THE FINAL EL CLASICO - SEMI FINAL CHAMPIONS LEAGUE


awesome. eric abidal is in the squad.
but good thing pep is not pushing him. mascherano at centreback with puyol on the left.
mourinho is off the bench on match ban.... interesting.
0' kick off.
0'marcelo flying over pedro trying to get the header in.
1' marcelo gets it all the way into the area when it isn't cleared properly but busquets has got back in time to do so after a bit of mucking about
2' Busquets is down. cristiano has gone to get the ball after mascherano takes it off madrid and accidently takes a bit of busquet's leg as well. but he's fine.

8' if you look at xavi with the ball, most of the time he's not particularly fast or defensive, but people seem not to really come in with challenges for him.

Champions Leauge First leg - El Clasico 3/4


Barca are: Valdes, Alves, Pique, Mascherano, Puyol, Busquets, Xabi, Keita, Messi, Villa, Pedro.

Real Madrid are: Casillas, Arbeloa, Ramos, Albiol, Marcelo, Lass, Pepe, Xabi Alonso, Di Maria, Ozil and Ronaldo.

PUYOL IS ON.... ohhhh captainnn!!! he and Casillas shake hands.
Tis the ref who made crucial decisions that affected Barca's elimination off the semi final last year.
0' Kick off!
0' 20 seconds in and we've already lost possession twice.
0' Arbeloa is down following a push off Pedro. Foul given.
1' God the bernabau. fired up when cristiano was within 30 yards of the goal. he wasn't even breaking through.
2' Lass is diving off a push from Keita.
3' several header volleys and madrid lose posession. Iniesta goes for a shot from range.
3' Ronaldo gets the ball and it's straight into a shot but Valdes makes a save.
4' Ref is being a shitface. as is Ramos. who dived. free kick given. Puyol flips out.
5' Pedro running like a manic at Casillas who has the ball. jeez.
6' Sergio Ramos down again. Late challenge by Keita. watch out for the yellow...
7' Pedro being a bit too persistant in trying to get the ball of Arbeloa. in all fairness the lineman is completely blind. they were holding on to each other's shirts without even going for the ball in the first place.
9' Not so sure if Puyol getting in the left back position is such a great idea. Being normally at centre back he comes back to the back more often than any other barca left back. Xavi's had to come back a few times to bring it back to the front.
10' oh villa. what a run, running through 3 defenders. it goes just wide. from distance too!
12' Ah, villa trying to go for another one of those runs. gets cut out by arbeloa.
12' Lass with an arm around Xavi's neck. foul given.
13' One two between Xavi and Messi gets it through the defence and Xavi gets it to Pedro who's shot is cut out by Albiol.
14' Villa and Pedro being extra aggressive. even more so than other Clasicos. lets hope they can keep it up.
15' Messi cut out by Pepe and a combination of the rest of the Madrid defense and midfield.
16' Barca doing the usual "taking a chill pill" method. Madrid fans are getting really worked up by this passing around. well. that's how we do it.
18' Xabi Alonso already looking knackered. really?
18' lol cristiano sends the ball back to victor valdes. i think it was meant to be a shot.
18' Pepe diving for a throw in. it is not working ha.
20' Marcelo taking a short corner but it's cut out when he hesitates too much.
22' A quarter of the game gone. minutes and minutes of barca posession. nothing to it though. my limbs are shaking.
23' Marcelo and Villa going for the ball in the air. Marcelo pushes Villa. Free kick.
24' Xavi! saved by iker casillas. oh so close. so so close. first shot on target for the night.
25' Oh Lass, stop diving. it doesn't work all the time. Pique clears it. Madrid throw in.
25' Arbeloa offside for Madrid.
26' Ozil diving. right infront of the ref. so clever..... really....
27' Messi with the ball, gets grabbed by the neck by Ramos right in front of the linesman. NOTHING GIVEN.
28' Dani Alves taken down by Pepe. Pepe chucks the ball in frustration.
29' Xavi takes a shot from about 40 yards out. it goes wide. we'll get there...
31' grrrr messi with a ball to villa who can't control it. grrrr it was actually onside too.
32' hahahaaa Arbeloa trips behind Pedro and Pedro goes between his legs. like he's giving birth backwards. ew.
33' What a mess. everyone with high kicks and Busquets ends up on the floor. Free kick for Barca.
34' ooh dear. Madrid with a free kick and it's headed towards Valdes but he gets a hold on it.
34' Marcelo...diving? GR stop doing replays i want to see the kick. oh it's straight to the wall.
35' Villa tries for a shot but it's completely cut out.
36' Oh di Maria. WHAT A DIVE. it's given though. come on Barca. defend! Cristiano taking it. he's gonna take a shot. Mascherano talking to Alonso. Liverpool :')
37' Straight into the wall but madrid have it again. Barca asking for a card, a bit of a mess here. Pedro goes down and he was no where near the ball... Ramos was the first one to shout at Pique. Pedro looks like he's just run into Arbeloa. Arbeloa is booked. but he isn't on the list of possible suspensions for next week.
41' Marcelo sitting on the ball... his arm touches it but it's behind his body so the linesman can't see. Villa still takes the ball off him. Deflected shot for a corner. Madrid get hold of the ball.
42' Messi and Villa trying to break through the defense again. it's no use.
43' Sergio Ramos being gaster than Messi. what?
44' Dani Alves booked.... for pushing Di Maria. Busquets going to ground for with a dive. Free kick. 20 yards out ish.
45' Cristiano going for a shot. blocked off by Barca's two man wall.
46' Jesus, Ronaldo with a shot, another shot from Ozil who is offside, plus finally a one from Ramos who is way off.
46' Pedro's shot into Iker Casillas' safe hands.

