Pellegrini has finally cracked...

http://espnfc.com/news/story/_/id/1720568/pellegrini-vents-fury-swedish-ref-defeat?cc=4716

“The referee did not have any control of the game," Pellegrini said. "He decided for Barcelona from the beginning to the end. I think it was not a good idea to put a referee from Sweden in such an important match and a referee who made a mistake against Barcelona in the group stages.”

...

From the beginning I felt the referee was not impartial to both teams. The referee decided the game. Before the penalty, it was a foul on Navas when he was three metres from the play so he could see it. And it was not a penalty, it was outside the box."

...

“A big game with two important teams, that kind of game needs a referee with more experience. This referee whistled the Barcelona-Milan game in the group and he made an important error against Barcelona. Today he remedied it.”

He elaborated on his belief that it should not have been a spot kick when Demichelis brought Messi down: “The contact was outside the box. You cannot continue the foul: the first foul was outside the box. Barcelona did not have chances before the goal. It was a pity because that important action decided the game.”

spot on pellegrini

Pellers is an idiot for those comments. Yeah it wasn't a penalty but to say that Barcelona won because the referee was on their side is bogus. Barca created enough to score at least 3.

Simply put, beating Barca is our thing, not you soulless Citeh. Keep spending and keep trying lol.

City's chances were half chances at best. Barcelona had them chasing shadows all night, Yaya Toure was blowing out of his arse after half an hour.

Watching Barcelona last night was a joy. The first touch is perfect nigh on everytime, which then only requires the receiver to feed off onto someone else. The ball is under control all of the time and precision of pass is mind blowing.

Pellemuppet "The referee decided the game. He was on Barcelona's side from the beginning until the end."

I expect UEFA will throw the book at him , won't they...oh hang on its not Jose

[Special Juan 28,104]

It will be 4 or 5-0 second leg.

I couldn't understand how pple thought mancity will beat barca.

Only bayern style pressing, parking the bus or holding possession better than them can beat barca. Mancity don't use any of those styles and can't beat barca at keeping possession.

Barca had a penalty for handball by clichy turned down in the first half.

Barca had a legit goal by pique disallowed.

Pellegrini should shut up, the pressure after so much mind games from Jose has gotten to him.

Bayern is simply the best team I can ever think of, they have no weakness. They have world class players at every position , and a bench so strong I'm pretty sure a Bayern B team could make it semis of the UCL. It's fun to watch the decimate the Spanish giants, but I hate how they have a monopoly on all german talent. I really like Dortmund for whatever reason.

Jesus christ, win one Champions League and they're the best ever? City went to the Allianz this season and beat them 3-2. Don't think they're that good really. Teams can really nail them on the counter.

World class players in every position? Isn't Guardoila playing Rafina, Jerome Boateng and Dante? They're not world class players.

[Fulham Broadway 17,305]

Funnily enough they didnt play 'One Step beyond' (that they nicked from us) last night.......

[chelseathebest 150]

David Silva was a fucking beast. Just brilliant.

Taking their ball and going home.

And their 'outside the box penalty' was nowhere near as bad as the one Ellery gave in the 94 cup final, so sshhh.
