leader in appearances, with 128.

Titles with Real Madrid:
La Liga (6): 1994–95, 1996–97, 2000–01, 2002–03, 2006–07, 2007–08
Supercopa de España (4): 1997, 2001, 2003, 2008
UEFA Champions League (3): 1997–98, 1999–00, 2001–02
UEFA Super Cup (1): 2002
Intercontinental Cup (2): 1998, 2002

 

Barca was not playing better than Real Madrid, they didn't had a lot of good chances and they made a very lucky goal. Ok, Real defended a lot, but why not? It was 0-1 after 17 minutes.


+1. Real Madrid (or Bayern) for me, not Chelsea or Barca.


Raul was and still is awesome. Like Ogaleicrum said; he scored a lot of goals, did some great things on the pitch and he has the right mentality.

 

Congrats to Real fans especially Chris from Cali. Real played well and won. Barca had no answers for their discipline. Pep really disappointed me with the line up. Iniesta needs to play in midfield not up front. Here's hoping Barca meet Real in the UCL final

 

Definitely well played by RM. I tip my hat to them and their consistent play. RM, as a whole, wanted that match way more than Barcelona. As much as it pains me to say this... it seems something is wrong at Barca. And why the eff wasn't Pique on the pitch?

Anyways, congratulations again to the RM on winning La Liga. Lets hope a for a better showing from Barcelona tomorrow, they owe it to the fans.

Not trying to be an ass but I think you're right. And to be honest, maybe it's their turn? they've been winning everything for the last ~5years, no other team in the world have been close and during all these wins there has been nothing but fairytales in Barca (except for Ibra perhaps). I'm surprised they didn't have a "problem" sooner.... Or maybe they just had a bad day, what do I know

 

U guys know whats wrong?? Injuries!!
Alexis Sanchez was injured a few games, David Villa injured since the World Club Tournament, Afellay is injured, Fontas, Abidal (cancer).
Barcelona still plays for titels in 2 tournaments, won so many other titels this year. Nothing is wrong!

 

Maybe we are seeing this era of Barca domination coming to an end. I honestly think they will be remembered as one of the all time great teams, and although they may have another year or two in them, I think we are starting to see the beginning of the end. Barca will probably still be a world class team, but this team we have been watching the past 4-5 years is a once in a lifetime thing.

 

Every team has injuries, if they cant continue to win with some injuries, that just shows me they have no depth.

 

it was really strange when tello came off, iniesta slipped into his right position i thought .. but why tello took sooo damn long to be subbed was a mystery to me in itself

you mean something is wrong with the refereeing?
jk bro you know i like to play with you
seriously though, YES, why didn't pique play? i saw him warming up but never came on; i was so glad he did not play vs chelsea and tbh i am hoping he sits it out tomorrow as well! i thought he was injured! if he's not, then the only plausible explanation is that there is drama between him and Pep

personally i think Mourinho proved that the only way to play barca is to respect them enough and not try to come out as the hero who goes all out and gets beaten crazy (arsenal? madrid?). dedicating two players to mark messi, closing in on your own half and wish for the counter seems to have worked enough times to plead many managers to try it out if they have the defensive talent

is it the beginning of the end? i would say that all depends on who manages them next season