right before they cut to commercials there was a bit of fighting. someone grabbed pinto by the neck. LOL Pinto got red carded! well it would be less of a LOL moment if Valdes can't play next week and we have no keeper. but it is LOL because he is not even on.
Adebayor is on. bollocks. oh wait. for ozil. alright.

45' Messi goes for a shot but it gets blocked by Madrid's wall of defense. Barca get on the end of it but it goes nowhere.
47' Xabi alonso going for one of his ridiculous shots from his own half. no xabi. that was liverpool. ahhh good times. :')
59' what the fuck. ronadlo getting 3 shots being blocked 3 times by Puyol who can't clear it. come on!
51' god pepe. pushing on dani alves in a late challenge. and tehn gets annoyed and kicks the ball away.
52' Keita is down. messi takes the free kick. messi is taken down by sergio ramos. ramos gets booked! oh he's missing the return.
53' Puyol doing a classic screaming at his teammates. Cristiano turns around to look at him like he's surprised or something.
54' Dani Alves ruled offside. I personally did not see it. what? oh, it's a free kick for a foul.... not offside.
56' Oh dear. Mascherano accidently trips pepe over. he's booked too. careful.... free kick not far away.
57' Victor Valdes lunges out to get the ball. Trips over Busquets. fail. but still has the ball!
57' Mascherano unable to clear Adebayor and Valdes has to kick it out. Madrid get a throw in but make nothing of it.
58' Villa running too fast for his own good, has to track back for the pass.
59' Pedro accused of diving and it's a free kick for Madrid. He wasn't diving, but it wasn't a foul either.
60' Ronaldo who IS diving gets ignored by the ref.
60' Dani Alves is down! OH JESUS. PEPE IS RED CARDED. oh my god. oh my god. Mourinho talking to Puyol. Alves brings his foot up and Pepe comes in with his studs striaght at alves' legs. Mourinho's face when he putss the card out. Dani Alves being carried off in a stretcher. This referee. is so strange.
63' Mourinho taking away from the sidelines! holy shit! he's put in the stands with a frence in!
Looks like Marca are gonna be ALL over this tomorrow.
63' Ronaldo diving! again! free kick given. Mourinho writing notes faster and angrier than before. Alves is on again.
65' Free kick finally taken by Xabi alonso but Ronaldo's header is a bit weak.
66' Dani Alves offside. Mourinho writing notes and giving it to his runner to give to the coaching team for Madrid.
67' Shit! Villa going for a shot, deflects off Casillas, Pedro tries to twist around for a header in but it looks like he's twisted his knee in doing so. Replay shows Marcelo stepped on him. my bad.
70' Tiki Taka in and near the area, but no one going for it.
70' Afellay! on for Pedro. Lets see what he can do tonight.
71' Cross comes in too long for Messi and Casillas hold on to it.
71' Handball by Busquets.
72' Villa taken down.
72' The ref's blown up against Barca. did not see what for.
72' Throw in for Madrid when it was really barca's.
73' God. Cristiano! keep on your feet! in all fairness there was contact with Pique.
74' 33m out. Cristiano takes it and it was really wide and really really high.
75' Adebayor's hand in Puyol's face.... just the throw in given.
75' HOLY FUCKBALLS. LIONEL MESSI! LIONEL MESSI GOAL! AFELLAY COMES IN WITH A GREAT CROSS IN AND MESSI JUST LEAPS INTO IT! OH WOW. WITH 15 MINUTES TO GO! MADRID WITH 10 MEN! MOURINHO IN THE STANDS! WOW.
77' Madrid on the attack. Keita down.... Xabi down but gets back up.... what a messi. Cleared by Pique.
79' Puyol chasing to clear Di Maria's ball and runs into the corner. In his attempts to balance himself he's pulled out the corner flag!
80' Messi pushing Arbeloa in an arial challenge! he's smart and doesn't argue, just nods, and gives the ref a thumbs up to let him know that he knows he's cautioned. no card :)
81' A mess at the area. Messi goes down with a challenge from Lass, and tries to get on his feet but handballs, and then Sergio Ramos' arse ends up on his back.
82' Adebayor booked for a challenge on Sergio Busquets.
83' 71% posession for barca with over 400 passes.
84' Mascherano trying to get the ball up field but instead smacks the ball into Xabi Alonso, who goes down, but striaght back up again. He almost never makes a fuss.

