If you were Mourinho...

Mou's tactics were on point in the early stages of the Barcelona game, but his players became fatigued in the second half and let them in. Pressing worked wonders.

For 5 minutes maybe.

I disagree, for the entire half Real Madrid made Barcelona nervous, even when they levelled. They sat off in the second and let Barcelona play through, but before that they really made things uncomfortable for Xavi, Iniesta & Cesc.

... I would buy a big road sign, put a picture of me on it and add the slogan "I'm the best".

Actually when Ronaldo plays against Barcelona, he looks like an average player. So this is not the best argument lol. Because he shits in his pants, 'cause he is too much focused and troubled by this "Ronaldo Vs Messi" thing.

I don't know why I always get the feeling he is too much focused on his hair rather than anything else in the games vs Barcelona.

Hahaha, that was the case at United. I actually think he's matured a lot more at Real Madrid, but I think he's a bit disillusioned by all the spending, all the wasted talent and all the negativity that surrounds Real Madrid in Spain.

This is where England & Spain differ. The atmosphere of the football grounds, the noise of the fans, how close the fans are to the pitch. It's completely different between the 2 countries and I'd even stretch as far enough, and be as bias enough, to suggest the amosphere in England is better than in Spain. I'm not saying the football's better, but the passion and fan interaction is. There's a reason Mourinho loves England.

I wouldn't say he is a ghost against Barcelona because he cares more about his hair than anything else, or because he is disillusioned about some off-pitch stuff. In my honest opinion, this is because he can't handle the comparison that all media and all people around the world are making. When he was at United, it was alright because Messi wasn't yet the player he is today and back then they wasn't playing in the same league. Now they are in the same league and we can compare them each and every week (which we do). Furthermore, Messi is now a better player than him and I believe that when he (Ronaldo) is playing against Barça, he takes those games as an opportunity to prove the people he is the best player of them. Thus he is more concentrated in doing so than in doing the stuff he knows to do, and therefore he tries too hard and fails.. To my eyes, he has a Messi-complex.

Twice, if you count the CL group stage in 2005.
