What a game.

[Sheva. 5,373]

Great game, congrats to Madrid.

[Ollie 4,400]

What a shit 2nd half. Real Madrid had a real chance of sending out a big message today. 2-0 up, against 10 men, creating chance after chance then in the 2nd half they don't do anything. Barcelona deserved to go through because or Real Madrid's boring approach in the 2nd half. They coulda stuffed Barca today but no.... held on for a 2-1, 4-4 away goals win. Really wish Messi had banged that last chance in. Woulda been what Real deserved. The away goals rule is shit.

[Jase 43,479]

Deserved victory for Madrid though they really should have won by more than just 2-1. The amount of chances Higuain squandered is just .

[Justin_3d 1,140]

Meh, I am not scare of this Madrid.

Bring them on! :blue scalf:

[Ollie 4,400]

Higuain is good but probably the worst finisher in european football.

[communicate 2,703]

Never seen team defended that bad, mascherano was bad, pique positioning was disaster and busquet had a nightmare game

[Ollie 4,400]

I hate draws. No team should win because of being equal. Man City winning the prem on goal difference is as bad as it gets but Real Madrid all having orgasm's and celebrating with a trophy in a 4-4, i hate it. It's probably my most hated thing in football. If you're good enough, win right? yeah they won 2-1, but they lost 3-2, why do they win. Just crap.

Man Utd and Man City shoulda had a one-off final at Wembley for the title or a 2 legged decider.

Real Madrid and Barca shouldn't have had away goals. It shoulda been extra time and pens.

When i watch football, i want to see a genuine winner. BORING.

I somewhat agree with you on Man city and Man utd, because GD is just an unfair way to determine a league Champion. But if it was even decided with the 2 games between both sides (1-6, 1-0) Man city will still come out on top, so there's not much to complain about.

On Barca and Madrid, i don't see a problem really, Madrid scored 2 goals away from home and thus deserved to win.

I disagree with you, I don't mind goal difference to determine who should win a league because it's all about who is more consistent and better for the whole year

Each to their own, i just think a fairer way will be games between the 2 sides.

[Tomo 21,751]

Goal difference is still goal difference, if a winner cannot be decided on points, its goes to goal difference then goals score then head to head, then if it's all level a decider.

Same with 2 legged ties, it's harder to score away goals so if you tie it goes down to who got more away goals, thats fine had Torres not scored late on in the Nou Camp we would this forum have protested for extra time instead of celebrating us getting to Munich?

W/ that logic, Chelsea should give up their European Cup. The Final was a draw AET.

[capriccioso 2,545]

Mario Gomez.

Anyway, Ronaldo has now scored in 5 successive Clasico's. People should hop off the "he's shit in the big games" bandwagon. Also, this was amazing:

[Ankit 3,176]

Lets be honest, Barcelona weren't going to come back from being 2-0 down with 10men, No-one does that...Oh wait? Chelsea did. #ChampionsOfEurope

[Ankit 3,176]

Anybody with extended english highlights of yesterday's match? Thanks.

No because i said the Madrid Barca game shoulda gone to Extra Time and pens. We won on pens, we genuinely won. I would just rather win on aggregate than win on away goals because i simply see it as not beating your opponents. I would've accepted away goals against Barca because of how they celebrated when they beat us on away goals in '09 but winning on agg is so much sweeter.

And yes it's harder to score away, so it's easier to score at home. Why Madrid only score 2 at home then and Barca 3. It's equal to me, you lose 2-1 but you won 3-2. A win is a win and look at the winner? Valdes trying to run round Di Maria and Di Maria blatantly fouled him and scored an open goal. When it's 2 clubs from the same country, away goals is crap, especially for a trophy so small.

I prefer how the Spanish League uses head to head before goal difference though. It seems fairer that way. At least Man City did genuinely beat Man Utd twice and in affect, the 6-1 was the title decider as the goal difference was from that game.