Barcelona v Arsenal..... things that need to be said


Yes, i know i haven't been up to date with all the games recently. sorry, been snowed under by work.
Anyway, with the game last night, although i was watching it live i'd decided not to blog it because of how ridiculously nervous I was.

So, lots of things are being said at the moment about how we shouldn't have won and arsenal didn't deserve it and you know..... the rest....
First of all I have to agree with most people out there. the refereeing was atrocious.

okay i'd typed a whole chunck of things and the stupid system signed me out, so i'm just going to quickly summerise everything.

Look, Barcelona played their best. Luck was not on Arsenal's side, they're stronger at home, just as Barcelona is with 90000 fans with them. The refree wasn't baised, he was just terrible, he missed out a ton of challenges that were right under his nose, gave away corners that were goal kicks, and just downright failed. So this is what i've been hearing a lot "well van persie shouldn't have been sent off, bentner should have scored, blah blah blah.... should have.... blah...."

I'm going to start with the negatives. If we focus on all the things that "should" have happend, then busquets shouldn't have scored an own goal, villa should have scored, dani alves should have taken a shot insted of passing to messi, there's a ton of things there that potentially could have changed the outcome of this game. I think there's always that part of the game that always comes with a bit of luck, and it was on barcelona's side last night.

Secondly I'd like to point out that van persie getting sent off was a disgrace to the justice of the game. It's everywhere on the internet, but I'd just like to say, from a Barcelona fan's perspective, it was unfair, it was illegit. whether it changed the outcome of who advanced to the next round i don't know. But it was just terrible.

Now here's what it is. Barcelona played their best last night, excellant passing, tatically strong, holding posession.... you know, the tiki taka. And there's the referee screwing up and giving cards away like there's no tomorrow, who should you really be annoyed at, the referee, or Barcelona?

Barcelona Panathinaikos - lazy post

So basically i didn't have time to watch the game because i have a massive amount of work to do.
and i just watched the highlights.
But the good news is i learnt how to pronounce panathinaikos.

Pedro's first goal was excellent. Great corner delivery, great assist from Alves, and great timing. I would say almost perfect.

What's weird is that all the players on the subs bench with the exception of sergio busquets have white studs.

The second goal by Leo messi is also quite impressive. Adriano with a perfect assist. I'm glad that he was given a change to play, he's not normally seeing as much game time as he perhaps should.

Alexandros Tzorvas and Leo messi have a back and forth, in the sense that they'd played each other 3 times in the last few months. Once in the world cup with argentina v greece, where messi capatained, and twice with these two champion league matches. I don't imagine Tzorvas is a huge fan of messi, considering that messi had scored against him 3 times. It must suck to have to be a goal keeper against Leo Messi.

Adriano's shot is saved. What a shame, he is still to have his first goal with FC Barcelona. He's had a great performance in this game though.

Pedro again with another goal! These goals are so typically barca. Outworldly passing with excellent timing leading to beautiful goals. I have no idea why Pedro is rated as a one star player in PES 2010.

And that's all the goals.

So with this win Barcelona has advanced into the next round of the champions league at the top of their group with one game remaining in the group stage. I believe this means their next game is going to be incredibly chilled.
Let's hope they never meet real madrid or inter milan, until they absolutely have to.

el clasico next monday! hopefully i will either be watching it live or have it recorded.

Barcelona V Copenhagen, 1st Leg. - injustice again.


i'm rather worried about tonight's game because firstly it is a very important game, and barcelona's #1 Victor Valdes is off sick.
oh! 4 minutes in and villa goes with a shot on target...
they really have to stop with these attempts, because year by year people are getting to know to play defensively and learning to deny them of chances.
villa offside no.1. i think i'll count them today. because he's rediculous with them.
iniesta is blocked off. what did i say earlier...
i'm kind of glad keita isn't starting. i haven't got anything against him but he's really... not that impressive.
just realised he's the only african by nationality on this side.
alves is in a different coloured pair of boots.
maxwell's shot is saved but messi goes for goal.... he's offside. what a shame.
okay.... well i trailed off for a few minutes because i went to erm... cut my toenails.
anyway, in those few minutes a couple of shots but no goals.
OH LEO MESSI I LOVE YOU. WITH ALL MY HEART. what a goal!
oh dear... from outside the box as well! oh leo messi, what will we do without you.
just... amazing. no smile from him... oh wait there it is. someone with an inflatable banana flalling thing! like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpkJoQUFqXM ..in a barca kit. i want one, where can i buy it?
leo messi's shot gone wide... copenhagan has a man down....
oh dani alves with solid denfence. he's just the everything player... play maker, defender, goal scorer.
HAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA copenhagen striker stopped half way through is run, he thought he was offside, but he ran from his own half. paranoid bastard. their coach is so pissed off. HAHAHHAHAAHAHA.
HAHA copenhagen initials are FCK.
i really need the bathroom but i've waited all week for this game.
bojan is looking bored as fuck on the bench... next to xavi, who is there "just in case"
david villa scores offside - #2
shame the score should be 3 - 0 by now.
so close! great save though. villa is literally about 8 yards from him. really good save.
what a dive. it's so not a foul. stupid assface.
this is what i hate about football sometimes
i hope pinto never really has to make a save. even though i know he can do it. his performance in the Joan Gamper cup was rather impressive, especially when it ended in penalities and he saved 3.
ball cleared to pinto who controls it with his feet. cool.
iniesta playing out of position. he's in dani alves' spot. referee thinks he's dived. it doesn't look that way. i'm rather annoyed.
shit. another offside goal. pique should really have just scored it himself. messi was offside, who was there to recieve it from pique. he should've just smashed it into the net himself. i'm rather annoyed. and i'm not the only one. Pep is freaking out.
alves is blocked by the keeper. some extreme, and i mean extreme dribbling, it's almost leo messi like.
what? iniesta shoots it way off? i have never... seen... that... before.... or seen him... made... ANY... mistake... ever...
i wonder who will captain the squad when puyol retires... he's 32 now, xavi seems to take up the armband when he's absent. Valdes when they're both away. but i don't see Valdes being a permanant goal keeper. Messi already has the fate of the club in his hands. maybe iniesta. or pique. i dunno.
pique is spinning around like a madman, attacked from both back and forth.
NO extra time in this half? what? the first half finish at 45.05
barcelona 1 - 0 copenhagen.
it really should be 4 - 0 but the offside rule is rather frustrating.
haha fifa 11 commercial. the only one missing in it is messi, always the rebel. PES 2011, Adidas football, always the one who's different to the rest of the sqaud.
to be honest, as a Barca fan, i'm dissatisfied with the score so far.
i feel like two of the disallowed goals are actually legit. and justice has not been served.
david villa is better looking today. maybe it's the light.
second half! good luck barca!!
puyol and pinto have been going back and forth for about 30 seconds straight.
at 3.49 am i am enjoying a cheese sausage.
copenhagen are smore aggresive after the break. i am rather worried.
barcelona people who are hard to please: Pep Guardiola, Leo Messi, David Villa.
Puyol is injured. he's enduring it but he's in pain.
i swear to god if copenhagen equalize i will fucking shame this referee. and the linesmen. because of the "offside" goals.
barcelona need to be more aware of the spaces. in relativity to the pitch not the team. its costing them a lot.
tiredness just hit me like a truck all of a sudden.
there are duck like cries in the audio of this game. i dunno if it came from the players or the audience. players i think.
messi looking absolutly gutted that his shot is off target.
villa is underachiving on the barcelona side. there's no doubt about it now.
the stupid commentator needs to stop complaining about why villa is the only one in the box.
has he not realised that all the forwards of barca are capible of scoring outside it?
i wonder if football to professional players have become more of a performance than a sport. have they lost the inital essence of sport?
whatever, leo messi is on the counter attack but is soon blocked off. his speed however... is rediculous.
FUCK. villa is fouled by two people in the box. referee is a fucking retard. no free kick, no card, no penalty.
hahahahhaaha copenhagen... shooting from 40 yards out.... it's the sort of thing i did on PES before working out the controls.
HAHA miss 5 yards out. Pinto was out after the first touch. hahahaa... fail with an empty goal as well.
xavi and pedro are warming up. pedero better be on for villa. because he's shit today.
grah, saved. david villa is going to freak out. he has not scored for barca in a while.
wait a minute... maxwell is off pedro, and villa is off for xavi... i think they did it wrong way around.
alves stops an equaliser. why are the commentators complaining about him? he's the most expensive defender in La Liga.
1 - 0 is really not a safe score to settle on...
the commentator is saying that ibrah was good for barcelona... what the shiiit?
he also pronounces "jose" wrong. he's not my fav.
oh my god, stop hesistating and missing chances.
why can't they just play with a score like arsenal last night.
who just got carded? i just checked, it was iniesta... i didn't see what was up with that... kicked the ball away in annoyence or something. he never gets booked. but if he gets a double yellow witha match ban we will probably die.
AHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAAH copenhagan coach picks up the ball on pitch. referee has a go at him. HAHAHAHHAA. if only he could book the coach. apparently he was clinically dead for a while...
oh my shit.... 5 minutes and a copenhagan corner...
dear, goal off the post. dani alves, just a fraction off.
oscar wendt has rediculous hair. it makes me want to throw up.
iniesta is off for... keita! DAMMIT!
this game is giving me heart attacks. i can't help but think if the score was 4 - 0 i would be feeling a bit safer. just a tad bit. dammit, 3 minutes extra time. hurry up!
messi. MESSI. MESSI. MESSI. MESSI. GOOOOOOL.
excellent control. i have to give abidal credit with an incredible cross.
FULL TIME!
WIN WIN WIN!!!
i think uefa ought to tally up the points now so i don't have to bother doing it myself. it's 4.40 and i cannot think straight.
Next Barca Liga game is on a sunday night, so DVR replay for me.
Next CL game is the same same on the 2nd of Nov.
MESSIIIIIII. i enjoy that he recently reinforced his everlasting love for barcelona and stating his intention of staying there forever.
full time: 2 - 0, Messi 19', 91' (wow, weird)
